...just joking, seriously.
Big ol hunk a S35VN.
Eight ounces to be exact...
Esee-4.
I always had an eye for Esee knives, but didn't want to take the chance on maintaining that 1095 carbon steel. I just knew I would use it and put it down for a week and come back to a rusted edge.
First model out with easy sharpening, tough, edge holding, way more stainless S35VN.
Handles are small for large hands... same scales as the Esee-3.
I've got longer extended handles coming for it that cover up that pommel on the end and use it as a lanyard hole.
I'm gettin the urge to go camp a few nights on tha ridge again... sans mountain camper. Been a while.

Yes, price is a little steep for me… especially since I occasionally lose a knife!

I took a sack of knives to a little gathering this weekend and let the two 8 and 10 year old brothers there each have their pick of a small selection (with papa's approval of course).
VERY rewarding to see the joy it gave them. One of them must have flipped that flipper a couple hundred times in the next couple hours. They thanked me profusely over and over about a dozen times.
I'd do it again...

It's not a knife! ( today )
I don't carry a saw every day... Unless I am in the woods or on the trail.
I love my silky zubats obviously (2 decades as a working certified arborist will do that for ya), but on the trail they draw eyes because of the pistol grip. I never feel like dealing with questions from the hall monitor types or forest service men or DNR, so I'll carry a small folder (shown) or discreetly lash my zubat to my pack.
The big boy Has it cutting edge about an inch longer but folds up about three inches shorter. On the trail I don't need to draw the tool. One-handed at a moment's notice like I do on my hunt lease. So the bigger foldable saw makes sense.
This is gonna make processing some larger firewood (EDIT: camping firewood) a snap compared to the menial cutting I could do with the small folder...
If you've never draw, one of these Japanese-made professional quality saws through a piece of wood, you are missing out!
I have a belt scabbard ordered for I can carry it folded on my hip.
While I was typing this up the amazon man and a USPS box showed up...
BRB!

Oh yeah!
The scabbard has a removable belt clip so you can take it off your belt and leave the clip on without having to take off your belt.
AND The removable belt clip is an exact match for the ones on my zubat scabbards so I have extras...

Here’s a new big ole chunk of steel. I don’t know the why or what I’ll do with it, but I like it.

Whatever you want to?
That thing is an absolute ROCK!
The blade stock/spine is a quarter inch thick.
Ya don't even hafta stick whoever ya throw it at... the blunt end will knock em OUT.
Ain't no way to destroy that thing but if you do, Esee will replace it.
The more you use it, the more uses you'll find for it.
One thing for sure, you prolly won't need a bigger knife!
Awesome!

I like that sheath a lot also...

Spyderco sprint run (limited production) Siren. Carbon fiber/S90V. A true super steel by any measure, exteme wear resistance/edge retention.
Linerless (3.3 oz.), the backlock will drop the blade open and shut with no wrist flick at all.
I like a blade long enough to cut my sandwich or my burger in half without getting ketchup in the pivot.
This one's gonna get a lot of run time... Gonna knock my CruCarta PM2 down a notch.
Went ahead and inaugurated it with some leftover meatballs...
