I’m not bad at sharpening but, don’t want to spend a ton of time doing it all the time. So, maybe a steel that is in the middle of holding an edge and easy to sharpen.

let me look in ESEE in the morning, I might be able to help with that...…

A local place has their stuff for sale, not a lot of options but let me check in the morning.

You might get lucky...something you haven't been able to do for a while!

[emoji23] You da man, bro.

I have the ESEE as a truck knife, however.

The Spyderco is mainly a defensive blade, correct? I’m looking for a “can do all” type of blade. If it can serve as a defensive blade as well then, it’s a plus.

Sorry, he doesn't have any 4" or 5" blades. He had 2 of the ESEE3 in shop. Like this one: https://eseeknives.com/product/esee-3

and some of the little pointer spear things.

He said your (my price is $59) Shipping would be maybe another $10ish? Not sure but Its only a 3" blade so I know its smaller than you wanted.

I have this blade and its one of my hunting favorites!

sorry I couldn't be more help :(

If you were really interested in waiting I could contact ESEE directly and get LEO pricing direct. It would take me a few days to get it but I would do it for you. Their direct pricing is pretty good if I remember correctly.

No worries bro, I appreciate it. I prefer the 4” for an all around knife. It’s up to you if you want to go through all that Jazz. If not, it’s no issue. I won’t have the money till next week anyhow and I’m still doing research on which one I want to purchase.

Never owned one, but I know a couple team members that had them. They felt pretty good in the hand. I would own one, but I’ve been Gerber fan since I once owned a Guardian.

I like that handle...looks like a good feeling handle.

Good price IMO

4”-5” Blades

I don’t know squat about the steels used in knives. On another forum I was told the 420hc (what the Gerber has) is very difficult to sharpen and the edge can chip real easily.

It was suggested I get this one instead.... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...97e6f5bfba.jpg
