We are talking politicans, right?

Either or

Refinished my ESEE-5 today. I'm happy the way it turned out. Room for improvement on the next one.

Nice, hello TT.

What's wrong with it? An Esse 5 (no serrations) will be my next knife purchase. I already have a Junglass and a few others. They are some of the best values in blades IMHO.

Looks good, have you thought about taking a hot iron to those grip gouges? That would probably look pretty sweet having a slight discoloration to them.

Added one more pic.
no I didn't think of that. I might try it on another knife first and see what it looks like. Thanks for the idea

Just ran the bore laser in all my long guns. Have been switching optics around and not shot them

I just see places I goofed. I can do better. I just went too fast. Thanks!
yes I love the esees! I also have a junglas and a couple others. Junglas is my favorite

I thought that's where this was going.

What did you use for the scales? I've considered doing something to my 4 for a little better traction.

It has great character but I can see the imperfections in your file-work. I assume that's what you're talking about. I would suggest drawing it out on the knife first with a fine point sharpie. It gives you the chance to have a good idea what it will look like before you make it permanent. Plus it gives you a pattern to follow with the file.

Edit: Don't use a sharpie on your scales! That could be bad. Maybe print out a picture of it and draw on that.

Chez is here.

If you opened a French restorant you could call it "Chez Chez".

I like the notches.

I need to get out back this weekend and do the same. I've been holding off on going down to AB until I've got expendable money so I can hit the BBQ place for the Brisket sandwich. Maybe next week. I've gotta get the Holo sight I bought off Cigarguy sighted in.

I used a dremel on the whole thing

If you need a laser I have 2.
They get me on paper and centered. Elevation is about all that needs adjusted at the range.

Yep. I couldn't feel how hard I was pressing with the dremel (problem of numb hands) and it jumped on me so I made a extra couple notches. Next time I will use a file and a pattern.

Nahm I'd change my name to "Uki", so it could be "Chez Uki's".

One of these days, I hope to be able to afford a really serious chopper like a Busse. I know a guy who can get through a 2x4 in six blows with his. Of course, he has arms like tree trunks too.
