I've always wanted to try a bushcraft style leather sheath but wasnt willing to pay what most of them cost. I just got it but it seems very well made. Ebay seller |

Everytime I go to the knife-connection website I keep seeing the "on hand" quantities dropping. I blame all of you.
 ETA: I'm REALLY torn on the 3 and 4. I like the size of the 3, but for mainly a hiking/camping knife, I like that the 4 has a larger blade. I keep making up my mind then re-thinking it.

I've seen several reviews of his kydex and never heard of 1 complaint. This is his ebay link. He also sells on various blade forums. Azwelke |

If i had to pick just 1 i would go with the 4, especially for a hiking/camping knife. The 4 isnt so much bigger that it will feel different carrying, but when you need it i think the little extra length can help out a lot. The trade off is very worth it in my eyes. |

I have had the 3 for a while now and I just received the 4 in the mail today. If your going to be using it for camping and things of that nature Id say go with the 4. It is a little bit thicker and it feels better in my hand. The 3 feels very slim to me and the 4 seems just right. Or you could do what I did with my first ESEE knives. Buy a Izula pretty cheap and then order a 5. If you cant get a job done with those two knives just give up and die!

I appreciate the feedback blt-2-drg and guncrazy72. I think ya'll have pushed me towards what I was feeling already. I'll get a 4 and then probably add an Izula for carry/small jobs and a 5 or 6 for large stuff. The 4 seems just right for light camp work. When I'm camping, I'll still have an axe and Kabar.

nice knife! I've been eyeing one of those for a while now... ....BUT if I'm not mistaken - ESEE makes their fixed blades. The HEST 2.0 Folder is made by Lion Steel in Italy. Nice knife nonetheless

Nice knife nonetheless Oh well, close enough It's a nice knife, I think my benchmade is better - quality wise. The finish on the blade of the HEST is really shitty imho, I've had it a whopping 1/2 day and already it has a few scratches on the finish and I didnt even cut anything yet  . Also its very tight, hard to open and hard to close, but if you loosen the pivot screw the blade will then have play which I cant stand. I'm hoping it breaks in though... My benchmade is tighter than a frogs ass and still as smooth as butter. |

ESEE Laserstrike just came out, got mine Friday. After messing around with it a bit, I can tell it will be my go-to knife for woods bumming, day hikes, weekend camping, etc. I'll probably buy a second and toss it in my get home bag as well. It's kind of like the ESEE-4, but with much better balance and feel.
The handle has a pair of Quicktinder tabs and a magnesium/ferro rod inside, eliminating the need for one attached to the sheath. Really liking this as a bushcraft/survival knife.... http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/RatDrall/012.jpg |

I like that sheath! Do you make these for others? I make a very simple sheath for a local company that produces a knife/pry bar for LEO/EMT. I've only made a couple of this type of sheath, but will be making more. It is much more fun than making holsters. Right know I am limited to knives that I or my friends own, but will be expanding into several different neck knife sheaths. Hope to set up a table at the local gun show at the end of April. Any ideas or improvements are welcomed. I have pictures from several different angles. Please direct comments via PM, so we don't sidetrack the ESEE thread. |
