Anyone else think a 3/16 inch thick 5 inch blade length izula would be awesome:thumbup:
Same shape and grind just longer and thicker and maybe wider blade
I dont like choils and esee 5 is too thick and heavy
Non skeletonized

I laughed at the thread title.

In other words, a skeleton/skeletonized ESEE-5? It would be such a heavy knife to be skeleltonized :eek:

I'd buy it if the price was right.
 
I think he's mostly referring to the shape and no choil. I submitted a similar design in that thread some time ago.

I'd love to see a 5 inch ESEE with no choil and not quite as thick or heavy as the ESEE-5.

Two thumbs up from me! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love that blade shape. I'd like to see one, but I'd keep the pinkie ring on the end of the handle. :thumbup:

Whoops, you're right. No choil and not as thick.
Good design there :thumbup:
 
Thanks guys. I would change a couple of things now that some time has past since I first drew it up. I'd eliminate the hollow handle and pry pommel (leave those things to RYP's designs!) and I'd make it 3/16 thick, not a 1/4 inch.

But I like that shape, very simple and very functional, just like the Izula! :thumbup:
 
If you had the girth of a 5 as a neck knife... I think chiropractors would start to love ESEE... ;)
 
Cant see joes picture but I was thinking of a non skeletonized version like the rest of the esee/rats and with Canvas Micarta

By the way how do esee knives look without scales? I assume they arent skeletonized

You would be correct. They just have holes drilled for the scales to be attached and the lanyard hole at the end.
 
I've always thought an 5 inch choilless ESEE with a thinner blade would be awesome too. For me, a 5 inch blade is just about perfect for an all around woods bumming blade but the RC 5 is just too massive to carry around all the time IMO.

Yes, I would buy this. I've wanted a 5" blade that is thinner and with a more comfortable handle than the ESEE 5. This knife would be perfect at 3/16" and the design looks really functional. I'll take it! :thumbup:

I would jump on something like this so quick I'd be a "blur"..... :thumbup: :D

In addition, I would also go for one like that with a rounded off handle, left the same length... just rounded off with a thong hole added; and a 3.5 - 3.75 inch blade..... a bit thinner than .250 though. :)
I'd be a "double blur" on this one.... light speed. ;)

Both of those would be sweet... as are the rest of the ESEE's... and would make a nice addition to the line, and/or alternative for those who dislike the choil. :thumbup:

Just an opinion, nothing more......... ;)
