The title says it all :thumbup:

Doesn't Tiny have a hard-on for BM? He might be able to help you.

 

[Ban]

Where the hell is Tiny when you need him

 

[MRpink]

Think I may just order the ESEE/DPx HEST...

 

[Ban]

That is pretty darn nice. Looks nice and sturdy. :thumbup: I still want the benchmade gaucho in M4

 

[Tiny86]

I r here. I has a chub for BM, tis true. I'll snoop round for a goucho.

Wee tell me about that folder!! I do like the looks of it.

 

[MRpink]

hahah, it's a collaboration between ESEE Knives (formerly Rat Cutlery) and DPx.

It's manufactured by Lion Steel, who makes that SR-1 folder (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=787717) that's supposed to be really good. The HEST gets all the SR-1 features, but at ~$175 vs ~$400.

Also, no questions asked warranty by ESEE.

Ware did you order yours from?? I think I just might get one.

 

[norcalblacktail]

Me too...Whats the blade finish?

 

[Ban]

Hey man! You guys are all hi-jacking my M4 folder thread JK!

You guys are tempting me to spend more money on another folder. I am gonna be pissed at ya'll if I end up buying one

 

[Tiny86]

Mooohahahahah. About the folder, you want new or used?

 

[Ban]

Mooohahahahah. About the folder, you want new or used?

I would prefer used because I am gonna regrind it anyway. But new is fine as well. I would also prefer plain edge if given a choice.

 

[Tiny86]

Figured you would regrind it. I'll see if I can dig something up for you.

 

[Ban]

Screw it! I just broke down and ordered a Spyderco Gayle Bradley Folder in M4. Not exactly a EDC knife but it is M4 that is HT'd harder than the Benchmade stuff. I really dig the the osborne design and axis lock though:thumbup:

Gonna use the GB Spyderco as my work knife and still carry my Pikal as a EDC. It should be sick when I am done sharpening it :thumbup: I am gonna cut circles around you guys with your new heavy duty frame lock HEST folders

 

[Tiny86]

Thanks I saw that one but didn't jump because I was waiting on a plain edge version. Does anyone know the original going price?

 

[BushcraftBrainTrust]

Does anyone know the original going price?
