All ESEE Knives will now ship with only the ESEE knives logo on them. No more camplore. No more RAT logo. ESEE 5 and laserstrike as an example for the RAT logo.
Yes. Been shipping this way since mid January on most of them. Also, no more uncoated blades (except for stainless). Anything that was previously uncoated now has a black oxide finish.
Actually we discontinued the uncoated knives except for CampLore series. I've got a sample of an ESEE-4 with black oxide. Not sure if we're going to do it yet on the 3/4 line. With that said, sometime in the near future Shane is going to be giving that sample away on our Facebook page. It's the only one in existence right now.
Well, it was either give it to you or Shane and since Shane was the only one here last Saturday, he got it.
I will just mail them out at the same time....be sure to be standing next to your mail box this time tomorrow...just keep waiting...it will show....lol
I personally like the black oxide 3 and 4 better than any coating or lack of coating we've made in the past.
The man’s second post...and he knocks it out of the park! I would be in for purchase of a four with this coating. Even with extra cost. Let’s say, a limited run of two...one for @Strigidae and one for me.
I like it a lot more than the coating. The coating is nice for protection, but it also adds thickness, which I'm assuming the black oxide doesn't.
