ESEE Product Suggestion - Opinions?

[Dishonor39]

Hey I was just wanting to get some input on what you guys thought of a keychain tool that basically was a dedicated striker for the ESEE fire starter and was also a tool that had an Allen head tool on it in case you had to take apart your ESEE in the field for whatever reason. I know I would buy one, what do you guys think? Had a few design ideas in mind but I'm not entirely sure how to post them. Just wanted some input to see if I'm a fool for thinking it would prove useful. Maybe a cord cutter style shape, that way it could be used for cord / webbing cutting, as well as a dedicated striker.

they make allen wrenches with looped ends. file the middle of the wrench down to an edge for a striker and put in on your key chain.

Or, just put a srtiker and a looped allen on your key chain.

~$2.00 and you are set.

I understand that the desired effects could be achieved through other means, just thought it would be cool to have an ESEE product made as such. Figured if they made the AH-1 than maybe producing something of the sort wouldnt be impossible. Could also be packaged with the fire starter perhaps, but I totally see your point. Currently I use a Gerber Shard as my striker and just carry an allen bit that I use with my multi-tool.

It'd be great. I can see it now......

Last thing I know, I'm at this awesome party with hot women and a great top shelf bar. I'm hitting the long islands a little too hard, make a pass on the wrong guys girlfriend, and suddenly I'm blacked out at the end of a fist.

When I come to I'm in the middle of some remote section of woods. all I have is one shoe, my underwear, and luckily my jacket with my RC3 and ESEE combotool in it. I use the combotool to open a beer I'd stashed in my jacket, and ponder what to do. Then it dawns on me! I use the combotool to take the scales off my RC3!!!! Jeff pops his head around the corner of a tree to yell at me "You're going to strip those screws you idiot!!!" I then offer him the rest of my beer to lead me the hell outta there.

Dishonor,

Interesting idea. I'm curious why you'd be taking the slabs off your knife out in the woods. Seems like a good way to loose an important part of one of man's most useful tools. If you need a dedicated striker I'd strongly recommend the one firesteel.com sells. It does an excellent job for very little money. My only regret with mine is that I didn't get 2 more to put in additional kits for redundancy.

God bless,
Adam

Maybe something with the allen wrench, a strap cutter like you mentioned, and an integral snap hook to attach to your keys/belt/belt loop?
Or you could make it a nifty little kydex sheath too, that would have holes drilled to attach it to your ESEE's sheath
I'd buy 1, or two, or three, or four or-how many ESEE knives do I have now?

While he's leading you out you can ask him how long it'll take to ship you a new set now that you lost the screws you were reinstalling when he startled you.

God bless,

PS: I almost forgot, LOL!

I was more or less thinking to tighten then if they became lose. Only reason I could see to remove them is if water got between the slab and tang, and began to freeze really. However that is unlikely due to the liners and what have you. Apparently it is shaping up to not be a worthy idea - which is what I was wondering. Having a bottle opener on it would be sweet as well, not sure how I overlooked that. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Get a HEST Fixed blade, it sounds like everything you want... except a striker... but modify the spine and you got that too...

Diz that would also be a good opportunity to show Jeff how well you can throw that rc-3.
