as I mentioned before I've been out the knife scene for a while and see there are a load of new, very different designs! One being the sarsquatch, what was the original info on this one and what do you guys think of it ?
 
They were a Blade 2008 release; in general, they seem to have been well received. It came in a special 2008 Competition Finish as well as black and tan versions:

It's my favourite design, but I've never used my SARsquatch (only to cut a pumpkin). It's in my collection (collection..., a such hawfull word for knives).

My everyday carry knife is the GameWarden.
I love choppers with heavy blades. The SARsquatch is certainly fast, but I would prefer it with a thicker blade. I love my CG ASH-1 (but It's a little short). I love my Ratweiler (but it's not INFI).

If you never used it, how would you know?:confused: The Ash 1 doesnt out perform the squatch on anything, except lateral strength and batoning, its too thick for its length, which in turn makes it stronger but way less functionable. I fixed that for you, your pictures on previous threads show a chopweiler. The sarsquatch is awesome, heads and tails better than an Ash1, I have several of each and have used both extensively, get a squatch before the price of them skyrockets.;)

Hi Greg,

You're right it's just supposition : because in the past I have used a few knives with approximatively the same weight, size and thickness, and I know that for my needs I prefer heavy blades (and if possible a bit longer).

I have this choice to make :
  1. Or I use my SARsquatch and I keep it.
  2. Or I don't use my SARsquatch and I sell it to buy a MOASH, a Standard FSH, a HOGFSH, or YOUR wonderfull FBM CG.
 
The sarsquatch is by far the most useful Busse I have, although Im almost sure (I don't have one:() a staight handled SJ would takes its place as my most useful user. Its size, shape, and weight look most handy as a backpackers tool. Alas, I won't spend want seller's want, so I bought two CE sarsquatches, one just in case I lose my current user, you may regret not using yours coupchox, a lot, thats what I was getting at. If weight isn't a concern look for a HHFSH.

And of course the king of kings in my book for its incredibly perfect size, blade shape, and weight... INFI or not... the original Rattweiler! I love this thing.

I know you asked for sarsquatch thoughts but it gets a lot of competition at my house.

thank you Greg. I know but Life is choice.

In the past I had more than 200 knives. I don't care about collection now.

I have a few robust khukuries, a few good knives, 4 sharp axes, and my ColdSteel shovel (a cheap but super tool). Users, users, users. That's enough.

Ha ha, mags very nice, this gets even stranger because that picture with the rug and the hhfsh and squatch (that's voxhogs rug, I know it anywhere) that HHFSH is my HHFSH that I bought from him, used, I think that picture was taken before he used it. I agree with your stance on only having users, its seems a shame to have something so useful just sit in a drawer or safe. My FFBM LE is definately one of those.:barf::rolleyes:

+1. The ASH1 is short and fat. :thumbdn: I passed on my HOG knife for that reason. No Regrets.

I may have to pick up another CE Squatch while the market is soft.
 
It depends. For me ASH-1 are superbs. They are unbelievably powerful knives for their size.

ASH-1 : No Regrets.
