So I recently picked up a ESEE 6, and it's fantastic. This is my first ESEE and I can see why they have such a big following. The look, the feel, the fit and finish everything about the knife inspires confidence. Perhaps to much confidence, today I almost put the thing in my leg. I was chopping away at a fallen tree and had forgotten to use the lanyard, my gloves were muddy and the next thing I know the knife is flying back at me!! Well stupid me, I guess I got lucky, it poked a hole in my pants but didn't pierce the skin at all. It must have been just the right angle to catch my pants and not my leg with it! I certainly won't do that again, and it got me thinking I should play around with lanyards. Does anybody have any favorites? I'm not so good with knots and such, so if anybody has any good youtubes that would be cool. Or just pics of ESEE's with sweet lanyards. I have lots of paracord and lots of time, I just need some good instruction. Be safe!!
 
just run a loop of paracord through the hole at the back of the handle and tie a square knot in it.
look that over your hand and give the knife a couple of spins to snug it up.
 
i usually put a loop of cord through the lanyard hole and fnish it with a noose-type knot. put my thumb in the loop, run it over the back of my hand, hold the knife, and tighten the lanyard. that way, if i have to, i can still let go of the knife. i don't use one very often, though.

Since we're talking war wounds, this is my latest. No, not a knife but I have learned to never try to kiss a sleeping Jack Russell. Bit clean through the lip and it bled for two days.

Amazing....run through the jungles of third world countries, bomb drug labs, hang out with high speed low drag folks...no scratches....come home and get taken down by a 9 lbs pup.....priceless.....you have to love the irony....you won't be able to shave for a while...that's gonna itch.....Drew:D
 
HMMMMM, why would you even try to do that....:confused::eek:
Sounds like a pretty spur of the moment cind of thing... LOL
 
I should get a Darwin Award for this. This little dog will not bite you for nothing else except when he's sleeping. I always screw with him just to piss him off, but this time he won :D

Obviously not much of an animal lover. eh? My dogs are family. Period.
 
Ouch.My mom got bit by our Borzoi playing with her food.got her beside the nose.She still has a small scar.
I took a Ka-Bar almost in the exact same place as that dog wound.I was para cord wrapping my buddies Ka-bar.Just as I finished I had the chord drawn tight and asked him to cut it.He grabbed my Ka-bar and sliced up.Mine is much sharper than his so it passed through the para cord without hardly slowing down.It DID stop in my upper lip.The tip almost hit my teeth.Luckily for me it didn't scar hardly at all.

Oddly enough I got that exact same injury when i was 8 and needed 12 stitches. My neighbor's dad was a cop and used to allow his son to play with his unloaded snub nosed .38. One day we were playing cops and robbers and we both rounded a corner of his house coming towards each other full speed and I took the sight to the face and it split me open quite nicely. Not sure why a cop thought that was safe but that was a different time and he was not a smart man.
 
The dog's name is Scooter. That just doesn't seem macho enough for a knife name. :D

Are we supposed to be laughing when we see this, cuz I am! :D I

I got a call from my wife when she was picking up our chihuahua/ miniature terrier mix. She kissed the dog and it bit her on the nose. She learned not to kiss little tiny dogs (five pounds) which are growling at her.

You shoulda got that lip sutured, but the ugly scar will not repel the right sort of woman (wrong sort?)

And Jeff, you guys make a frigging pink knife - how is Scooter any less macho than that?

Scooter - the new Esse fighter. About 7-8 inches, long sharp clip, 1.5 inch stock.......
 
It's mine and my ex-wifes dog (joint custody). Ex-wife is a critical care nurse and she begged me to go get it sutured. Tried to get her to suture it and she refused so I'd rather have the war scar from that little bastard.. :D
 
hehe i have a terrier named scooter.... maybe not a macho knife name , but if you could replicated em in steel ... im sure it would be one heck of a companion.

I like these little dogs 'cause they just don't back off. If they weighed a hundred pounds we could unleash them on the enemies of the world and kick ass
