Hate to do this, but my care broke down and it's time for a new one to get me through school so my ESEE collection is on the chopping block. All of these knives have been used and modified to varying degrees so I'll try my best to give enough information to make an informed decision.
All prices include shipping, insurance, and fees for PayPal goods and services, so what you see is what you pay.
First is an ESEE Junglas black blade with OD/Black G10 TKC scales. It shows some coating wear in the form of smoothing, but no actual stripping that I see. The logos were lightly etched, but came out poorly. There are a couple of small rolls/chips toward the belly of the blade that I tried to show in the last picture, but they should sharpen out nicely. This has been on the wicked edge at one point in time, but could stand to be sharpened again. The handle screws have some surface rust on the heads that I'm sure would polish right off, but I just haven't used this in months so I never polished them up. Note that this does NOT come with the stock sheath or handle slabs because I bought it as just the blade and handles. The sheath it has is one I made myself that is functional but rather crude in finish. It fits though, and that's what counts. Asking $110 SOLD
Next is an ESEE 6 plain edge in black/black configuration. This one has only been used very lightly as I never got to take it into the woods to use it. All it shows is a tiny amount of coating smoothing right at the edge. This has also been sharpened on the wicked edge and polished up pretty well. I added some red liners myself to the scales. The interesting part here is the sheath. I bought it as a set with the 3S listed below and it came with a custom sheath (pictured) for the two of them. However, I am a lefty so it's set up backwards for most of the people here. The 3S piggyback portion comes off so if you just want the 6, I can include that portion of the sheath. Or if you want to buy it as a set, I'll include the whole bundle and we can work out a discounted price for that. For just the 6 with its sheath and the firesteel though, I'm asking $70 SOLD
Next is an ESEE 3S mentioned in the above post. Black/black configuration with red liners added by me. This one has only been very lightly used as well and the coating shows no discernible wear. The logos were etched lightly but didn't come out very well on the logo because I was just experimenting. I made an amateur (though functional) kydex sheath for this one so if it is sold by itself I will include that sheath with it if for nothing more than protection during shipping. As stated above though, if you'd like to work out a deal for the 3/6 combo we can work out a discount and I will include the complete setup including the piggyback sheath and firesteel if it's still here. asking $50 SOLD
Next is an ESEE Izula in orange knifeworks exclusive. It comes with black G10 TKC scales installed. A couple of the handle screws show some surface rust that will polish right of, I just haven't taken it apart to do so. This knife has been used but not abused and shows some wear marks on the finish from smoothing and the sheath. Has been sharpened on the wicked edge. All the logos were etched, and these came out very well as I was much more careful with them than the others (and it was the last knife I did). The sheath is made by me and is definitely my cleanest work to date, though still amateur. The fit is good for a belt sheath and the finish is really clean for the most part. It will include a Spyderco G-Clip. Will also include the Exotac Nanostriker XL shown in the pictures and the holder for it which I think makes an EXCELLENT all in one little kit if you want it. Asking $65 for the whole kit or $55 without the firesteel/holder.
Finally is an ESEE Candiru. This one has been heavily modified by me, but I was careful with the work. I etched the logos and some of them came out better than others. The fish and the Rowen logo look great, the other two didn't come out quite as well. Then I stripped the coating on a belt sander from everywhere but the jimping grooves and the insides of the holes in the handle area. Then I ground back the shoulders of the secondary grind to thin it out and make it slice a little better. Then I acid stonewashed the whole thing and sharpened it back up on the wicked edge. Then I slapped the ESEE orange G10 handles back on. Overall it came out pretty well IMO and it definitely cuts better without the rough coating and hard shoulder on the grind. The sheath is a Godspeed orange kydex sheath that came with it from the previous owner. For knife, sheath, and handles, asking $50

Sorry they aren't the best quality. I was losing daylight. If you need better pictures, I can try my best. Just shoot me an email.
First "I'll take it" with prompt payment gets it. PM or email works, but email will come straight to my phone so that's the most surefire way to get me. chrispy513@gmail.com for questions (but this is NOT my PP address). Thanks for looking!
