What is missing in ESEE's product line?

[adaman04]

4MIL and I'll come back in and say 3/16" thick ESEE-5 with a rounded pommel and a choil. Full flat grind.

Most of all, a bushcraft blade. Something along the lines of the Bark River Aurora.

What knife is that?

He is a maker who will sometimes put knives up for sale on ebay. He does GREAT work. That knife is O1 and heat treat by Paul Bos. Here is the other picture of the knife, actually it was a set with a smaller piggy back knife included, also O1. The set sold for $195.

What knife is that?

Here are a few others he has made if you're interested. I don't think I have ever seen him post a knife over $225 and that was the buy it now deal. All are either O1 or 1095 steel.

+++ On ESEE-5 (Slim Frame) w/.188 thick, Full Flat Grind, Kydex! Also a hatchet would be of course welcomed.. I would prefer the whole thing rather than just a head...uhhhh how about making offering all blade colors and scale/handle options for all models? More colors in G-10?

 

[TXKnives]

Forgot to mention a choil on above thinner ESEE-5.. sorry guys I use the choils on my ESEE-3 and ESEE-6!

Heres is an afterthought...I'd like to see divots for a bow-drill on other models.

I would say that considering the companies mindset of top line, rugged, practical, tactical, efficient, clip point survival style blades, and the conture of their micarta scales,; it would make sense to at least start with a bowie point ESEE 4, and 6. i would also like to see an ESEE 3 and 4 specificaly for hunters, and fishers. maybe featuring a deeper, finger choil, and a more aggressive drop point.

just food for thought, at least i think it would be cool!

I would like a watchcap with patch logo. I know knife stuff, but you all woud get one for winter. Not Fleece tho, unless it was fitted I can't stand the reservoir tip. Oh and maybe a small classic pocket knife, another to pass down. Thanks and I love my 4 and IZULA.

How about a 5-6" chef style knife in 3/16 "? And a seax style knife in the 13-18" range?

 

[Don Rearic]

"Tin" for a survival kit, same footprint as the classic British Tobacco Tin like you can get from Penrith or BCB but one inch deeper/thicker. Stainless Steel would be excellent if not cost prohibitive.

 

[s7brad]

A slippie would be cool. And more logo merchandise for sure.

+1 a slipjoint ESEE folder would be great

 

[hoopster]

It may have already been mentioned but I'd like to see a Stainless, uncoated Izula. Maybe in S30V.

 

[Don Rearic]

That would be an awesome thing, yes.

 

[civa]

A can/bottle opener!

 

[JGON]

If they could just start making a survival tooth brush I'd feel their line is complete.

I don't think anything is missing from their line. I think their knives have most situations pretty well covered.

Definitely!

If you come out the other side of the handle when drilling the divot, you’ve gone too far. If you’re holding it while you drill it and come out the other side of your hand, you’ve definitely gone too far.
