I'm right there with you man. My second Busse was a .23" black w/ OD Canvas ASH (SE?) and I no longer own my first (BWM.) It has been my favorite midsized (5"-7") knife since the moment I took it out of the box.
I recently decided that I was becoming too much of a collector, so I trimmed my collection down to just my top favorites. During this process, there was no question whether I should get rid of the ASH. If I ever get back into collecting, I will definitely be getting a .32" CG and an LE.
I LOVE the Steel Heart Ergo as well; it feels incredible in the hand. If you see one for sale, snatch it up. You will not be disappointed.
These pictures are from when I first got the blade and from the original seller. My ASH now is now even better with a matching, black and OD D-Guard and lanyard. I don't like D-guards on a lot of knives, but I LOvE having one on my ASH
