New esee 4!

[Ciskman]

Bought myself one of these knives from Paul at Bushcraft Canada. First of I must say he has exceptional customer service and I won't hesitate to deal with him again.

I did a lot of shopping around and was looking for an "all around" knife for camp chores/survival. I is a solid well balanced knife. It weighs 7.4oz(off the ESEE site) 9.0 inches long with a 4.5 inch blade. It sliced through paper right out of the box, but wasnt "shave your arm" sharp( it is a relatively thick blade)

I did some light battoning with it today and it performed flawlesly. Maybe a little big for cleaning game but I do intend to give it a try this fall. I plan to put this knife through its paces at home and at work(military SAR) and will drop updates if it does anything spectacular.

Heres a couple of pics of this beauty. I added my SOG multitool to the sheath..looks cool but might be a bit heavy:-?

Great looking tool Ciskman.

Question, do people (or you, being a 'professional) actually use the lanyard when you're using the knife?

Ive only ever used a laynard will on the side of a cliff or near an open aircraft door...and only so I dont drop my knife to its death, but for general use it just seems to get in the way.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks.

Cause we all know that SAR Techs are infamous for dropping shat from planes ;). Nice looking blade
As for using lanyards, they have their places like Ciskman mentioned. Another good one is on the boat, or diving ;)

When I was active in SCUBA, I did have a lanyard on my 10" chisel-tipped dive knife. Used it a lot and never lost a knife. Hunting knives are different for me. Being an ex-meat cutter I'm used to hanging onto a blade when using it and knowing where it I put it down. Just don't see the need for lanyards when on land - unless you're hanging from a cliff maybe.

Ya thats pretty much how it goes, more to prevent it from falling off/out of something then anything else.
