Can anyone tell me why the esee 5 doesnt have a date stamp under the handle like the 6 and the 3 that I have do? Kinda curious.
I would love a 5HM… my Battlehorse Knives Highlander is pretty close- about the same size, saber grind, it would be great!
Mine came with the 3d micarta esee scales. I put those on my 6 and bought new/old orange ones from esee that I like much much more for my 5. I think it looks better with the orange ones you had on it. But that's my opinion. Go with what feels more comfortable to you.
