MOASH History.....

[FNFAN]

Can someone please educate me on the MOASH. I have researched the physical statistics, but not familiar with how many were ever produced. I seem to be able to find more variants, rather than straight production blades. Any background would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It was never a standard production blade. Ganzaaaas and shows only. Numbers won't be available.

The original MOASH came out of the Knob Creek Extravaganzaaaa of 2006. It was originally billed as a Heavy Ordnance Grade HOG Fusion Steel Heart with Double Cut blade and Snake Skin handles. (Price: $537.00)

However, there was a production snafu and some were made at .345" thick. Jerry posted the following...

So some folks got a MOASH even though they didn't know they were going to. I was one of those people. My story is even better. I was at a conference in San Francisco and missed the opening bell of the Ganzaaaa. I threw up a late desperation shot and went for the HOG FSH with snakeskin. What I got was this...
