you may or may not find this interesting. that's it.
I bought this silly looking knife because I am a multi-tool junkie...also it has skull on it. Turns out ESEE is an awesome company and I subsequently bought an esee 3 which I loved. I stripped the HEST and carried it for, I don't know, a bit. Then my brother shipped out to Helmand for his third tour and I decided to try to get rid of this silly looking knife by sending it halfway across the globe. And much like Nermal does when Garfield sends her to Abu-Dabi it found it's way back to me. My brother, like all service men has an extra room in his house filled with OD green crap and tries to get rid of it whenever possible so I agreed to take Nermal back. Turns out he carried it everyday and kept it under his head at night on missions, which is where it found its primary calling. But he did use the hell out of it otherwise, found it to be a serviceable blade and got it nice and dirty. there's sand from Afghanistan still on it. Pretty cool.

I was thinking of voiding the warranty by getting someone to try to braze some carbide into the stupid bottle opener.
