NEW ESEE Goodness

[actionshooter38]

I finally took some pics of my new ESEE knives. I chose for my first an RC4 with Orange handle, with the molle back and survival pouch. I filled the tin with some goodies that I can always have with me.
The tin contains:3'x3' heavy aluminum foil, signal mirror, pencil, large eye needle, 2 sheets of note paper, magnifying lens, diamond hone, Streamlight micro light, whistle, TAD spark-lite with nylon thread wrap and needle under shrink wrap, spare flints, 2 aqua tabs, spark-lite tinder, 50' heavy duty nylon thread,fishing kit(small hooks, splitshot,small jig, snap swivel), 20mm button compass, all held closed by 2 ranger bands. I also have a small roll of duct tape in the bottom of the pouch and some safety pins on the outside.
Finally I have my new Izula wrapped in a combo of orange and OD para cord with a neat little tritium bead on the end. i hope to get a lot of use out of these this summer and for years to come. Please enjoy the pics.

I like that wrap on the Izula.

Pouch come with it or did you add it

The puches are not made to fit the RC-4 but can be made to fit. That's a really nice survival setup on this rig. That's about all we allow our students during the woodland course.

Nice looking knives and gear you got.

The pouch is a separate purchase from ESEE, it is made for the RC5 or 6. It takes a little work to make it fit but it isn't too much trouble. I really like how compact it all is.

There is another post for show me your cord wrapped Izulas, one of the posters there had a tutorial on how to do it. I also found it to be one of the better looking wraps.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, but I saw it here first as well. It was one of the deciding factors in purchasing my RC4.

Really nice setup. Looks like you scavenged some components from a Ritter pocket survival pack:thumbup:

Great Setup.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the intended use of the Al foil?

It can be used to make vessels to boil water, cook food, use as a cup, use as a signal if needed, etc.

 

[thebestnoobcake]

Ah right. I thought that it was for a particular purpose.
I guess it makes sense that you would want everything you carry around to be as useful as possible.

Also a small piece of aluminum foil wrapped around a hook makes a great improv fishing lure. It's like duct tape, only limited by your imagination.

Great little kit!

The 4 was my first and probably still my favorite ESEE blade. Just a great, universal little knife.
