So am I the first?! :D Since I knew I wasn't selling this, and I don't like safe queens, I thought I'd brave the elements and put the HOG-ASH to work. I pretty much wore myself out trying to put a beating on the knife. I went through and split a bunch of 4x4 pieces of wood I had in the basement.... That didn't do anything. I then attempted to disassemble an old coffee table, but the ASH just laughed at it. I started stabbing and prying some pressure treated wood, and all it did was wear the coating on the tip.

I was getting mad because I wanted to show off some good wear and tear, but nothing was leaving much of a mark! This muddy coating is pretty tough stuff. Well, I was getting tired. I must've swung the thing about 200 times and it ain't no light knife. I decided to chop up some radial tires I had in the shed.

That finally made it's mark after cutting/chopping through the outside of the tire and through the metal radial threads. It left it's mark, but nothing really damaging at all. The edge is just rolled in a bunch of spots. I'll steel it out later and post some pics.

All in all, the HOG-ASH has my name on it, so it better be tough!! :D It passed as far as I'm concerned.


Now I just need to go find that cinder block...................

Arrghhhh, you bastid! I was going to be the first to post a little mud in your eye:grumpy:

I just opened the box and went straight outside to spank her for about an hour. As soon as I sit down to post the pics and realize that I forgot to change the camera settings to a smaller size I see this crap.

Congrats on being so quick;)
 
I knew it was coming quick, so I tried to get it done as soon as possible. :D
 
HOG editions are the same as the combat grade, .32.


Stay tuned, I couldn't find a cinder block, but I found a brick! :p

Pictures shortly.
 
:thumbup: LOL, right on!! Mine will be a user too... I mean, why not?? Who would want to buy a HOG ASH with my name on it? :confused::confused: :D
 
Beat it like it picked on your sister! :thumbup:
 
Well here's the brick, and a couple of the tire. Damned if the knife didn't hold up better than the brick! Put about a 1/2-3/4 inch hole in the brick before I gave up. I just went at it Sharon Stone Ice Pick style. I'm not silly enough to cut using the edge of the knife........yet. :D

Only noticeable damage to the knife is a little rounded tip. Not even that bad. The metal threads in the tire did more damage to the edge, but I expected that. Nothing that can't be steeled out. All in all, for what I've done to this knife so far, you'd never know. After a cleaning and steeling, she'll be good to go again. I plan on making this my "beater" knife (certainly not in a bad way. This knife may become my new best friend) I'll add pics of new stuff I cut/chop/stab/pry here.

Maybe tomorrow she can take on some stuff at work. I think I have some 1/8 sheet steel I can try and puncture. :thumbup:

Enjoy,

You need to chop through the brick with the edge.

I gave a convexed GW a smashing on concrete floor with the edge, only minor blunting occurred.
The ASH1 will just blunt on the edge a little more but thats it. The brick will be no match for the ASH1.. Go Ahead and chop through the brick. It will be part three of the picture set for this thread.... DO IT !!!

Where do you think I got the idea from..hmmm? :D Did't you put your pumpkin warden into a concrete floor? I remember there was almost no damage.

Absolutely!!! :thumbup: Can't imagine any one else beating up my ASH, anyway...I always do a better job of it myself! :D

yep... I love that pumpkin warden.
Here is the link
GW BEATING

I guarantee you will want to chop through another after you kill the first brick.
Just re profile the edge after the brick chopping.
 
I'll make a go at it tomorrow. It's raining out now, and I'm a wussy. :D

I do have something even more terrible in mind. Give me a couple minutes to take a picture. You won't believe the horror!

i must say i'm a little disappointed that the brick is still whole, but, it's ok.
