It would make a good hiking knife, not so big as to scare people, but, big enough to do the chores.

The skinny ash is a great knife! And available at the company store in some nice combinations. You can't go wrong with the skinny Ash, however I prefer my Sarsquatch for the activities that you described. The reason being that the Sarsquatch is a much better chopper,IMO, its added length and weight gave it the advantage... the handle design is more comfortable too.:foot: Although, I feel if delicate tip work and deep penetration is needed it would be skinny Ash to rescue. I know you asked for peoples opinions on the skinny Ash but the Squatches are in the same size and price range, GET BOTH!!!

i have a skinny ASH and i love it.....
i also have a mirror polished CG ASH and if i had to choose between the two, i would take the skinny 10 times out of 10....
the blade geometry of the skinny allows it to be a wicked little slicer and it can do all the tasks required in a survival situation....the thin profile and lightness of the blade might hinder its chopping and batoning abilities.....however, those tasks can be achieved with the skinny ash, albiet with a bit more effort.....
what it lacks in chopping and batoning, it makes up for in everything else.....
to me, it has the most comfortable handle of any busse that i own....
it carries very well on the hip because of its light weight, it cuts like a laser, carves with great control, and has a very sturdy point.....
also, the skinny ash has enough belly to serve as a skinning knife in a pinch...and if you were to ever run into any two legged hostiles, the skinny ash is a great fighting knife...
yes, get a skinny ash, you will not regret it...

I'll second everything New said above.. it does feel great in the hand and is very maneuverable. in fact, it is the Busse that now lays beside me at night. it will be a keeper... Get one while they last at the Busse shop... only $302 for mag handles ! a heck of a deal on a great knife..
