New fixed blade owner...Now what do I use it for?

[nismoz33]

So I have been wanting a fixed blade for awhile and I ended up with a ESEE-6 from Brad's Knives. Now that I have my first real fixed blade knife, what do I use it for on a regular basis?

I plan on using it when I camp or having it in my BOB normally. But I'm trying to figure out what I can use it for on a regular basis. What do other ESEE-6 owners use their knives for? What do you all use your fixed blade knives for?

Stabbing looter, rapist, & thieves

Use it for food prep in the kitchen. Yard clean up for low hanging branches dead limbs, fallen branches. Carve sticks. Practice making traps. Ect ect ect

I think the old saying is something like when you have a hammer in your hand everything looks like a nail

Steak, taters, chicken, taters, chops, taters
Get the idea here?

Deer season is rapidly approaching, and the 6 works beautifully for dressing them. And like Grunt said, embrace your inner kid and go play in the woods with it.

Do you have any pictures of the traps you have made?

Sorry I was not there to sell you your first fixed blade. There are many purposes for your ESEE 6. You will just need to play with it to see what it will do for you. Take it outside and use your imigination but remember it has a lifetime warranty so do NOT be afraid to use the heck out of it.

It was designed for survival so you do not have to baby it.

Care to explain?

In the Old West they used the knife to shave, trim toe nails as well as to clean and cut up their meat.

I bet that still applies to here in the New Midwest.

Use your ESEE for all the things you previously used the proper tool for.

I'll just narrow down your original quote to the pertinant parts I'm refering to.

grunt soldier doesnt have any pictures of traps because he doesnt actually use his knives. he just takes pretty pictures and puts them back in his safe.

As much as some of them cost I cant say that I blame him.

true they are costly, but with lifetime warranties/guarantees why the heck not beat the crap out of them. If i get a really nice hammer with a lifetime guarantee am i going to leave it on the shelf and go back to using my $3 one from walmart because i don't want to scratch the finish? heck no, your EDC knife (or for whatever use) is a tool and should be treated as such. , just my

Esee Izula, purchased from knife lady 13 months ago
It has stuck by my side (pun intended) over Colorado mountains, through West Virginia white water rafting, and every place my adventuring self manages to get into. It has become such a daily item for me, that if I do not have it then I feel naked...
Like that dream you used to have where you show up at school and forgot your pants.


It is used daily, for anything from paper to plastic wrappers, to copper cables, and even wood.
Matter of fact the only thing it hasn't been used for is filleting would be rapist/thugs
I have sharpened it twice. ever. And it is still sharper than my other knives

The only thing I don't like is trying to convince my peers it is not a throwing knife.
