Sweet 6 may have to pick one up having just acquired a 5 to do a comparison between them. Thanks,

What happened to the handle scales? I'd like to strip my 5's blade someday. I see where some use a ferric chloride for the etching method before stripping.

I just picked up an old one like this with the skull and knives in excellent unused condition. I gifted one just like it to a buddy at deer camp and recently replaced it with another. They do come with a great sheath as well. Congrats,

I recently acquired one myself. It's the green model with the standard handle scales. Those scales look comfy may have to pick up a set from the KC store.

Man, I have medium-sized hands. And, for me, the standard "5" scales are quite robust and functional. (*albeit a bit "blocky" for my d!ck-be@ters) However, the ESEE "3D scales", man they're on a completely different level in my humble opinion.

If you opt to go with some TKC scales for your new 5, I KNOW you won't be disappointed. (*I have 'em on a few of my Beckers..."2", "7", and "9"...and couldn't be happier with 'em)

Unpossible!!!


A 1/4-inch pry bar simply won't cut or make curls.

Love that old school 5 and the great pics of your outing and uses you put it through. I just acquired a model 5 myself although it's still a virgin. Thanks for sharing.

I bought an ESEE-5 a long time ago, but felt that it was too big and bulky at the time. Stopped by a local recruiting office, handed it to the recruiter and asked them to get it to a soldier who could use it. Hopefully, they gave it to someone who needed it.
