So I LOVE my ESEE 5, but I'm kinda getting into this whole knife game. So I decided to give her a face lift.
Started with a basic 5
Wanted a choil, so I added one....Wanted a new finish, so I striped it too
Factory metal looked like crap, so sand and sand and sand and sand...
After I cut the stippling down I decided to change the shape to more aggressive and longer for use with the choil.
Wanted to give it some character so I did some file work on the spine (I know it's not the best, but hey I only had so long)
Put a patina on the top side of the blade.....Polish/clean blade after getting it dirty.... install grips.
