@Justafigment this is a normal ESEE forum response to an immediately closed thread. I dont know why. It just is.
That’s ok, I had a want to buy ad up for an Esee 6hm group buy knife, but the more I read down through here there are people in other ads looking for them too that have been here longer than I have.So I am closing my thread.
It doesn't come down to longer, It comes down to timing and vigilance. Check the forum every morning and every night. AND I'm In! Jeff Randal for dog catcher.
Yes I would recommend checking the for sale thread to see if some lists one on a regular basis. Can't say how many times I have see someone post a knife they are selling and then 8 posts below there is a want to buy looking for that exact knife... People don't always check want to buy posts and often times just list something for sale.
if you want it as a user, save some funds and a lot of time -- buy a "regular" 6HM, strip it, square the spine, and give it a strong patina yourself.
I might just do that , I really wish you could buy the Esees with a 90 spine, I am more worried about screwing that up or getting a good sharp spine than anything. Thanks!
You probably don't need more than a files width of 90 on the spine. Then you can strike a ferro rod or scrape sticks and leave the rest of the spine rounded so it won't chew up batons or your fingers.
.....this, a small piece of hacksaw is what I carry with my rod. A little longer than normally supplied with some of them so I can used it to cut with in a pinch as well (multipurpose and all that).
