Since waiting four days to have my request for a return RMA was replied to with questions about "why" i was unhappy and "how do they cut", it was not in my interest to continue more back and forth. I now questioned whether the return would be an issue once I spent another $50 to return them to England, and wait another month or more for the refund. I decided to right off the wasted money completely. The way in which my original request for a refund was handled, I have no further interest in Ernest Wright. My impression of the brand has been irepreprably diminished since Ernest Wright does not consider this defect a defect! Ernest Wright could have resolved this issue simply by sending me an RMA, and a prepaid return label. That was not how customer service treated me.

You said it perfectly, it is the most versatile out there. I don’t need to make any excuses for liking it. My last one lasted for over 20 years, and I’m only replacing it because solvent got on the handle and deteriorated it and the plastic on the leg straps broke. The butt is separate from the tang so you won’t get electrocuted cutting live wire, it has a point for breaking glass, including plexiglass or anything it contacts. You can use it as a hammer by using the flat portion of the butt on the nail and holding the plastic sheath with your hand. It has a sharpener Incorporated into the perfectly designed sheath which itself you can mount vertically in four different ways. It has lashing holes and a glass filled nylon and rubber coat handle. It has a dropped and beveled point with perfect balance. I could go on. What knife out there has even three of these features in its design? Excellent product.

I get you say "just bring a hatchet" and ideally obviously I would, I have one in my truck. But alot of people buy these as survival knives for a reason, shit hit the fan and you are stuck with only the knife in your pack and couldn't grab your hatchet. Or you are in the military and don't have room in your pack, or don't want that much extra weight for the offchance of doing a specific chance. That's a big target audience for this knife. You are in the woods or jungle and you need one knife that can chop and split. That's why the original Kabar came to be, if you combine it with the E-tool, the e-tool can do chopping, and maybe splitting (haven't tried it), and this knife is kabar sized but more durable and designed by people who stand by there work better.

I sometimes debate using this one because it so nice, but it's made to be used and I would put it up against those other overhyped knives. What have I used most everyday as a suburban that does outdoor things on weekends? The ESEE Zancudo foldable pocket knife they gave me for free when I bought my customized ESEE 6. Perfect everyday carry and its easier to have on me everyday in the business world.

aside from the cheapo wheels the case is solid. i know wheels. these are crap. loose bearings, no preload adjustment, doomed to fail. should be sealed bearings. even high end bearings are a couple bucks to them. Let's get real. Also, seperate wheel construction would be better for replacement/servicing. lastly, a steel insert on the axle holes ( like for the locks ) would make the case last longer.

I own the exact same PureVis water bottle for weeks and I’m still not convinced. My local tap water is pretty safe for consumption but it’s still have chlorine aftertaste. I still use the brita pitcher and boil the water after filtering it out. If I run the tap water directly into the PureVis and it tastes exactly the same. The chlorine won’t be eliminated and so filters are still required. In my opinion: the bottle is designed to purify the already cleaned water. The only benefit is that it can auto clean the bottle to eliminate foul odors when uva is activated. Don’t think about this magic bottle will turn dirty water into clean drinkable water!

@@1800moonSugar to the contrary it seems like you know very little about survival and the outdoors. If I lost my hatchet (which has never happened) I’d use my knife, not a big deal. If I lose my scraper I have a backup and I’m guessing that you’re not educated enough to know this but I’d simply smooth out the spine of my knife on a rock if emergency demands it 🤷♂️. I don’t find using a scraper difficult in the sense that it’s multiple times a day. I light one fire and keep it going. I could make a torch to carry the flame but I digress.

@@richroc7 I’m not a survivalist but isn’t efficiency important? While batoning consumes a bit more energy than using a hatchet, you can argue that traveling with a 2lb hatchet is also energy consuming. A knife can achieve the same thing as a scraper and a hatchet and more. I see it this way. Most of us will never be in a survival situation. So what is the most practical when I go backpacking, camping and hunting? It’s simply inefficient to bring a hatchet. And what are you likely gonna have in a survival situation? Are you going to carry an axe everywhere you go? A good comparison to this is a leatherman multi tool. A screw driver, needle nose pliers, wire stripper, file, and prybar might be better. But the leatherman has it all in one and will get the job done despite being worse at the job. A survival knife is gonna be the same concept. It can fillet a fish, but should I bring a fillet knife too?
@richroc78 ай бұрын
@@Phaminator525 imho there are pros and cons to both sides of this. While not bringing the axe is less weight it’s also more work on the edge of your blade. Lighter weight means sharpening twice as often. I definitely don’t ever want to be in that situation. I enjoy my modern comforts too much. 👊🏼

Hello Pam, I wanted to send some better photos of the issue with the shears. The first four are the bad side, and the fifth is the good side as comparison. It is very easy to see the missing edge of the blade spine. Not only is this an aesthetic defect, it would be a concern for the strength of the blade. It really is important that you understand this was just one purchase we made for Ernest Wrights Shears, but they were all purchased to be heirlooms. Because of this point, it is truly disappointing that these are not what we expected. Also, please express these concerns to the people in quality control. It really has affected my earlier impressions of the brand. Have a nice weekend,

Thank you for your patience while I heard back from Neil and Paul. They have both asked how the scissors cut, as you have not mentioned that at all. They both understand that on the outside blade there is an inconsistent grinding line, but these ones passed quality control because they do not see that as a defect. It is handmade and each and every pair will have it’s own look and feel. This does not and will not affect the cutting action of the scissor. This pair is unique to you, but as you are not happy with the aesthetics of your scissors, we can offer you a replacement pair, the next batch of which should be ready within the next 2 weeks, or we can offer you a refund. Please let me know how you would like to proceed, then I will let you know how you can return yours. Take care and have a good week.

I must say I love your enthusiasm for the ESEE6! I've been considering the ESEE6 for quite a while but I confess that I am conflicted about it. Firstly, I do not adhere to the one-knife-only school of thought, but rather the best-tool-for-the-job school. With that said, where does the ESEE6 fit in? In short, it doesn't. Why not? Size: the ESEE6 is too thin (for splitting) and light (for chopping) to really be a Big knife, yet it is too heavy to be a medium size belt knife, even a touch too long (11,75" with a 5,75" cutting edge). It is far too large and the wrong shape for a bushcraft knife. So where does it fit? 4:14 Batoning: here I tend to agree with you, but not altogether. Splitting a large log like that is not knife work - a knife is a contact tool eg cutting, an axe is an impact tool eg chopping. But, an axe is heavy and needs a lot of energy to do its work. So, how to get around the problem? Instead of the primary tool being an axe (as you suggest), I believe that to be a saw! For the outdoors, a folding saw (Silky is my choice). This can do a lot of low energy work for better results (nice neatly square-cut logs). OK, so splitting: well here one can always use a wooden wedge (which you don't have to carry around!). It will split almost as well. But why cut such thick logs in the first place? Why not just harvest thinner limbs and sticks in various thicknesses suited for the various purposes (tinder, kindling and fuel)? So, you say, but the wood is wet! Huh? Always? Granted, if it is so wet, yeah, you might have to cut a few logs to find some dry core wood to get the fire started. Isn't it a lot easier just to carry a small quantity of tinder/kindling (it's a lot lighter than an axe!). Once you have the first fire it's simple to dry the next bundle of wet tinder/kindling for the next wet-weather fire. [I learned that at Boy Scouts decades ago!] As I said I'm not totally against batoning (like some hardliners). My rule of thumb is that it's ok to baton a log about half the size of the cutting edge (ie 3" for ESEE6). That should not damage the knife blade. Similarly with axes/hatchets, which would be fine at a static camp site, or in a nearby vehicle. Great for that. For carrying around, not so much. So, how to set up then? Firstly, as I said, is the saw (probably a Silky Gomboy, or Bigboy if weight is not an issue). This is not negotiable. Large knife: this is for the heavier work, much as you pointed out. (like a Cold Steel Trail Master, or Falkniven Modern Bowie, possibly a Becker BK9). Bushcraft knife: currently I favour the Victorinox Venture Pro, for those around camp knife chores. Multi-tool knife: Here I'd never be without my Victorinox Swiss Champ that I've carried for decades! In a more static environment, as I said, an axe would be useful, as would a drill brace and bits set. 7:28 Isn't this called beaver-chewing? With that technique one goes all around the tree, till it's thin enough to push over. 8:39 Shaving - isn't that more cutting/carving than shaving? Shaving would be more like making feathersticks, I think. 9:38 "Say you need to kill a bear?" Wow! That would be quite a challenge! Personally, I think I'd be MUCH better off with my Trail Master, with all due respect. But I do think the rabbit bit the dust! A last comment - I personally don't like coatings! But without a coating 1095 rusts so fast you can almost hear it chewing away. My knives tend to be more rust resistant steels. Well, thanks for the video and comments welcome!

However you use it, the E6 is the single best general use knife I own, of all brands, designs, and steels. And I have about 150 different blades from Esee, Tops, Cold Steel, Kabar, Morakniv, Condor T&K, etc. In read world use, my Esee 6 beats them all in the way that it works, carries, and handles so seamlessly that you just don’t worry about it, other than re-sharpening and drying/oiling to maintain it, like all carbon steel. It feels like an extension of my arm when I use it, especially with the 3D handle scales, whether Esee’s or TKC’s. That no-questions-asked, lifetime replacement warranty makes it the single best survival/field/woods knife value on the market.
