This is why I don't get into the Esee and Becker back and forth either. I have better things to get myself worked up about like what shampoo to wash my balls off with, or what toenail clippers to use to clip my sheep's nails with.

Off to the quote thread with you!

Well... maybe not. I definitely get your point, though.

For the record, though, ESEE's suck. Their main claim to fame is copying Becker blades, cobbling together defiantly uncomfortable, unfinished handles on them, and talking a whole lot of smack. Oh yeah... lime green and hot pink powdercoat, there's that. Claims and reports of their steel or HT being somehow "superior" are vastly overblown at best.

There, I said it!

Hey Trade, do you have a link to plans for that cool little wood stove you built out of soup cans?
 
I miss being able to get BBC as easily as I could when I lived just across from Louisville. I need to make a point to stop in the brewery next time I'm down visiting.

Oh man... Now I have a hankering for their Bourbon Barrel Ale, but I would settle for an Amber or Bourbon Barrel Stout.

You win the internet!!

I have at one point or another tried the majority of Esee knives... Only the small Candiru i liked. The 3-4-5-6 didnt last long here. Even the izula felt like an expensive but cheaper BK14. I couldnt for the life of me figure out where all the hype comes from. I started thinking im just in the minority.

Esee knives taught me something though, they taught me that i could never solely go off of anything someone else said on the internet. Until i put my peanut butter covered fingers on a knife i learned i wouldnt know for sure if it was worth anything. People like different things and some people's hands are built differently. For instance warriors hands would dwarf mine and therefor he needs a larger handle all together, But i dont think thats whats going on with Esee either.... Maybe a little, but its hard to think thats all there is to it. Its hard for me to think some people just like uncomfortable...

A great knife needs ergonomical handles, without that it can never be more than just OK on its BEST day. No matter the steel, no matter the name on it, if its uncomfortable in the hand its pretty worthless as far as im concerned. I use knives hard. For hours at a time. If i cant use a knife for 20 minutes without it hurting my hand or just getting so uncomfortable i throw it to the side, it doesnt get to stay here with me.
 
ok so how about we discuss something interesting. . . How does one go about sharpening the chisel grind on the 3?
 
Talking about handi rifles the other day made me go out and buy one. I have been wanting a coyote gun for a while now. Hopefully this does the trick.

The only ESEE I have tried is the Zancudo, and it seems to be a decent folder at a reasonable price. I've not tried any of the fixed blade knives, although I have contemplated a Junglas solely on Ethan's joking comment in a certain video done during one of their courses I believe. :D
