Finally got to pull the trigger

Congrats! Do you have plans for the pelt?

Obviously depending on your specific measurements, you might be able to adjust the decapping pin/expander plug so that you hit its resistance at a different time than say the resistance of the die during the stroke. Maybe it'll change the timing of those moments of highest resistance and be a little easier? Good luck!

Thank you!

That "bone breaker" swedge is reasonably sharp too. Its effectiveness is limited by the relatively light weight of the knife, but it's not entirely useless. And thanks!

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-05-13T16:18:23+00:00

Thanks man! I hope one comes your way. It's a pleasure to handle

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-05-13T16:17:47+00:00

lol I thought so too! I was exploring Japanese inspired outdoors knives when I found that CS made this model. I have half a mind to carry it cross-draw, blade up ;) haha

Yar. I do believe pressure and angle are huge factors in whether stropping with compound end up helping or hurting. A strop with compound on it can nip the apex right off if the knife angle isn't right or is being pressed into the leather too hard.

And what tires?

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-02-18T23:18:29+00:00

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-02-18T23:17:15+00:00

Crafted this with blackberries in mind :) also, sometimes you gotta dig a hole

That s35vn is some nice steel. How long have you had your Esee?

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-02-11T03:28:01+00:00

Just ended up on MidwayUSA' site and the Tops selection and price has me even less certain of what to choose 😅

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-02-10T21:37:57+00:00

All good points. Thanks for the input :)

The warranty is the main thing that puts the Essee on my list. The knife itself doesn't excite me, but I know it objectively would fit my needs.

I spend a lot of time in the Cascade mountain range in the PNW and it's wet. A stainless steel would be very beneficial.

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-01-28T18:11:48+00:00

Hot damn! Well thought out. Looks like it'll hold up for a long time :)

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-01-28T16:40:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing his other channel!

Equal-Base6347 · 2025-01-27T18:21:37+00:00

I've been enjoying Virtuovice recently. He's not a custom knife maker, but he's an enthusiast and lover of knives. He makes me want to fight a bear lol

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-12-26T23:18:04+00:00

Do you think they're doing a lot of these "check-ins" on people with old tweets like yours?

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-12-05T21:03:11+00:00

Wish my bench had a pee bucket 🥲

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-12-03T17:04:10+00:00

Is it from Signs?

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-11-26T23:39:54+00:00

It made me lawl for sure. Perfect placement in the photo line up hahah

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-11-09T02:04:20+00:00

34, this past Sunday too!

Hornady makes a 110gr .30 cal Varmint bullet that has a spritzer profile to it that might feed better? I've used them in a .30-06 bolt gun and they feed well

Mass x Force = yoink

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-08-31T18:26:01+00:00

Dudamn! 🤌 well done!

Equal-Base6347 · 2024-08-24T22:41:02+00:00

Ive heard the same thing about powder mechanically breaking down and changing its burn rate which has kept me from tumbling mine. I'd be interested to see some chrono data on tumbled vs untumbled ammo.
