More Specifications

[Raymond1000]

Here’s the standard spec list from the catalogue, for the ASHBMCG:

BLADE LENGTH: 11"
BLADE WIDTH: 2"
BLADE THICKNESS: 5/16"
OVERALL LENGTH: 16-1/2"
GRIND: Full Height Flat
STEEL: INFI
HARDNESS: 58-60Rc
CHOIL OPTION: With Choil
AVAILABILITY: Ships within 4-14 weeks

Fair enough. But I’d like another category.

KNIFE WEIGHT: XX oz.

Weight matters. Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. We can make better choices when we know the knife’s weight. (For example, when woods bumming I default to the BWM. That lighter chopper suits my needs.)

To make comparison easier, list the weight in ounces, Ounces are the least common denominator. At least, common in America.

It's around 27 ounces. I believe this has been discussed before on a previous forum post. Handle material fluctuates weight by 1-3 ounces.

The Bushwhacker is cool and all, but the Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress is in a league all its own.

If the knife is too heavy, throw something out that doesnt matter like that cast iron frying pan! My favorite quote from Philmont.
