I got my new ESEE-4 last week. What a great knife, it will certainly take the place of my SOG TOMCAT for my camping knife. I did put a little bit of a spacer in-between the scales. I used bicycle inner tube, it is amazing how much difference 1/8" makes. I also used a dremmel tool to etch some grooves in the case where my thumb presses to get the knife out. Also I used my Lansky to hone a 20* razor sharp blade. My best friend boondoggled the lanyards from parachute cord.
