Esee friction folder.

[Obturation]

Hey all,
Picked up this unusual esee pinhoti friction folder today

Just thought it was kinda cool and like the design. I noticed it was serialized and wondered if this is a collectable that I should put away or just use the thing. I have no shortage of knives so either way is ok by me. If I use it there's no way it'll have any collectable value in a short time - I'm hard on my gear
Thanks

Yes, 1095. It came extremely sharp too.

I'd use it. That's the joy of having a nice tool on hand.

Looks neat. I’m an Esee fan. Even if it’s rare I’d use it me

Maybe get the Svord and use it and put the ESSE up?

I've had one for many years , it's my work knife

I would use it, personally. However, I use all of my knives regardless of cost, so I may not be the best suited to give advice!

I've got a Svord that stays in the top shelf of the tool box. I'm the first to admit the knife is perfectly functional, and then right after that admit I don't care for it.

I forgot to mention , my svord pictured above is the orange handled version. Hard to tell. I'm an auto mechanic and so I don't use a knife with pocket clip to avoid scratches on painted surfaces, the svord has been the best work knife I could ask for.
