What is missing in ESEE's product line?

I would like to see a 7'' to 8'' blade with a taper to it. Just a small amount of taper so you have more blade weight up front for a little better chopping. I do not want some crazy curve in the blade, just keep it straight so it's easier to sharpen. Something like this knife here. You can see the slight taper in the blade towards the handle.



 
I'm thinking not so much about new products but new ways of attaching them to us/our gear.So0me kind of fast attach MOLLE clips for the sheaths instead of the screw and barrel nut configuration.
Or maybe a sheath system similar to the spec-ops survival line.Just ESEE-ized.Spots for the striker and maybe the AH-1.
 
A survival bowl. I don't know if Aluminum is better or some kind of tempered steel, as it could double as a light weight emergency shovel.

Something about 9" diameter, and 3" deep, not quite a total bowl, but enough volume to boil water in and have it be worth the effort afterward.

They have the gambit of functional knives in the product line already IMO, the Junglas completed it.
 
Ya know what? Bring back the TAK-1. Great handle, good blade length and width... it'd offer the full grip the 4 doesn't have, a slightly longer blade, and a little thinner for the people looking for a 5 incher. Sweet survival knife.

Excellent. www.goinggear.com had a bowl and portable grill on their website that I wanted but they arent there anymore. You would put wood/coal whatever in the bowl and put the gill over it. The grill was so sweet because you put the 4 legs and each of the grates (? dont know if thats the right name for them) into the two hollow end pieces for storage.
 
Add another vote for:

1) A 4 mil.
2) Aftermarket handle options, both material and thickness - just a series of 3 or 4 to
accommodate different hand sizes.
3) A multi-tool. IIRC this was mentioned in a thread a while back. It would be great to
get an update.


I'm also going to go off the board for some TransEq swag.
 
OK, I'll withdraw my 'Toaster' comment mentioned a few pages back (sarcasm)..

I'd love to see a fixed 4" blade similar to the 3mil but narrower that is susceptible to the elements such as salt water.... Can be used to clean fish, go sailing, diving etc.. Have vibrant colored handles, yellow, orange and regular color options..

I'd buy this in a minute from ESEE.. In the mean time I guess I'll have to accept an Aqua Salt:D
 
I love the Esee 5 as it is but haven't bought one because i have two Camillus Becker BK-2's.
However an ESEE-5 in FFG would likely force me to purchase one! lol.

Would love a regular line ESEE 3 and 4 with no-choils in scandi grind.
I know its an Ontario product but the Rat-1 folder is awesome, would love to see it in a revised version with a flipper function (i'm not a fan of button openers).
 
I want to throw in also for a 4-MIL. Offered in black and OD, with the black screws and the green canvas micarta. That'd be the next knife I bought if they offered it.
