Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: If you decide on a -4, get the HM version. I hate the handle on my 4 so much I designed and built a knife the same size package but with a handle that doesn't suck and a blade that doesn't have a giant choil and it ended up being a 5" bladed knife with a decent handle. Lol (not really Randall or esee style though) I handled a HM esee 4 and it's a way better design than the standard 4. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78442/KIMG6850_JPG-3236904.JPG DFARM is also also good people |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Caboose314: Any explanation for a non-blade nerd? Is it like the 1911 overpriced nostalgia for outdated tech thing? I have an Esee Izula and an Esee Junglas. I'm looking for something lighter than the junglas in the 4-6 in range and I liked the model 15 style. The Junglas is great for truck camping, but I always end up leaving it in the truck when I'm hiking. The Izula is great for hiking, but it would be nice to have a bigger knife when hiking in to a camp. I stumbled across the "Utah Special" combat woodsman from Flatrock Forge that looks to fit the gap I'd like to fill. Any input on that option? (I think the owner is a member here) https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/187062/1000008138_jpg-3236744.JPG I'll take a look at the blackjack that several have suggested as well. I'd just get an Esee 4, but I'm interested in trying something different. I want that wood! Nice! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: Regardless of your thoughts on it, I like it SO much better than your other one. I am happy now. That's what matters. Thoughts are not well thought out yet, but it's a keeper for sure. Fit / finish are perfection. It is really tight for now as far as opening and closing. I haven't found anything much needing cutting today that didn't require a power tool but I'm sure it will perform. The insingo will be hard to beat for practicality and functionality, but the drop point has a much more elegant appearance and the rest of the knife backs that up too. I'm really fond of this level of old school / new school mash up with the burl. Hard to put it in proper perspective - it has a certain gestalt I really dig. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: Honestly, I am amazed that BGE hasnt already come out with a digitally controlled version that opens & closes vents as needed. I think they will eventually have to do so, as that's where the market is going. There's a few after market kits that can open/close/force air through the vents and link to your phone |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: It's beautiful. The one inclusion in the burl has a touch of rose around it - carries over to the back side too. I think they should have included the gold spot lanyard bead. I don't so much mind paying for one, just saying it was obviously the correct lanyard for this knife. https://i.imgur.com/fr5E5DJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S5DrjI3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZupPKvb.jpg It is a stunner. The natural inlays have that gorgeous finish but the natural "flaw". Really looks great. |

KaBar 1277 mod. Some time ago I thought it would be cool to cerakote my 1277 so I had someone on here do it for cheap with whatever color he had on hand. He did the whole thing, which made the grip slippery.
It just sat until I stripped the blade but the handle wasn't able to be stripped. So I hockey taped it and put a mustard patina on it. I kind of like it now and the grip is less slippery. BEFORE:  AFTER:
