So.... this just happened:
2h57a0g.jpg


Skinny ASH-1 w/G10, Chuddy Bear and (what appears to be) Mashed Cat Kydex sheath... it was new/unused/safe queen. I immediately cut up some shipping boxed (holidays are good for extra cardboard), sliced up a couple packs of chicken thigh, and smoothed the coating a bit. Not sure if she'll be a stripper (but it's very likely)--for now, I'll just admire this skinny ash just as she is... I think this one has just knocked my beloved Hellrazor out of the top spot... maybe. More usage to come--fire pit, hiking trail, and next camping trip.

This one is a little special in a different way too--some extra (and unexpected) modest funds came my way from my recently deceased uncle's estate; in effect this will be his last gift to me. He was more than my mom's brother--he was the guy who raised me, was closer to me and better to me than my parents, and he died in my arms after refusing further treatment for his illnesses about six months ago. The last thing he did was give me a smile. He really liked my other Busses, and we had some good talks by the fire pit as I whittled. I'll be doing that with this blade too.

And on a more cheery note--many thanks to all the good folks at Busse Combat, you rock of course. Thanks for making such great blades.
 
Very nice blade sir and a great little last gift. I was very close to sniping that one but didn't go for it. Glad I didn't. Enjoy the beautiful knife (and sheath, they hawt too ;))!
 
Congrats !!! The ASH 1 is an awesome blade ! Some really nice sheaths there too.
I was watching that one myself, but stayed out of the action

Well congrats again on a great score and thanks for the pic
 
Thanks guys--yeah, great blade, and amazing sheath; I've always wanted a Chuddy Bear sheath--glad it was with this blade. Looking at the pic, I noticed that the G10 photographs brighter than it looks in person. It has more of a military-type flat/ dark hue when I look at it.
 
Beautiful knife/sheath combo! Im sure she's glad to be out of that safe and enjoying doing what she was designed to do!
 
One of the most ergonomic in hand.

Love the way your handles look in the plain G10-- those textures kinda get washed out in the canvas Mic.

Keep saying I'm gonna start strapping mine to my day pack, but the B8 is hard to dislodge from it's native habitat.
 
Sorry about your uncle, but what a great way to remember him; that ash is a winner for sure!
 
That's a great way to remember your uncle. Awesome knife and sheaths. A skinny ASH is in my top 2 wish list.
 
I'm glad the person who outbid me will appreciate that blade as much as you will sir. It's a doozy. Use it hard. :D
 
Ha! That was you! I was a little worried... thanks for the well wishes! Thanks all.
 
Great knife with a great story. Use it as intended and then pass it down to someone in your family later in life.
 
Yeah--my son is already eyeing it. And he called dibs on my TGLB already. He's only going to be 7 in a few months, but knows the wonders of infi and Busse. Hell, my kids think Busse and "knife" are one and the same.
 
I've always wanted an Infi Ash, but I still don't own one. Something's wrong with that. I think you've convinced me now Aias. Nice present.
 
Thanks man--totally worth it. The skinny is just about perfect for me--I love to hike, and it's a very manageable size and weight for belt carry.
