Well, after reading about these knives here and everywhere I could, and looking at tons of pictures and stats, I finally picked up a Skinny Ash at the company store, along with a kydex sheath. If this is "skinny" I'm going to start calling myself the skinny 215 pound oldster! I mean, at first I was surprised (I've never seen a Busse knife in person) and then it just hit me as funny. Owning is believing (the pictures don't do the size justice). You could attach this thing to a stick of dynamite, blow it up and still cut with it after the explosion.
Anyway, quick question. The kydex is a great sheath, though I prefer leather BUT I don't like straps (I tend to cut them). Anybody recommend a leather sheath without a strap that'll work? I've looked at some and like the mag-randall at Chuddy Bear, but does anybody have one and will it work with the (so-called) skinny ash? If I know I'm going to stand on my head or begin gymnastics classes, I'd use the kydex, but generally I'm just a 'skinny' oldish guy who walks through the woods now-and-then.
Thanks for any help. I'm still a little in shock with the knife...not my first knife by a long shot, but again, my first Busse and from what I can tell thus far, worth every penny.
