Hey Terry, you ever swap scales on an Esee before? I want the orange like on your Xanadu (I think) but worried about non factory fitment. I dig the black but, you know..

Dude! Nice.
How much lighter is your Xancudu? I think I need one of those now.

Any sharpening kit you wish you had? Affordable that is.
I pocket carry it in a JouFuu sheath. About what a good folder weighs.

As for the sharpening, here's my take on it.

Get Arkansas stones and learn to put a decent edge on a blade. If an Arkansas stone won't sharpen the steel, I won't own the knife.

You will inevitably convex the edge hand sharpening. So have a system you prefer to put a precise edge back on it when damaged or beyond your ability to hand sharpen.

I use the Lansky 5 stone and Lansky 4 stone diamond kits.

The regular 5 stone does the ESEE 1095 with ease. It will do basic sharpenings on S30V and S35VN (Xancudo) but if you have some damage, the more exotic steels need the diamond stones to cut them fast.

That's my take. I go outdoors away from my Lansky kits. So I feel like it's important to be able to use my axe puck or little diamond rod in my pack to put a usable edge back on my blades till I can make it home.

Okay passing this on for the knife fetish
not sure how long sale is or supplies

but dang good company and great knifes.

I wonder if it's 149 cause the dudes name or the knife is worthy.. either way a lil flamboyant for my taste.

Got the Kydex "Clip & Carry" for my current multi tool. I'm really liking the feel of it on my side. Fits snug and after some retention adj it fits like a glove. 20220501_121916.jpg20220501_121740.jpg20220501_121802.jpg
