For the first time, I traded down.

And I couldn't be happier! Thanks to Knife Hunter I finally have the chunk 'O' INFI that I believe will go to the grave with me. Thanks to Dave Brown for the killer pants as well.:thumbup:
The only mate for this beast is the MiniMuk, so "Bring It!"

 

[Tony G]

I do think that is a great knife :thumbup:

 

[Gravelface]

Traded down? What did you trade?

 

[Tree Herder V]

Great knife and sheath! The more I look at pics of the Sarsquatch the more I like it (NEED it ).

 

[mymindisamob]

Traded down? What did you trade?

A DC/Black Mag ASH 1.

It's never a trade down as long as you wind up with something you want more !!

 

[Guyon]

Value-wise maybe, but I like the SARsquatch a little better than the ASH-1 for an all-around camp knife.

Nice set up.

 

[Ken44]

I think I may have traded down about 13 years ago

But the new one does perform a bit better




Thanks for the pics:thumbup:

Agreed!

Thanks and I agree. I think it's on even ground with my SFNO.

 

[xaman]

sweet score, that's a beast!

MMIAB...you should definitely get rid of the SFNO now. Send her down to me, and I'll dispose of her properly. All your knives are belong to me. ; )

People seem to really like the Sarsquatch. I'm still holding out for the SAR4s. But congrats on the new INFI - there's no such thing as a trade down if you're getting what you want. That is a pretty sheath, by the way.

I really like the Sarsquatch too....picked up one on the exchange and one in the ganza. Thanks for the pics.

I don't know that you traded down. I have a 2007 ASH-1 SE that I like a lot. But I like the Sarsquatch better. Especially since I stripped it and gave it a better edge.

I traded a Busse Meaner Street SE for a Swamp Warden and Rat Trap. I carry that Rat Trap every day. The Meaner is a nice knife, but my Scrap Yard SS4 with the mudder grips fit my large hand better, so I let the Meaner go. It all depends on what works for you.

 

[mymindisamob]

I only traded down in monetary value is what I was getting at. I got the bargain in my personal estimation. I usually strip INFI once it makes it past the cardboard sheath, but this one is getting beat first. I promised my kids a new path on our property this summer, and I think the Squatch will be the tool used.

 

[OldPhysics]

You definitely made no mistake.

I'm keeping at least one SARSquatch in my permanent collection. Probably the Comp Grade.

A DC/Black Mag ASH 1.

I think you traded up Bro! :thumbup:

You'll have to convince me when it comes to the Skinny ASH-1!

I missed the mailman yesterday who left a note that stated I had to sign for an item - and I would imagine that item was a SARsquatch! :grumpy:

I agree with the general consensus here that the trade was good for you if you, personally, like the squatch better. I see where you're coming from trade-value wise but it sounds like you didn't really trade-down in terms of what you wanted (just $$$ wase). Moreover, as I'm sure you know, the squatch could pull ahead in cash-value in a year or so.
