I just received a Busse Skinny ASH-1 For Testing

[Noss]

Many have been calling for a thinner Busse so this is it. I'm going to do some additional testing with it before hand so it may be a little while before I get to the D-test. But not to long.

[Gman1128]

Oh man!! This is just awesome. Ive wondered the same thing for a while. I really can't wait for this test!!! :rockon:

[sharpshooter996]

Hey look he is going to destroy my cousin Busse. :eek: And Noss you were trying to score a second. What do you have to say for yourself :mad:

[Noss]

I'm guilty. What else can I say. :D

[eatingmuchface]

ooooh!
very nice!
i would think it would lose some strength and possibly break on the side tang impacts?
idk... I see it getting a 6. (I'm just about always wrong though)
I can't wait!
:D

[sharpshooter996]

I'm guilty. What else can I say. :D

May be Cardio was right a little Mexican Beef Chili diversion :rolleyes:

[Noss]

EMF: Yeah it should be interesting. About the side tang impacts. The RTAK II is about the same thickness an I could not break it like this. However the blade had already failed the hammer impacts on the spine. We will see what happens here.

[sharpshooter996]

My guess is the tip will pass the penetration test but may be fail in the vise. I think it will take the body weight test and tang impacts, and will fail some point during the metal shearing test. I bet it will out chop Scraper 6, A1 and equal or better the RD7. Could guess a 6 overall

[Gman1128]

I'm not sure what to expect, but I also think it will get a 6. However if it does break early I think it will be in the second position of the body weight test.

[dingyu1980]

hi,man
every time i am on the line ,i always browsing your page first!

another great test it is !
i am interesting in the flex test on it

[Shaolin]

That is a beautiful blade. Waiting for the test now.

[miro44one]

Great!I always wanted to see a D-test on an ASH-1

[eatingmuchface]

true... I never really thought about the rtakII test.
I just can't wait!!
:D

[lafayette]

Great test to come! I am sure we will be amazed again by Busse's knives' strenghness. I am looking forwaed buying another busse, smaller that the battle mistress

[vvk]

I played with one of the skinny's and I did not like that the knife that thin has forward balance for chopping. Also I felt that I will not be confident in such a skinny blade. I hope that Noss will prove me wrong though :)

[338 Stalker]

Dang Noss, you're just insane :eek: . I love your style ;) .
Man talk about self sacrifice for the good of knowing the superior steels :thumb:



PS-I will sling you a few $ in the next few weeks. It wont be much but I can drop a little at a time over time.

Will we see the Noss "dagger rating" on the box of certain brands. It wouldn't surprise me at all, this is how things get started!

[itxploded]

nice!!
IM baaaaaaaaack

[eatingmuchface]

good to see you around logan.
:D

[Noss]

nice!!
IM baaaaaaaaack

Welcome back Logan. I was wondering where you were.

[The Cameraman]

Now, when you say "received", what do you mean exactly, Noss? By "receive" do you mean donated?...or purchased? Don't tell me you spent money on yet another Busse, and this one, you don't intend to keep or, even better, give as a gift to your loyal cameraman? What's the deal, Noss, inquiring minds (well, mind) wants to know.

AN INQUIRING MIND, THE CAMERAMAN

[Noss]

This happened after you left for the job.So you didn't know about it.

[The Cameraman]

and you thought I wouldn't find out, eh? Well, I have something to look forward to when I get back....bring on the pain, Busse!!

The Effing Cameraman

[Macgregor]

Sweet!
I'm going to be picking up some thin infi soon, a .220 CE Hell Razor.

[itxploded]

i almost feel bad about you destroying it..... almost

[Noss]

It's a Damn nice blade.

[itxploded]

It's a Damn nice blade.

noss its a busse that above statement could have just said "it is a busse" means the same thing:rockon:

[Macgregor]

I got to handle g19g26 skinny ash today.
They are nice blades, I like it more then my fat ash.

[Noss]

Yeah it's a good size. I like wide blades and the Ash fits the bill. It has some weight but it is not to heavy. It's still on the short side for me. I don't use any of my knives of this blade length much. I just always prefer a full blow chopper in the field. This is just my opinion and preference of course.

[Thecarotidpulse]

I just always prefer a full blow chopper in the field.

Funny... I thought this was more your thing:

[Noss]

LOL I carry one of those as a back up. When I'm tired and I need a lot of firewood fast and the fire to go along with it at a push of a button. :eek::thumb::D

[vvk]

Noss,

Any news about the skinny Busse? When are you going to hive her a good pounding? :)

[Noss]

It's going to be a little while before I get to the D-test phase. I ave some extra tests I plan to do first. If all goes well this will be the most tested Busse I have done yet.

[Paul The Brit]

i almost feel bad about you destroying it..... almost

He hasn't yet.. Could this be another FFBM??

[Shaolin]

The Skinny Ash-1 should be interesting.

[foxyrick]

I'm looking forward to this one... I have an LE and HOG (CG) ASH so am quite interested in the results.

[dingyu1980]

hi, Noss , how about the perfermance of the BUSSE

[dingyu1980]

busse ash 1 in the ordinary use?

[lsutigers1010]

[Noss]

I'm working as fast as I can to get everything done. :thumb:

[out5yder]

busse ash 1 in the ordinary use?

Hi guys,

I've almost completed some tests against my own Skinny ASH-1 for ordinary use. And not only ordinary use, but I've also pushed its limits a little bit to see how it behaves. This week I intend to post my tests and story. It took me a long time :thumb:

PS: hope you're not upset if I put my tests on the forum before you, Noss! Anyway, my tests are personal and different.

Best Regards!

[dingyu1980]

man, i am looking forward to !!!!!
thanks

[Shaolin]

Bring It On!

[LoganSackett]

It looks invincible.

[Shaolin]

Nice little test, thanks.

[out5yder]

Here it is, ready: http://www.knifetest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=455

And there will be more coming soon.

I don't know if I posted it in the right area of the forum. But anyway, it's on.


Best Regards!

[338 Stalker]

I'm very close to buying one myself.

I believe the only way this knife will fail is on the steel cut, second time around, maybe?
I can't see it snapping under the first weight test, I'll put my left nut on that :eek: . And I would be shocked if it failed on the second weight test as well. Nah it's a bow, she'll be right mate :cool: .

I'm thinking at least 6 daggers for this skinny brute!

[Noss]

I'm sure it will do well.

[338 Stalker]

I'm sure it will do well.

I hope so, I just bought one.
Damn you men & all your INFI tests http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/Tez308/shamefunny.gif , how does a man no say ;) . I'm just a hopeless slave to Jerry & his merry men.

[Shaolin]

Congrat's 338. Did you get it at the BCS? Which combo?

Thanks man :thumb:

Yes I did, I chose this one. Olive drab with magnum black canvas micarta.

[Shaolin]

Very Cool.

[out5yder]

I updated the topic here: http://www.knifetest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=455&page=5 by adding more tests. Not very good news regarding the lateral strength (I tested only the tip). Waiting to see how it will perform in the body weight test under Noss's weight :D

[NervusNorvus]

Looking forward to the evaluation and D test, Noss. It will be illuminating to find out how a thinner piece of INFI holds up in comparison with the prybars.

[akadave]

I have a Skinny Ash and I cringe at what awaits the one your are going to test!

[Noss]

akadave; Welcome to the forum.

[akadave]

akadave; Welcome to the forum.


Thanks Noss!

[Noss]

I won't be doing the edge retention testing with the ASH-1 :( There were some problems, so until I work them out this will have to wait until later using another Busse knife.

Anyways,To speed this up since I have had this knife sitting for a while. I'll still be doing the field test if I can get away to do it. If not , Then just the D-test on the ASH-1. This is what most want to see anyways.

[miro44one]

Too bad, but I' m still looking forward to the D-test and the field test, hopefully.

[Noss]

Yeah I'm going to try and go next Tuesday for the field test.

[will york]

So what's a turkey's worst nightmare?

I have an idea it might involve taking an ill-timed nap during Thanksgiving week while Noss is roaming the woods conducting Busse field tests -- and running out of things to chop. :eek:

[Noss]

:D:D:D:D No turkey will be safe. :D:D:D

[Koa]

I'm excited to see the skinny ASH test. I almost got one but went with the biggin instead.

[Noss]

Well I couldn't make it out for the field test last week. So I'm shooting for Wednesday this week.

[91xlt]

just wondering if testing has begun on the skinny ash?

[Noss]

91xlt: Yes it's all complete. I'm still working on the videos. My time has been a little limited in front of the computer this week but I'm working on it.
