[Andy the Aussie]

..... or my own little piece of Busse happiness...

A couple of packages arrived from the US overnight and I got to finally tear into them and play a little...



Lil Smokey (with leather sheath)

.22ASH with hand shapped black canvas (Mashed Cat Kydex)

.22ASH with machined black and green G10 (Mashed Cat Kydex)

Mountainmandu (Buy Brown Kydex)

I have to say I am one happy happy little camper tonight...!!!

The ASH1s are about a year in the making and are just what I wanted...thanks to Garth and Lexi for making them a reality !!!!!

 

[Stump Buster]

AWESOME!!! Does this change the packing list?!?!?:thumbup:

Congrat's!!!

 

[Andy the Aussie]

Close mate, mighty close but probably not.

 

[RussMo]

Great snags Andy!!! I like my MMD as well...

 

[elof_alv]

Nice haul mate!:thumbup:

 

[number41]

Nice set of blades.

 

[Hard Knocks]

AWESOME!!! Does this change the packing list?!?!?:thumbup:

Congrat's!!!

Close mate, mighty close but probably not.

Ha ha that was the first thing I was going to ask Thought the hand-shaped ASH might get some lovin' in Africa! Those sure look nice Andy.

 

[Andy the Aussie]

If I had a little time to do some edge work and such I think there is a good chance it would be an ASH on the trip

I am really stoked with the pair, but I also must say the MMD is hard to put down !!!! It is a great blade !!!!!! Visually and in hand I find it really appealing !!! I am not warming up to the Lil Smokey as quick, i do personally prefer larger blades and this one arrived with competition that was going to be hard to better .

Oh those ASH1s though ....

 

[Don't drop it.]

Use the Lil' Smokey to cut up some mangosteen. Use the ash's to gut some pigs. And use the mountainmandu in Africa to take down the mosquitos that get to close.

[evilcatfish]

Very cool! Just curious, how many ASHs do you have now? I think a family pic is needed!

[WLJ4163]

Very nice!

 

[xxwarderxx]

Very nice. That all black hand shaped ASH1 is really nice.

I'm curious, as someone who probably owns every version of the ASH1 ever conceived, what's your favorite configuration? If you could have just one.

 

[Hindsight]

Andy those look awesome. Hope that lil smokey warms up for you. they are great little blades.

 

[evltcat]

LOVE that hand shaped canvas ASH, Andy!!!!! :thumbup:

Those would be ASH1 numbers 14 & 15? You're making it difficult for me to catch you, Sir! In a friendly, competitive sort of fashion...;-)
