I recieved my first Busse last week. The ASH-1 is a really unique blade. So far, I've only used it to split some wood for the fire. The heft is great for a medium size knife. However, it's probably too heavy for my Alpine Lakes early buck hunt that I will be doing this year again. But, that's not what I bought it for. I really just wanted to see what these busse's were all about. I've had a few RATs that where great, but when I saw Thombrogan on board , I new I had to give them a try. I'll try and post some new pics.
