Yes, Please, I'll Take One Of These

[WatermanChris]

I'm guessing it is the one that was listed in the satin Basic set for sale. That is a beautiful knife , and I would have bought it in a second if money had not been tight.

I ended up with this awesome set. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/nekkid-busse-with-pics-fmv8-b7-b5-ds8.1596172/#post-18229292

I bought them both plus a B11 from @Will York who is an awesome guy to deal with!

Those are REALLY NICE!
The satin B5 & B7 might be one-of-a-kind; I do not remember seeing any others (B5/B7) in factory satin finish.

Me too. I was disappointed in the ASH-2 tip profile change.
.

Yes sir same here! And the grind also, could be a little higher imho.

What was it about the ASH2 tip that you guys don't like?

I can only live vicariously through pics since I have never held an original ASH2. But it looks like the tip was more in line with the center of the handle on the OG? More drop point? Not a problem for me truly.

Really if I could change one thing it would be the grind, either higher or FFG. If I could change two, it would offer DC and Satin options. Looks like the OG version had both and I dig it!

Wish I would have been around back then.

Aesthetically the ASH1 tip profile is more appealing to me. From a practical standpoint, I suppose how you use either style knife might make one easier to use than the other.

I also prefer the FFG on the ASH1 (prior to the BG version).

I have a couple of those original Steel Hearts in the safe. I also have a Holy Terror from the same era.

Do you have pictures we can drool over?

The Holy Terror unbolts and becomes a D-gaurd for the SH1.

Also pictured with some other early SH's.

The small knife is a 3 finger.

Classic!!! Those are beyond cool! Thanks so much for sharing some pics with us!

I've had all of those, hasn't everyone?

.....it didn't follow the lines of the original. That front ends one of the reasons I love the ASH1, the 2 didn't do it for me nearly so.

Very nice collection. Those SH1’s and Holy Terror are spectacular. Is that green linen?
