Hey folks, Does anyone have an ESEE 3HM sitting around that they are considering parting with? Happy to take a look at any used/abused options, as it'll be a user for me. Thanks!
I've been watching this one, hoping you got more offers than you wanted. I would really like to try one of these out, because the reviews are so glowing. My first ESEE was the ESEE 4 and for me it was a "big knife". I have and use machetes, but I don't think of them more as trail cleaning tools than camp/hike/motorcycle touring tools. My first backpacking knives started very small and grew to about the 2.5 in size. More recently I started with the ESEE 4 and went down to the Izula. Size wise the Xancudo seems ideal, but I just love the feel of the ESEE 4 3D scales. At times now I actually see the need for the ESEE 4 size. My last backpacking trip I carried the ESEE 3 but I have a good collection now and it's getting hard to pick only one. I keep saying I have enough knives, but an ESEE 3HM would be very hard to resist, near impossible if they came out with 3D scales for them...
I waited forever for a 4HM to come available, but I finally caved in and bought a new one. I’d like a 3HM as well.
