@Brian patterson @mmbackpacker if you could only choose only one: 6hm or 6 with tks scales- which one would pick? Thanks
I just picked one up from the sell forum and I think I might add the pslk drop point to it. Should make it even look more like the pslk.
Don't know yet. Out of the knives I have with TKC scales (izula, compact 4, 5 and 6), I think the scales might be the least transformative on the 6, but I still love them. Time will tell.
I too am torn as to which I prefer. Haven't spent enough time with the HM, but I do love how it feels. I don't have large hands, so the fact I can "choke up" on the HM without interference from a choil is nice. Not that a standard 6 gave me big trouble. It is just a feel thing right now. Use of them side by side will determine a winner.
This could be really misconstrued, especially with the twisted mind's here. But definitely appreciate the input Brian.
I didn't even know this knife existed until last weekend at BeckerWest. I ordered one right up when I got home , #0215, I can't put it down. Legit
Had the 6HM for about 10 days now. Gotta say, I love this knife. Along with the 4HM and Izula 2, I think it makes the perfect blade system. Not really a traditional sheath fan. They are well made, however. Being a south paul, it really doesn't work for me. Big fan of kydex, go figure. Waiting on a pancake from Azwelk for the 4HM, and just noticed today that He is now making them for the 6HM. Gear budget is already blown for the next month, so I will have to wait and order one for the 6HM. Ramble mode off. Cheers, BC
@Mike Perrin I didn't see any follow up on a Orange Molle Back and Pouch are you guys serious? If so are they available?
An open question for owners of the 6HM, will it fit and have decent retention in a standard Esee 6 plastic sheath? I have a spare 6 sheath and can't stand the leather sheath, if the plastic sheath is a viable option then I might have to get one
It fits, but you don't really have much if any retention. I guess you could really tighten down the clip screws and have a little more. The retention is above where the choil would be on the handle
I've had my 6 HM for about a week now and can honestly say/answer definitively that if I had to pick one knife to have in the woods this would be it. Before I would have listed 4 to 5 options. What a great woods knife this is. I look forward to beating the **** out of it for years to come.
Hands down, the -6HM is my choice. If only it were made from 1/4" metal stock, In, like CPM3V, With bead-blasted finish, Accentuate the drop point.......... A guy can dream, right?
Another words your hope'n they make an ESEE 5HM out of CPM3V! We'll your gonna have to wait till their done with the CL1HM and Junglas HM first
