While out today, I came across a large amount of carboard that
could have been cut...but strangely I did not feel the urge...
Went down to the river to get pictures, which brings me to another part of the review: How I have been carrying it.
In the woods I had it on a shoulder strap attachment, but around the city I have been carrying it in my backpack.
Here you can see how it is a tad less long than the backpack is wide:
This allows for it to lay sideways at the bottom of the "laptop pocket" compartment.
I can fit bigger knives such as the ESEE Junglas in the pack, but it sits vertically and leaning across, taking up quite a bit of space.
The ESEE 5 just sits at the bottom out of the way, not impeding my ability to carry other things.
Oh, and for people who think "It's too thick! How will I cut dainty slices of my fancy cheese?"
Well, you do realize you are allowed to carry more than one knife at a time, right?
It also keeps your coffee safe in Tim Hortons:
But how does it do at cutting things, things like, oh, meat?
Really well, actually.
Got rid of all that gross fat I didn't feel like eating.
And of course, it will cut up ugly onion pieces for you:
So yeah, it is proving to be a completely usable knife.
