Recently discovered Busse and posted a thread asking about Busse, Scrapyard, Swamprat and what the differences were. Thanks to all who posted help. Im definitely in a different world now. Only been addicted for about a year (really pissing off my wife) and I dont know how it happened. Started with a Spyderco and twenty knives later Im here. Feels like home. Just wish I hadnt spent enough on my last Strider knives to have bought an ASH and a BM. Should be saving for kitchen remodel but one look at both those suckers and I gotta have at least one. NOW. So here are my questions.
1. What is double cut?
2. Do I want Magnum grips. I have medium hands but want good grip.
3. Hard to evaluate the ASHs. I want to use this knife especially since its my first Busse. So I started with the Combat double cut with black and white G10. Turns out to be almost same price as a ASHLE. I like the looks of the LE and seems from reading that these are more likely to increase in value. I also like the full flat grind. The combat is heavier and thicker, will that make a difference? Seems like all these knives are plenty tough. But the FBM test on knifetests.com was incredibly impressive and that knife is thick like the Combat. My question is would anyone really buy an LE and use it? I cant afford 2. Any opinions?
I know what you are going to say: "You're going to end up with both anyway so buy whatever?"
Look Im risking divorce already with the Striders. When this is through I couldve bought a stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Help.
Hell Im out of control. I dont drink but after three days on this website I see its time to start. Pass the Kool Aid.

...Yes, I will probably use one of my Combat Grade SH-1's too, but I want a user ASH-1that's not so thick & heavy, and I prefer satin finished knives.
