The Apocalypse Is Canceled, I Have the ESEE 5
This knife isn't just a knife. It's a lifestyle. It's a prybar with identity issues. It's the kind of blade that, if it had legs, would wear combat boots to bed and chew gravel for breakfast. The ESEE 5 is so thick it doesn't cut wood--it shames it into splitting. I baton with this thing through entire logs and feel like I'm forging a path through Middle Earth. I used it to pry open a stuck car door. I may or may not have reinforced a retaining wall with it. I definitely used it to settle a debate over whether a man could fistfight a bear. You don't carry this knife because you need it. You carry it because one day, the universe might try you--and you want to be ready. Final thoughts: probably illegal in several galaxies.
