+1 on the ASH1. :thumbup:
I'd go with the LE and the GC... but that's just me.
Oh... and the skinny too!
And while we're spending your money ... You should get a mistress or 3. 
At least one of each kind... LE, CG, FF... and, and a SHBM...
definitely need one of those. :thumbup:
I know you said next ONE.... but I never said I could count.

Good Lord, Plucker!! 
Far too hard a question!
You're just starting ... and you've got a lot of catching up to do.
Sure, you should get an ASH-1. But you should also be looking out for Battle Mistresses, at least an FBM or FFBM -- especially before the prices on those start to inflate.
And there's all the EDCs ... man, too tough for Friday. :grumpy:

you definitely need a battle mistress...
if you can afford it, a SHBM would be nice, but if you want a reasonably priced mistress, you should go with an ergo or a fusion....i recommend fusion....
many many variations of the fusion battle mistress available....
CGFBM: combat grade battle mistress....sabre ground with CBT bevel, .25" thick, coated blade.....scallop pattern on the spine is unique to CGFBMs....
FFBM: fat flat battle mistress....sabre ground with flat bevel, .31" thick, coated blade....spine scallop pattern identical to LE and SE versions....3 different variations in tip styles: 1)penetrator tip ; 2)swedge ; 3)flat top tip
FBMLE: fusion battle mistress limited edition...full height flat grind, .31" thick, satin finish blade, tigerhide handle slabs, serial number on blade....spine scallop pattern identical to FFBM/SE models...swedge tip...
2007 FBMSE: fusion battle mistress special edition, very rare blade, .25" thick, sabre grind with flat bevel.....double cut blade
2008 FBMSE: fusion battle mistress special edition, also very rare, .25" thick, full height flat grind, satin finish blade, 4" sharpened swedge, G-rex handle slabs.....the lighest of all the standard FBMs....not standard though by any means, as it is a custom shop offering.....my favorite FBM.....i was told only 30 were made......
either way, whatever you decide, you absolutely need a battle mistress.....

You have the little EDC knife with your HC. Now you need a medium and a large.
Medium:
Large:
That's what I would do if I were you.
Medium:
- Adding fuel to the fire... get an ASH1! If you can swing it get the ASH1 LE (or/and)
- Score in the Ganza and pick up a Sarsquatch, JackHammer or Hellrazor
Large:
- Get a FBM before the prices go up much more (or/and)
- Watch for a Dogfather or Battle Rat
That's what I would do if I were you.

Since Busse's are meant to be used just take a look at your current line up and see where you have a hole to fill. Do you need a large chopper? then buy a FMB, or FFBM etc.
If those pictures in your post are your knifes, I would say that the Bony AD is a perfect small edc, the SArsquatch will cover all your medium knife needs. get a large chopper.

BATTLE MISTRESS!!!!!!
In any form, but I would suggest Fusion since they are cheaper and more plentiful. I think to really appreciate INFI you should have a monster chopper, but thats personal opinion, others may vary.
Its just when you hit a nail in a pallett or something and the steel just rolls and says "that all you got" you fall in love with it.I have had scotch forgive spelling etc.
