Thanks, guys!
It took me all of a good night's sleep to go from, "But that's not what I was looking/hoping for, next, and it's not TT," to, well: COME TO MAMA when the knife was still there in the morning.
Robert's pictures sure did (not) help!
I am loathe to pick one favorite pattern, but the Esquire continues to tick more boxes than most, for day to day-- small enough to carry unobtrusively, intriguing handle that gives just enough grip, beautifully proportioned blade, and massive,
massive style points. The angles of the handle end and its clearance in one of Diomedes Industries' sheaths look so wicked cool, at a glance and in closer inspection.
Thank you for grabbing that one. I was looking at it every hour and was running out of reasons not to buy it. I have a hard time staying away from Esquires. They're one of my favorite models. I have six now and still want more!
What you have quickly accomplished in the realm of Esquires is downright inspirational.
I would love to see all of them together, and hear more of your thoughts on how their different specs play out on this wee but powerful pattern. Is there an Esquire thread, yet?
I am especially eager to hear what you think of the
5/32 TT(!) you recently snagged:
I have loved the weight, balance, and extra whomp-whomp of the 5/32" TT knives i've handled, but am at a loss to project how it might feel on a knife this small! Do tell.
