I received from USPS this WE Espirit in the same configuration as you

on the same day. I agree that this thing is sweet! I've wanted one of these for about a year. It's funny, I already knew, even a whole year ago, that this would be one of those very few "perfect knives" for me.

It's almost a boring knife to me because I already knew exactly what to expect and that it'd be boringly perfect.

Thank you for the kind words!!
I had the same thoughts when I got my first Sebenza. I knew everything in advance, and it was definitely a boringknife. But it was great!I received from USPS this WE Espirit in the same configuration as you M maxjeg on the same day. I agree that this thing is sweet! I've wanted one of these for about a year.

Very nice. That’s like the WE version of the Kizer Laconico Gemini.
Had these three on me today…

Yessir, both pretty sweet Laconico designs! I'm a big fan of Ray Laconico, I've had a thing for his designs for many years. This thing's one smooth criminal. Looks like the Gemini is a standard flipper, and the Espirit is a front flipper, so whichever tickles your fancy, along with the other differences in materials.
Yup, OD green micarta, the true ticket to J jfk1110 's heart no less!Is that micarta on that PDW???..OD green no less
Great pair..
However you'll feel better knowing that it is in linen micarta instead of canvas micarta, as I know you like, because this is one of my favorite knives and it'd be very tough for me to let this one go.Yessir, both pretty sweet Laconico designs!

Haha no problem at all my friend! Yea I actually really love me some nice linen micarta. I've said it over and over but the OD green linen micarta on my Kizer Begleiter 2 is one of my favorite scale materials ever. It's got that smooth, soft feeling like have a soft, thin blanket wrapped around the handle!I hear ya!! Linen worx too!!!!

Kids have camp. Wife has work. And I have the day off with the house to myself. I have all these things I wanna do today. But I know that as soon as I’m done running errands and mowing the lawn , I’ll fall asleep on the couch and my day of peace will be over. I remember when I was young and single and I had lots of wonderful alone time. I don’t think I appreciated it back then. But I sure do now. It’s a different perspective. Just a SAK this morning.
