esee5 review chat!!!

oh man! i thought i'd have a bit longer... i sgould be healed up enough to handle a review. can't wait!
 
I'm off on the timeframe, I don't even know what week of the pass around we're in now.

Messer should have the knife and it should have already been shipped out to Otis? I thought the whole deal was to keep eachother in the loop of where it was. Please, not again!

ETA, I shot Messer an quick email just checking on status. I'm sure he'll post here or I'll hear back soon.

I made the decision to get the 5 based on the review that I read here. I knew I wanted a 4 or 5 but decided that the 5 fills a void that I have in my military kit. (I have an Izula that I have on my military gear)

SJ - you did some great testing with it and you convinced me that this was tougher than nails. I don't know what else you could have done. It was very thorough. Thanks.

Adam04 - your size comparisons really helped me understand the size difference not only in overall length but the girth and blade width. Personally I passed on a 6 because I have a BK7 and felt like the BK7 filled the spot well and it was gifted to me so it stays in the arsenal. :) I liked how you strapped it to the H20 pouch. You could fill the small pocket with an small space blanket, fire kit, first aid, etc and hit the trail for a day hike or make it a PSK.

Caine - I like the way for used the paracord wrap and using the clip upside down. I may put this on my IBA this way. I'll have to try it.

Thanks to all for the great work. This soldier appreciates it! :thumbup:

thanks dude. really appreciate yr response. and yr service!
yeah im definitely gonna be the owner of an esee5 sometime soon. my pops n oldest brother(my hunting, fishing, hiking, camping gurus during my formative yrs) were of the "smaller is better" school of knives. and i sorta followed in their footsteps over the years. but the past few i have really begun to appreciate and enjoy the use of larger knives
 
Sorry guys if I missed that I was supposed to post when I received it or if I have had it too long. It is totally my fault but I forgot all about the pass around until it got here!! I do have it, I have started my prelim in the evenings but I worked 70 hours last week including 40 hours over the weekend and got a new Brittany Spaniel puppy so my world has turned upside down! I have this weekend off so planned to do some stuff in the daylight outside.

To add problems...on my day off today my internet has been down all day so I went in to work to check on another post I sent and saw this at the top of the page.

Sorry Tony and others if I messed up. I'll post something this weekend.

naah - it's the survivor thing.
last reviewer standing gets the knife -- Adam's just trying to whittle down the competition early...
 
I always said if I got voted off Survivor, instead of letting Jeff extinguish my torch I would mix it up and throw the lit torch into the set of grass huts. I’d get some publicity if I don’t get the prize money.

Life happens, things pop up. The agony of reading all of Tony’s 7 rules was almost more than I could bear. :D Oh and you’re right GD, I have lost my mind over the last month or so.

:eek:

survivor must have been STRESSFUL
 
Yeah the competitions were cake and I obtained my own food, water and fire within the first 30 minutes there. The hard part was keeping all the scantily clad chicks off me. I’m a married man for Pete’s sake!
 
People tell me that all the time right after they tell me how awesome and ruggedly handsome I am. :D
