Thank you very much! That is very kind of you! I must admit… I am very pleased with the way these turned out. When I was rigging them, I wanted there to be more handle and I think I accomplished it.
Interesting idea, my only question would be, do you have to carry a Philips head screw driver with you everywhere in case you happen to need the money or medication?
Ahhh, good question. I should do a little video on the subject. I carry a Swiss Army Knife, so that makes it easy. Also, the pull tab from your jeans fits in the slot quite well. May look odd to anyone watching, but these screws are not on super tight, so getting them loose with just about anything is not that big a struggle. Thanks for watching and commenting.
If I were to have someone make these I would use the regular screws like he did , but I would cut the screws so it's only 1 deep line and I would carry a penny with me. Or if you were seriously stuck somewhere anything that's flat would suffice
Man! I love that. Would you be willing to make another set, (just the scales, I have the exact knife already) using the same screws and color? I would pay you of course. I’m 61, and have arthritis in my hands, my days of making anything for myself are long past.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. As for making a handle for you, i’m flattered that you asked, but I don’t make these modifications for other people. Just for my own use. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment! I truly appreciate it!
Yep, but with a slight mod. Here is a link to the video that explains my sheaths. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Ne4MzFiaRw.html Let me know what you think.
Here is a video where I explain those handle scales. ESEE IZULA Knife Handle Super Secret Compartment ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ACpxELDepg.html
Yes I did. I harvested candles from another knife ESEE used to make. The HEST. I did not like the knife, but I thought the handle skills were really cool. And my Izula needed handle scales. This was way back before aftermarket scales were even available. So I fit them to this knife. And have loved it every day ever since!
I custom made that handle and Kydex sheath. They come with a decent sheet. And you can clip it on your belt. But there are so many aftermarket sheath makers out there we will have no problem finding one. As far as getting a handle that looks like that, you won’t. What you will find are lots of more rounded ones. They come in wood and all kinds of colors of Micarta.
There are two reasons why I chose the Phillips. They are rounded and provide just a little extra something to hold onto without any sharp edges that you would encounter with a slotted And secondly I use my can opener on the Swiss Army knife when I have it in my pocket and in an emergency situation. If I didn’t have that, you can use the pool tab on the zippers from your jeans. Don’t laugh… I’ve done it. At a store.
Add a small rod magnet with north marked and a tiny bit of foam (the size of the advil) and youve got a compass. It can float in a plastic bottle cap of water.
I dont wanna steal your thunder, that is an amazing customization. However, my laser strike has a suture kit and some.quik clot inside my handle. Cause the blade is so dang sharp. I put a 21 degree edge on it. Thanks for sharing this. Do you make custom scales for sale?
You did not steal my thunder. Only difference in our knives is that my knife can almost fit into the cavity of your Laser Strike. I like that knife. It is underrated and does not get as much love as other models. But it really is an awesome knife.
Not sure where these screws came from. They are Phillips that ESEE used to provide with their knife sheaths. I ground these to be shorter so they would not bump uglies in the middle of the aluminum two sided nut inside. Just recently tried to color them a little with a torch. It worked a little. Watch this video and you will see more about the handle: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3ACpxELDepg.html
I highly recommend it. However… Realize that you’re not going to get those handle scales. those are my super Duper custom top-secret handmade one-of-a-kind scales.
These screws are there for a big reason. Just about anything can open them. I don't want to have to fish around for a specialized tool to have to open it. Thanks for watching.
Yeah my dad gave me his and I got that handle loaded up with fire steel 2 fishing hooks and 2 fishing lore’s and couple yards of fishing line too thing is a beast lol
Well, ghetto or not, the Phillips head screw is a deliberate choice. I can easily open them with my Swiss Army Knife. Or, if I lose my SAK, I can use the pull tab on the zipper of my jeans to open the knife. Can't do that with Torx or Allen type hardware.
Pretty cool! It's a very nice looking knife and the $50 bucks can help in emergencies and the ibuprofen for any aches and pains. If the apocalypse takes place you can use the $50 to get a 12 pack and sing, "She'll be coming around the mountains when she comes." 🎵🤗😂👍
Nope. I explain in this video why I chose what I chose: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pzelYh4Nqrw.html After you watch it, you will understand better.
@@knifetimestory im just yankin your chain about the hidden treasures. Boomers are these angry people born between 1946-1965. I’m sure you’re not this. I should have wrote “old man”😂Even if… I enjoy your content, and you have influenced many of my purchases 👍🏻
I was not insulted. I just didn’t know where that was headed. No worries! Thank you very much for your kind words and explanation. I’m glad I’ve had some sort of influence on your knife purchases. Hopefully you’re happy with them! Thank you very much for watching and commenting and explaining your comment.👍🏻😂
Initially I didn’t like blade coatings, but I like them because they help start making the knife look used and old. And I like carbon steel because it Patinaz. And the SEE is a great job heat treating this tried and true steel. What is it about that stuff that you don’t like? Thank you very much for watching and commenting!
@@zen8704 the last time I looked at ESEE knives they were all coated and only carbon steel. I'll take another look. I actually have an azula. They're good knives for sure. Thank you
@@knifetimestory I guess for the same reason you like it is because it makes it look used and old. Basically after the first use, and carbon steel tends to rust . I just prefer stainless. They're definitely good knives though, I have an izula.
You are very observant and right. I should probably go back to that, but a single fifty fits better. But, lots of places cringe when presented with a fifty or hundred. Hmmm. Now you have me second guessing myself. Dang!
@@knifetimestory, haha, it's more than me, I never use cash, but keep an emergency twenty in my wallet. If it costs more than twenty, I'm washin' dishes or sellin' my azz. 😆
@@Gman1024it’s a great idea and I used to do that same thing. Here’s my lengthy yet crazy story. I kept my $20 bill in my glove compartment tucked behind my insurance card in a plastic sleeve. I got pulled over (I was 19-20 and dumb, I went over the double yellow line past an unmarked police car driven by a captain) by a cop who was very angry and I knew a lot of cops who would go to bat for me. He was yelling and asked for my dl and registration and then he walked away and came back to ask for my insurance card 😩. I got it out of the glove box and I was fanning out the papers to hand it to him thinking there was a temporary one or the one from the previous policy. I ended up handing him the insurance card with a $20 bill and he looked at it and he looked at me and he flipped out on me bad 😮. He took my PBA card that I had received from a friend cop and said he was giving to the cop that gave it to me and ofc tickets. The cop tt me about it and gave me back the PBA card with a gentle reminder to drive chill. The captain never showed up for court which dismissed the tickets but the cops were telling me for two months they couldn’t get him to not show because he was mad as hell. It all worked out but I learned some valuable lessons that day.
