The "Throwing Knives" we are giving away

Those poor poor knives. At least they'll get a good home now.

That HEST looks like it needs a beer and I'm an expert in that form of rehab if you need consultation.

The HEST is mine, I called it. Pbbbbbttss!:p

:D

Definetly throw. Very little wear anywhere else. Just as a guess, anyone wanna guess why there is wear along the spine in the same spot on all 3?:D

Simple. Knife rotating a little too much before hitting the tree so the tip and spine are what end up sticking in the tree.

Charlie? Charlie? Man, where the hell you at? OH, off with her again, well, crap, I guess you don't get anything, til Charlie gets back.

One thing for sure is these knives have been thrown a LOT. I would guess that is all they have been used for since the factory edge is still on all 3 of them and hardly any signs of being touched up with a hone.

Of course, how do you thing Randall's Adventure Training got started? :D

"Surviving outside while the wife Is Pissed" < should be a new slogan.... Or at least a "Knife avoidance" class...

I guess most of the edge is just like it was out of the box? Except the tip and the handle he might not have really used his blades ;)

€dit: Jeff was faster than me on that:cool:

Since this is an essay contest, I'll begin.

So I had a poor long lost uncle that the family hadn't seen in years, until one day we got a call from the state police in Florida asking us to come and get him.

Apparently he had been lost in the wilderness for weeks and was found by the Epcot Center maintenance staff in a landscaped berm of trees and vegetation. He was nearly starved to death.

What the police could tell us is that while he was lost in the landscaping berm near the food court, though there was plenty of food to be had, he didn't have a knife on him so he was unable to open or cut any of the food into bite sized portions. When he was discovered he was almost crushed under the weight of pre-packaged foods that the tourist hoardes had been tossing to him.

To make things even worse, he was also severely dehydrated. It seems the helpful tourists trying to have concern for his health had only been tossing him Mexican Coke bottles. The ones with only pure cane sugar and not that horrible corn syrup. The only trouble is that my poor uncle not only didn't have a knife, but he didn't have a bottle opener either. Surrounded by beverages but without any way to open them. A true horror.

So as if that wasn't bad enough, he did make it into the hospital for treatment...where they discovered he had a rare sort of botfly infestation. According to the doctors his system was just completely overrun by the botfly larvae and had he only had a knife, he could have simply cut them all out.

Once in the hospital friends and family started sending him gifts. Among the gifts were lottery tickets. Well, when the lottery numbers were announced on TV...his TV was on the wrong channel. He called and called for the nurse but they never came. In a fit of delusional rage, he ate all his tickets....he very well may have won but we will never know now. If he only had a knife, he could have thrown it to change the channel.

Unfortunately this was the last bit of energy his system could muster and he passed...knifeless.

If I got this HEST I would keep it close as a memorial testament to my poor unfortunate uncle, a victim of a landscaped berm in Epcot center....he lived a great life...for a knifeless bastard.

I almost forgot a totally unrelated visual for some emotional impact

There is a possibility that the events as I've recalled them may be somewhat inaccurate. These are only recollections to the best of my ability under conditions of extreme duress.

My wife rescues any and all animals. I feel the benevolent side of me willing to give a good home to wayward and unloved knives. I'm in for whatever the mods come up with.

I may have to break out my a$$hole tire cutting story. That one's already won me two contests at BFC. :D
 
I bet the whiskers from the steel belts chafe a bit - unless you're using plenty of ESEE hot sauce for lube...
 
Anyone who throws a knife that is not meant to be thrown, ie the entire ESEE line, deserves to have the blade bounce back and hit them square in the face.

I mean come on people. how hard is it to buy a $20 set of beater throwers off of ebay? Keep your ESEE knives for what they were designed for. Throw knives that were meant to be thrown. Its that simple.
 
Other than slightly blunted tips, I don't see anything about those knives that needs warranty work, or is anything to complain about from the user.

In other words, he gave up 3 perfectly good knives for a temper tantrum?

I'd say after looking at the knives most of his work was throwing knives instead of bushcraft.

Those edges look like factory original. There's more wear on the spines of those knives than on the blades!

Maybe he was using the wrong side of the knife to cut with, and that's why he thinks ESEE knives suck? :confused:

Hey, that's another great reason for people to buy the clip-point ESEE's!
