Can't wait for these to be orderable on their own. My nephew was in town last week and had one of the new 4s for me to look at. Fantastic grip and texture, I was very impressed. Great job on these ESEE!
I just traded into a S35vn 3. Love the knife and the contours of the scales are wonderful, but G10 is without a doubt my least favorite handle material. I ordered a set of standard micarta scales to swap out.
So we're already into Spring Break of 2022...............any updates on the 3D canvas scales hitting the market? I've recently seen photos of the ESEE 5 with 3D canvas scales sans the drill divot. Those scales are exacttly what I want for an ESEE 6. I'd also like canvas 3D scales on my ESEE 3 without having to buy an ESEE 4 just to rob them. I'd gladly buy them from TKC and avoid further waiting, but they seem to deal almost exclusively with G10.
My comment re: II pic didn't show. Just got the new TKC Canvas. Directly compared to other IIs, they are, no surprise, noticeably grippier than friends Linen micarta and to me, give a lighter, better balance than daughter's G10. Also seem less absorbent than both Esee and good ol' LMF canvas. Really good stuff. 3 and 4 gotta be comin' real soon I would think.
Thank you for the photo nofuss. Those scales look perfect, and exactly like what I want on my ESEE knives. I have faith that TKC will bring additional models to market in canvas micarta. This is another first world problem, so I'll maintain my patience.
We've kinda had this thing that has affected us a little bit.... supply chains, record HIGH demand..... all of which I might add our Magic 8ball did not foretell... consequently, all previous timelines have been pushed back...all new product, ...even the gold plated items have been put on hold till we get clear.... In TRUTH....we are in the passenger seat to ALL of this.... When will it got done....we simply don't know...... we are at the whim of the industry and making MORE knives in a MORE efficient way that EVER in the history of the company.....and we are STILL MORE behind than ever.... We we know something.....we will put it out there.....& here.
