Tea with the hobostove from my Kellykettle.
Esee 6 for wood processing... My coating is flaking on one side of the blade?!
Lit a featherstick with my ferrorod an transferred that to the stove to light it.
Practicing a little because it's not always running as nice as I'd like when cooking on it.
This time was pretty ok

I have a new ESEE 4 that I've not used yet. It's with me tonight on the tractor.

Hey mate where the coating is chipping off, is it rusty or have any sign of rust? I have stripped older ESEEs that looked fine and the steel underneath the coating was showing signs of rust. I was just wondering why it's chipping rather then wearing back.

The previous owner left it outside in the rain for a while. So rust might be a cause, allthough it doent look rusty to me.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the coating as you use it in the future.

I lean towards G10 on my ESEE's I'm always impressed with the grip when cutting out meat and it cleans ups nicely afterwards.

Hey John it looks hot and dry in the background. That ESEE 6 looks great too mate.

I've yet to buy an esee. I want a 5 because everyone calls it a sharpened pry bar.

I have an ESEE 5 and I was surprised how well it works as a useful knife for general cutting, after reading about it being a "pry bar'. I've skinned animals, cut rope etc, cut vegetables and meat no worries. I haven't ever done anything with wood though. It's a great knife and one of my favourites .

I have a 5 but have not used it much. Not because it seems "too thick". Just have not gotten around to it yet.

I have always been curious why they chose just that one model to be the odd one out. Were they just wanting a model that stands out as possible being a more stout chopper. I have never seen any discussion why just the one is thicker (as far as I know).

I will admit though, it is a very nice sharpened pry-bar.
