My 4. I own a lot of knive but only 2 ESEE's. Honestly I could sale most of what I have and live with the 4 and Izzy.
I have the compact scales on my 4 and like them more than the original TKC scales. I like the length of the original TKC scales, but they felt a little blocky to me. The compact scales are shorter, but feel thicker and more rounded in the palmswell, so they feel more comfortable to me.
Palm swell taper same top and bottom if thats what you mean. Haven't 'handled' TKC but dhunley's appear to have a little less taper running on aft of maximum swell - which MIGHT give slightly LESS grip to the swell. Main diff of course is G10 vs LMF Joe's Canvas Micartas. Y'er one or the other on that.
Just had to take the scales down on the 4HM. Thank you SEMO for the gentle push. Took me awhile but it feels great in the hand.
Dang, I was only kidding about the spear point sharpening, but that looks nice! ESEE should make more spear point knives! Great job!
