What we need is a store in the mall like those stores for little girls that make dolls except you design knives.
I wish ESEE made : A stainless steel mess kit, like the old Russian style. Two piece , main pot and generous size lid , but also incorporate a nalgene Tritan canteen into it like the Yugoslavia or Serbian mess kits.
I was thinking along the lines of the old round cowboy canteen sandwiched between a frying pan and plate, all stainless or titanium
I could go for a jumbo cleaver. There needs to be a cleaver line. 1/2, standard, and Cleaver XL. A Izula XL would be in my interests as well. The hatchet, after it shows up... will satisfy one of my wants. I have a shopping cart pending right now at TKC that is over $600. I might have an ESEE problem. I do want a HEST knife though for some reason. maybe the Rowan MFJ version. Not sure yet. Also trying to find a decent. Stockman to replace the one that was stolen. :-(
i would like a 10 - 12 inch blade kukri in Rowen 1095. with linen micarta handle scales that swells near the hilt for retention while chopping. on the blade edge that goes from the hilt to the bend i would want a deep saber grind for serious strength. then from the bend to the tip have it be a flat grind for biting deep into wood but have a bit of a solid tip for a strong point. im not sure on the sheath.... im leaning towards kydex, but was wondering if it was possible to do strong glass filled zytel slabs? or, what would carbon fiber slabs raise the price to? would like lashing slots at intervals around the edge. again, if theres a way, i like the screw slot that adds to the retention of the Junglas, but with the bent blade, i dont know if theres a way to incorporate that?? much like the kukris that come from asia, have an option for an izula or candiru to accompany the main larger blade. and if Jeff & Mike could get that on the market in the next month or so, that would be great! Thanks!
