Natural Outlaw ASH Hybrid...
I was getting ready to box up Paddling_man's passaround knives, and was also reading Solstice's thread about the same time today, when the beginning's of an idea started to form... Obviously many here love the SFNO, me included, and many also like the ASH-1. Even after handling PM's SFNO, I really still think that I prefer the ASH-1 handle configuration over the SFNO's. I really like the ASH-1 as is, and I like the SFNO as is... But I still wondered what would happen if I were to dip the chocolate in the peanut butter...
...So this thread is to find out what it would "taste" like... There's a few things I would like to see, but I had a bit of trouble creating chops of these... I'd like to see the blade canted forward a bit from the Ricasso (Am I using accurate terminology on this? Maybe I should say that I'd like to see the handle angled down a degree or 2...), maybe a degree and a half to 2 degrees... Nothing major, like a Sibert Particle Accelerator (Although that IS a cool design!) for example, but just a bit. I screwed that chop up badly and gave up on it... I'd also like a saber grind on it, like the 1st Gen SFNO's...
Here's a SFNO and an ASH-1 side by side:
And here's a chop with the ASH-1 handle on a SFNO blade... with very minor variations to the Talon hole & Pommel:
Here's the same pic as the first with the Hybrid added, and the blade extended just a TINY bit (crappy chop)... Mebbe a half inch or less in real length:
Ok... Now before y'all say, "Hey Jaxx, ya mo... Whadduya think a FSH is??", I considered that, and it's close too... but has a longer blade that seems to be a tad wider than a SFNO. I wouldn't want the blade that long, but maybe a third of the difference between the 2, if even any extra length at all. Here's a pic of the SFNO on top of my FSH:
So... :thumbup: or :thumbdn: ??? Whatcha think? More importantly... Does this spark any other ideas with y'all?
...Can anyone with more experience with photo chopping than me (which means MOST of ya! LOL) maybe give a shot at doing a better version of this for me with the slight handle or blade angle and the saber grind added in? TIA if ya can.
Thanks for lookin'! :thumbup:
