....the 3B2 was a bit like a hot washed ASH... probably 80% the size of the standard ASH1. An ASH in RMD proportions would be nice as well !We have the ASH1, ASH2, how about a smaller version of the ASH1? Call it the HALF ASH, or better yet WHUPASH!! Has a nice ring to it, yes?
Well...
Despite scouring the exchange, I can't seem to find a HACK Elmax Warden or Active Duty to use as a game knife, so I grabbed a gently used Max Duty. My current dilemma is trying to convince myself to NOT modify it... grind the tang away for a HACK sized choil, round off the butt to a more Game Warden shape, and (maybe) slightly grind the spine to more of a drop point... a Max-HACK-Duty-Warden?!? I'm sure the shop would do a much better job than I can, and save a bunch of effort.... so Pretty Please?
If that won't fly, I simply vote for more Busse heat-treated, super-thin ground Elmax... the Max Duty and a new to me ScrapMax have quickly become my favorite slicers!
