HEST/F Whos collecting it, and whos gonna use it?

[a.l.hare]

#106 sterile. It will be my user/edc. I can't wait.

 

[Vermilion]

I'll EDC mine, whether it gets anymore use than opening envelopes or cutting cardboard is another thing.

 

[ESEERATFAN]

#113 will be a collection knife and will remain unused.

I have pre-ordered a regular production version and that will be my edc, at least until the Izula folder is released.

 

[Cpl Punishment]

I'm not paying that kind of money for a collectable.

I'm going to use the hell out of it.

 

[GunnerP]

I have ordered a 'standard issue' and plan to use it regularly.

No. 141 Is slated for daily use. I've carried and used my Emerson Commander virtually every day for over 8 years. I'm hoping to like the HEST just as much (hopefully more) and give it a similar run.

 

[Robocarullo]

I'm gonna beat on mine for sure that is why I ordered the regular version.

 

[ckaufman55]

Me too...until its all bus up then it'll go into the collection

The finish on the production models were specifically specced to look better with use.

I have been beating and abusing one for two months and it looks cooler than polar bear snot.

 

[myowngod]

I fully intend to beat it like a red headed step child....

 

[JUST1MOR]

Use, their tools not jewels.

:thumbup::thumbup: I have got to remember this line . . .
Be safe.

Outfreakinstanding.

Great. Now I feel like I have to get a production version as well!

 

[Heyday]

Never understood that collecting business. I will be using mine.

 

[Fuzillade]

#147 will be loved, but used and abused. I feel that you can never really like
a knife until you've used it so much that you feel naked without it.

And fondling it once in awhile, or slicing paper doesn't cut it.

I also don't have the necessary funds to be buying dust collectors here.
These knives were made to take punishment, and I just wouldn't be doing
it justice if I didn't oblige.

Exactly. I'm looking forward to scuffing mine up.

 

[PunisherLcr]

#186 will be my EDC user, and a harsh life it shall lead.

 

[RSnyder]

EDC for me. Didn't buy it to shelf or use as a paperweight.

 

[ckaufman55]

Does that mean the production coating is similar to esee's coating? Cause that deff looks cooler with use.
