Got my ash1 back from Jerry after he removed the finish and recerakoted it. It looks like a new knife and the finish does not come off it is tough as can be looks amazing it even smells nice ready to rough house though. I think I’m just gonna. Give it a sheath and display it truely  a work of industrial art. Thank you Jerry your bullet proof warranty  had me covered thanks for  correcting the problem. I’m one happy hog.
