    Coating was flaking on my Esee 6, this bothered me a bit, so time to remove it completely.

    Covered the knife in paint stripper

    Wrapped it in plastic and waited 2 hours
    [​IMG]

    Scraped it of

    Good enough for now

    Some timy spots of coating remaining, so wil repeat it at a later time

    Maybe make the spine at a sharper 90 degree and apply a appelcider vinegar too while working on it :D

    Me neither.
    Normal wear just ads character to a knife imho, but this just looked wrong... That's why I removed it.

    Coffee this morning with the Kelly Kettle and the Esee 6 while walking the dog :D

    Fill the base of the kettle with curls to get the fire going

    Then light a featherstick with the ferrorod to us as a 'match' to light it all up.

    Good times! I really dig those handle scales. Seriously considering a set for one of my 6es.

    I was sharpening the 6 and was having a hard time getting the edge even. Looks like I got too gnarly with it at some point and put a wave in the blade a couple inches from the finger choil. 67B9682F-74E3-4523-8328-9022ACC153A3.jpeg C062B4D7-EA96-4EEE-92A7-B16BD99CE720.jpeg F7010D34-A5FC-41A1-8817-8A0B564E6159.jpeg

    Yes. It takes more effort to sharpen the wave though.

    Dmt bench stones usually. The blade isn’t flat anymore in that spot to use a bench stone. I use the spyderco sharpmaker triangle stones like a file on the bent part of the edge now
