As lovely young Heather shows us the latest Esee 5 I missed due to my hesitation and pantie wetting fear of my wife. Beautiful, isnt it?
TTT for the king of ESEEs. I was digging through old pictures on my computer and ran across a screenshot of a picture that used to be on the ESEE website that is the one that convinced me to buy a 5 for my second ESEE. Don't know what it was that spoke to me, but the 5 is a great knife.
It’s been a few years, but I did the whole etch job and gun blue on the logos. I’ll buy anything orange. lol. I actually had this one stored away for 5 years. Planning to start working with it more.
Got a Esee5 for Christmas .Had to wrap it and put it under the tree. It has the new logo but it will do!
Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. I’ve got midnight tiger TKC scales, by far my favorite color especially with a stripped and patina’d blade. Also filed in a choil today at the same time I added the one to my Junglas. This knife went from being more of a novelty purchase in 2015 to becoming my favorite midsize fixed blade. It’s done tons of fire prep, fatwood harvesting, along with deer and squirrel cleaning. I slowly gained an appreciation from @Se7eN and @Bushman5 for thick knives!
I can definitely believe that! I’m still kick’n myself that I didn’t get midnight tiger Laserstrike TKC scales over the black with orange liner ones I bought. I keep thinking about posting them for trade for midnight tiger or sell them to get a set.
Thanks! It gets bashed through quite a bit of different vegetation at work and in the woods on my free time so it’s built up a cool patina. I also still tend to dunk it in white vinegar every so often.
Well said! I went quite some time where my 5 was more of a novelty I hardly used and I almost sold it when I parted ways with my 6-cp and 3’s. Glad I didn’t, I think I just had too many knives and was distracted from giving the 5 it’s due chance in the woods and swamps. It’s such a capable all around blade, especially after thinning the edge a bit and convexing it. I think adding the choil to mine will also help with doing “small knife” stuff.
