Deciding on a "midsized"user...

I actually have a black on black Squatch that I've been using, and the scales feel like a golf ball in my hand. I've used it enough to know that I want something else or thinner scales.

Good to hear that the ASH LE is neutral, kind of rules it out for now. I've tried all of the E handles and never really took to them. I prefer the fusion handles. I've had old school SJ's in 3/16 & 1/4". Neither is enough of a chopper for me. Knob Creek is 8 hours each way for me, might try a proxy. Can't bring myself to modify or abuse the 08 SE SFNO.

Has anyone modified the scales on their Squatch? I figure the Squatch will outchop the Skinny ASH, but the FSH would outchop both, correct? Where does a Unlce Mojo fit into the picture? When it comes to the FBM's, I prefer the FFBM, so I'm looking for something a little smaller, a little lighter to carry.

Thanks,

don't know about the Mojo, but the Mofo is a sweet chopper. and significantly lighter than the FSH
 
All of these are in the running. I guess either the FSH or Uncle would be my top two, but I realize I'll have to pony up to get them. I actually had two Mr. Mofo's at one time and thought that they felt too neutral to be choppers and let them go unused. Live and learn. The Uncle Mofo is one of the only E handles that I liked. I'm tempted to try a Scrapyard Yardguard while I hunt down the Uncle. I agree that the mags on the Skinny are tolerable, more comfortable to me than the Squatch, however due to the design, I think choking back on the Skinny or any ASH would be harder than on a FSH or SFNO. Good to know that the Mofo will hold it's own with the FSH.
