Yes, I have the 5E from the Bloodbath, but I have not yet photographed it. I received it on Monday of this week. The handles of both are roughly the same overall thickness, but those of the Pumpkin ASH1 have more contouring, specifically that they are slightly thinner between the handle fasteners. This is somewhat evident in the sixth photo above, which is the spine shot.Do you have the black and tan Ash1 from Bloodbath? I wonder how they compare?
I've been busy selling/moving my house in Canada so I missed BladeWest and had to sit out the last Ganzaa so I am a little out of the loop, so where was this pumpkin offered? I hope this is a sign of things to come (more ASH offereings in lots of blade/colour combos), I love my ASH-SE and wouldn't hesitate to pick up another!
Sweet score and great pics!
