Hi there.
I recently received a OD/Orange ESEE 3 with swinkels kydex, and its a lovely knife. Seeing as how I can't leave stuff alone I've made some minor adjustments to the knife, and now I require a little bit of help.
first mod was to remove the scales and strip it. That was done easy enough and now I plan on putting a patina on. The other mod I did was to add black liners to the orange G10 handles. I'm happy with the results of this work, but unfortunately when I was reinstalling the handle scales I twisted a little bit too much on the middle screw and stripped the female piece that sits in the handles.
Is there a way I can get replacement screws that are a touch longer or maybe even phillips/flat head instead of allens?
Also I have a bushcraft related question.
Do you bushy blokes have any use for the glass breaker pommel in the bush? I'm thinking of flattening it like the other ESEE 3 pommels I've seen, and was wondering if it would have any adverse affects other than not being able to use it as a skull crusher or window breaker (keeping in mind it is illegal to edc a fixed blade here so windows and skulls won't be a problem).
I think thats all.
I'll take some photo's of the knife in action at a later date, and put them into the ESEE mods thread.
Thanks all
