Something to hold me over pre Bk16

[RogueBowie]

So I am going crazy waiting for the BK16 and I just needed something to tide me over. I have been looking at ESEE's for awhile now and was always intrigued by the ESEE 4 so I was at a local gun shop that happens to sell knives and they had a desert tan ESEE 4 so I went for it.

Dang thing was SHARP! Went to test it on my arm hair, expecting to take of a tiny sliver or two, and it started mowing out a large chunk of my Italian American arm hair!!

LOVE this thing so far (don't worry my precious Beckers, you're still number one in my heart). Taking it outside tomorrow.

 

[Murphnuge]

Good buy man! No worries, lots of us here have ESEE mistresses for our Becker Wives. I'm no exception. I just love knives, though Beckers more than most.

 

[MrKnifekid]

Esee's suck.

That is all.

 

[mrn8]

Don't tell any potheads, they may try to torture it.

You'll get some good use out of that one, until the BK16 comes around.

 

[CaptinRedBeard]

Haha, I did the same thing. I needed something to scratch the itch until the tweeners are available. So I ordered a ESEE 3 MIL. It should be here later today.

Good knife, good company.

I got no issues with ESEE, actually like their knives. I own just about all of them, so, that should tell you something.

No shame is buying an ESEE. I got a 3-MIL not too long ago and I love it.

I went with the 3 over the 4 only because I wanted it to be as different as possible than the Beckers I have. With a 3 3/4ish blade and 1/8 thick it fits that bill -- very slicey.

I can't wait to see how the BK16 will compare to the ESEE 3/4.

I also broke down yesterday & got me a future project. An SOG Fusion Tactical Tomahawk. They were on sale & i could'nt beat the price. I want to find someone to make me a custom aluminum handle w/thick wall tube, yet have a removeable endcap w/firesteel. Thats gonna cost WAYY more than the tomahawk, i know, but it will be cool & functional.

I have really liked the ESEE knives from the beginning, I just cant spend the cash.
I have lusted over a clip point ESEE4 for way too long... Tweeners need to hurry and get here!

I could never warm up to the ESEE 3/4 handle. I'd be willing to try again with one of The-Knife-Connection's custom handles, though. And the handle on the BK16 is perfect just the way it is . . . or at least it was for me when I checked it out at the SHOT Show.

 

[Brad "the butcher"]

I really like my ESEE`s, my 4 in orange g-10 is a great knife even though its choiled which is usually a deal breaker for me.

Impatiently waiting for your BK-16 would be akin to TWEINER ENVY........

 

[BRL]

Love my ESEEs. More in my future fer sher.

 

[bld522]

ESEE makes excellent knives. But between ESEE and Becker, the award for best-bang-for-the-buck HAS to go to Becker. Wait until you get your hands on the Tweeners and you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

[LostViking]

I've got a batch as well, 3, 3 Mil, 3CP, 4, 5, 6, and Junglass

3 Mil and 6 are my favorites.

Their modular sheaths are nice.

I am just patiently waiting for the ESEE 4 vs BK16 reviews to start flowin in.

So Rouge, how goes the 4 for you so far?

 

[The Warrior]

Done got me an ESEE too.

 

[thrillbilly]

Done got me an ESEE too.

that's not an ESEE too. It quite clearly says ESEE 3 on it...

 

[The Warrior]

That's too, ya hillbilly, er, I mean, thrillbilly.

 

[flipaldinho]

That looks really nice! Man, now the knife-zies are welling up in my soul even more. What is the difference between a 3 and a 4?
