I wasn't sure where to post this, so Mods, please move it if there is a better area. One of the things that continues to draw me to ESEE products is the "Added Value" they bring with them. Any company can sell you a knife. Some can even sell you extremely goos knives. But ESEE takes the time to dig deeper. I have photographed training and other Bushcrafty type sequences. Doing the actual work is complicated by the filming ten fold. Downloading, uploading, editing, signal to noise ration all takes time. Whether it's Patrick showing several different fire lays that many people may not be familiar with. Or any of the other tutorials they have available. This one in particular struck me as definitely value added. There is so much going on here it isn't even funny. First off, ESEE's willingness to share the names of Russell and Andy speaks volumes of their support of the knife industry. I own both Cohutta and Fiddleback knives, I can say with some certainty, they are superb offerings. They not only look spectacular, they work in real world setting. But the real story here is the sharpener. Simply genius!! It is said that anyone can make things more complicated. It takes real talent to make things simpler. This tool and method offers a simple solution to a complicated problem. I can see where building several of these out of differing grits would take your blades to the sharpest you could ever need. Plus, it would work well for almost any knife enthusiast. Not everyone has a shop or dedicated knife sharpening area. These can be taken out of a closet and clamped to almost any kitchen counter. Easy set up, easy takedown, easy storing. I don't do Facebook, and rarely skim Instagram. So the knowledge provided here is invaluable. I may bust balls here, but make no mistake, I take this place very seriously. Tips like this are part of the reason. Simple solutions , Offered up by real people! Thanks guys! LV,
I can see how that sharpener would be very efficient. On a larger blade, like a machete, that would be absolutely fantastic and give great control and an even edge. Definitely a "why didn't I think of that."
