I really like the ESEE-5 a lot. Is it the ESEE-5 or still RC-5? I'm confused. But it is a great very solid knife it was in my hiking pack today when i hiked.

Very cool! A good esee to start out with! I hope you enjoy it.

Sweet knife...congrats on your new blade.

Congrats. The 5 is a great blade.

Congrats on the new knife. The knife does look great, though I worry it'd be too thick of a blade for what I want/like. Will be great in any case.

Comes down to what the store has in stock. Knivesshipfree.com has both versions of the company's knives. Some old(er) RC6 stock with the ESEE6 too.

Looks very nice. Anyone know what the little circle cutout is for on the slabs? Maybe a spot to put a medallion or very small compass glued in?

Congrats on your new blade! Seeing that plastic bag brings back memories...of a few weeks ago!

It's for a bow drill.

Posts like this make me want a 5. That's the ESEE I thought I'd never buy. Tempting!

I love it, It's fun, It's bombproof, It's great for grab and go day hikes, and as a trunk knife. But it never seems to make it to my pack...

I love my RC5, looks like they may have started rounding the grips more? maybe I'm just seeing things.

It was also my first ESEE then came the Izula now I want the Junglas!

 

[Birdkiller]

It's for using as a socket with a bow drill.

The ESEE 5 is a tank. One of my favorite blades, actually.
