Show your ESEE knives!

My 3 favorites.

 

My ESEE 6 with a Mora and a couple pieces of totally carmelized fatwood.

 

I dyed the scales black on my stripped 4 and Junglas. I used a few different methods, but a 2-day bath in Rit dye and a follow-up with some Fiebing's black leather dye seemed to soak-in to the micarta pretty damn good. I rinsed them each about 5 times and did a thin coating of paste wax to finish it off.

 

love the black and white photos man!

now go get that Junglas duuuuurty!

 

That 6 looks awesome! Did you customize it yourself?

 

Man you make me so jealous with having cedar where you live! It's pretty rare around me.

 

One of mine

 

Thanks, I dig B&W photos (if you couldn't tell )

I do need to get out and break it in properly, only used it once so far.

 

Yep. Very easy really. RIT dyed the scales a dark brown, then removed the paint from the blade as I don't care for any coating on the steel, except oil of course. Next I picked 3 grapefruits off my tree, juiced them and soaked the bare blade in it for one hour. Really darkens it up and creates a great patina. here are a couple pics of the sheath. Added the Sagewood Gear dangler which really is a great product.

 

Looks awesome

 

Did you add the screw towards the sheath opening to aid retention?

I did a similar mod and much rather the thermoplastic sheath now.

 

That lighting makes it looks pink. Scales look good though. Lol.

 

The camera on my phone sucks. I like the handle better black rather than the original grey.

 

Better?

 

You could've said it was a group buy to support breast cancer research

 

Lol Im all about saving the tatas, but i dont think i could own a pink knife...

 

Yeah, but I have to click on it to look at it. You're doing it wrong. Too much work!

 

LOL me either!
