Handle improvement on a true classic
I bought this one to replace the one I gave to my nephew who is due to deploy soon and was lacking a quality survival knife. It had given me nearly 10 years of faithful service itself and had shown no signs of slowing down. I had used it to pry, chop, slice, feather, light fire steels, baton, bore holes, carve traps, and even on one occasion puncture open number 10 cans. If there is such a thing as a "do it all tool" the ESEE 6 is it. I thought there was no way you could improve this, but the shaped micarta scales are a MARKED improvement. The palm swell hugs the cavity in my palm perfectly. I can't wait to take it out for some work this weekend. As always, shipping was lightning fast and the service was excellent. Love you guys at KCI.
