Nice pics! Are those DC or satin?

People sure have been getting the ASH-1 bug as of late :D
 
Looks like black canvas... Errr linen! I like it oiled. :D:thumbup:
 
Same knife in both pics, of course.

Satin blade. Tiger hide mags, unoiled and oiled.

Though I'm usually an advocate of standards, I like the mags on this knife. :thumbup:

I believe the HOG knife will have the same.

Yep...the mags on this knife are especially perfect.
 
I like the Mags on the .22 blade and standards on the .32 blade:thumbup:
 
It's a good idea to oil your slabs, keeps them from getting a sunburn. Yours are looking like they have a nice tan though ;) :thumbup:
 
What kind of oil did you use??? :confused:

With mineral oil, you can still see the color variations.

I used a good 30 weight. :p

Seriously, it's mineral oil--just slathered on pretty heavily. That really dark complexion will wear down and lighten with use and time.
 
Here it is after the oil has had a chance to soak in and wear a little. Really nice scales on these LE's. Quickly becoming my favorite ASH.

Great pics Guyon. I just had #134 arrive in the mail, and I have to agree that mags on this blade configuration is awesome!! Thin blade+mags=awesome. This may have a fighting chance against my HR as my favorite mid-size knife!:thumbup:

Nice pics, Guyon! #60 just showed up at more doorstop, and brother, is it sweet! It also came with a crazy sharp, perfectly ground edge. The QC on my ASH-1 LE is the best of any of my Busses so far. It is perfect! And for the first time, I'm happy with tigerhide handles straight out of the box- no sanding or oiling required on mine.

A FBMLE showed up at the exact same time, and I'm playing with the ASH-1 instead of it. The ASH-1 LE is much cooler than the CGs, for me. Thin is in!
 
Man, I'm starting to like that model more and more! Can you use WD-40? Don't laugh.
