Re Named to Barbarian fan club! (ESEE-4 knife - need opinion)

[Barbarian]

@Ooh-Rah1069 - ask nice, and @Barbarian might have something for sale... just sayin, keep forgetting about him and his little iron mongery. (mainly because Barbarian hasn't sent me anything from his wonderful inventory to try to break. Even Mr. Harsey gave me an LHR to try to break... btw, Bill hates being called Mr. Harsey, he said that's what we should call his dad, and his dad said he's (dad) just Bill... now, in this case, who do you listen to? I listen to Bill Sr. As a case of respecting your elders elders... even though Bill Jr. isn't much older than me.)

Lol. He only gave you the LHR cause he felt bad about making you chop wood.:troll:

Besides, I'm still too poor to be giving away free knives. A knife maker's beginnings ain't glamorous. You know this.

Also, I'm playing catch up right now, so I can't take new orders at the moment. I can add names to the list, and give you a shout when I get freed up.

 

[usmcvet]

Yeah I don't think I'd break the ESEE. It is a wonderful survival knife and hard use knife. I'm glad I own it, I just do not want to freaking carry the damn thing. =).

 

[Ooh-Rah]

All right @Barbarian , please add me to the waiting list!

 

[Barbarian]

@Ooh-Rah1069 It'd be my pleasure. I'll send you a message soon as I get some orders cleared up.

So Bill isn't much older than you, huh? I know how old Bill is. Hmmmm....... the plot thickens.......

I could have you killed, and your body buried where it would never be found.... I know people...

Wait, is that even possible?

You are looking for hate, aren't you... huh, bub... just looking for some anti-like there...

I'll admit, when I do it, it's not as intimidating.

You rang? I have a whole lot of desert and bombing ranges around me. Plus the crazy one up there with the e-tool.:-"

told you, dude, I got people... and you know what they say about your real friends, right? They're the ones that don't ask any questions, just how deep you need the body buried, and bring the beer for after the work.

Lol. I'm stealing that. Just FYI.

Or lift heavy things when a Chapter's too full of old crustys to be able to do it themselves. Not like Rangers aren't used to doing the heavy lifting anyway...

Hmmm... it was you, me and Kevin that did the majority of heavy lifting that day... and we got to build a metal building... that was mainly you and me... I bought you beer as a thank you, and seared animal flesh too...

 

[Ranger Psych]

Kevin fed awesome beans, he gets a pass. I still get to mock due to the fact that all the 18 series in the world required a frickin Ranger to accomplish the mission.

A big Ranger and a small 18D... the work got done... and of 6 people, only 2 were sweating at the end...

 

[LibraryLady]

... I have smaller hands...

Most def need to handle the knives for comfort level - I would never buy a knife without handling it. The Troll and I got matching T-1 knives on our wedding day, at my request we bypassed the gorgeous rosewood handle and got G10 scales instead, not as pretty but better gripability, especially with my soft non calloused hands. Yes. I do have a girly pink folder with Damascus steel, that is my purse EDC, the T-1 is my EDC in my back pocket.

Bill Harsey let me handle the prototype of the First In Asia/Pacific. A great part of that discussion involved the difference in our hand sizes. That would be enormous bear paw versus tiny mouse... LOL

Anywho... the Pacific was and still is one of the most comfortable tactical knives I've ever handled/worn/used.

LL - yes I name dropped, and yes that's just to keep the Troll humble cuz I got to experience Bill's knife shop before he ever did...

Center, by itself - A Loveless design for Gerber, verified by Bill Harsey that Bob Loveless actually worked on the knife, and that Harsey probably sharpened it when it came out, very small production run, gift from HH6.

 

[x SF med]

and, folders (see the little mother of pearl miniature? I was challenged by the HH6 and Harsey and Gunnerjohn and the Spartan boys to sharpen all 4 blades withoyt ruining the esthetics of the blades... and won), some of these knives are a lot older than some members on this board:
