Recent Aquisitions of a new-found ESEE Addict

[hammerface]

Well - I got my first ESST (the HEST) about a month ago and have since dyed the handles a deep orange using Tangering RIT dye for about 45-60 minutes - that and sliced myself with it f'n around with the sheath.. Here's the rest that I have purchased so far. I haven't used any of them yet but I still love 'em. Can't WAIT to get outside and try some of these out.

The 3P-CP and 3P I just got in today and I want to try swapping the handles. I also just got the 5P in today as well (with 6 handles on it) that came with the Eagle nylon sheath which is pretty cool - I may dye the handles and try giving them some texture or having my Dad (who has a laser engraving company) attempt to put a patterned texture on the scales... I can't believe how much of a BEAST that thing is... crazy. I think I like the feel of the 6S-CP in hand better with the choil and overall weight but the sheer mass and brutal feel of the 5 is definitely confidence inspiring. Don't have a favorite... yet.

I have an AH1 too but it's tucked away in my survival tin. Thanks ESEE - you guys make awesome stuff!! Sorry 'bout the crappy pics...

very nice collection going. i really like the canvas scales from the 3mil on the green blade 3 and of course the orange on the black is very cool.

congrats

Looking good. I really like how the handles on the hest came out. I have that same model 3-mil & i really like it

I know - that's why I bought 2 3Ps so I could swap the orange g10 onto the black blade. I have to admit, I am liking the orange/green combo much better than I thought I would. And the black blade with canvas micarta is feels great in hand and matches my khaki maxpedition really nicely... I had intended of swapping the handles to make "mine" and then selling the other one but I may end up keeping both..... damn you ESEE....

Up until discovering ESEE I was only really into folders and balis....

I seriously gotta get going on my collection! The big ones do look tough. The HEST looks great. I had one ordered but cancelled since they didn't really have them in stock.
