I have the 6 and have been using it almost daily for the last 6 years, it is amazing

One for every year eh? Just jealous because I can't hold a toothpick in my country without getting nicked..🇬🇧

[@StevenKeery]

@@marcfarrant8791 : Not quite true as you are aware. It depends on where and why you are carrying it. On a camping trip it shouldn't be a problem. In a pub or cinema, you have no need of a knife, unless you plan on stabbing someone.

[@camohawk6703]

That steel has to be fucking magic. No way the heat treatment is that fucking good without it.

[@dolguldur4706]

Esee,kbar,tops 1095 always performed better..they know the secret of the heat treatment for 1095 to make use to maximum

[@ggmanatee]

​@Dol Guldur TOPS also does a differential heat treat so the edge holds spectacularly well while the spine of the blade is tougher so you can baton without it breaking. Heat treat on 1095 makes a world of difference.

@@ggmanatee yeah..i say that in my comment,esee kbar & tops

[@ggmanatee]

@@dolguldur4706 right, just adding additional info.

[@AlexanderMason1]

@@dolguldur4706I mean 1095 steel is pretty easy to heat treat. As a matter of fact it’s one of the easiest steels to treat treat. Somehow though some companies still manage to f this up,especially the Chinese manufacturers. And what I’ve noticed is that no matter how much money you spend and how good the craftsmanship is the Chinese are completely clueless about steel and how to heat treat it. They’ll use m390 and temper it to hrc58. They’ll quench it in water to lol. Completely clueless.

[@vanemaster4345]

There's a bigger version of this, the Esee 6. Whyoncha test that one?

[@ZootyZoFo]

I use my ESEE 4 as a companion knife with the ESEE Junglas, both of these together cover everything I need to do really well.

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

Nice combo I have a 4 with my junglas and a azula with my 6

[@DanielGloverTheGreat]

I have the ESEE-5 and I've beat the hell out of it and it's still perfect. I even used the intended bow drill pocket in the grips to start a fire. Works wonderfully.

[@bullridermusic2054]

Me too, but not used for fire starting, not as good as you. Did you know the Esee 5 weighs a full pound! 😂 I love batoning with it.

[@dylanbennett958]

HUGE ESEE FAN!! Absolutely love all there blades in all shapes and styles. In all honesty you could purchase like 3 different sizes and get something like a spyderco pm2 of benchmade griptillian for the pocket and not need anything else. I’ve got one esee blade strictly dedicated to my cooking kit. One that I keep on my belt and a good medium sized one (forget the name) in my back for cutting wood, carving things out of wood etc etc… also depending on where I’m doing I bring a hatchet or machete. Yeah I stay with that HEAT on me at all times. My one homie has been trying to talk me into the whole neck knife gimmick but ever since I got that small mini esee knife that I can wear sideways along side my belt where nobody can even detect it along with whatever blade I’m keeping in my pocket for that day it makes for a great combo.

[@seanwhite304]

Esee 4 with Extended Grips , Esee 6 and Bark River Bravo 1 are my 3 favorite hatd usage blades. I've been using Esee 4 for 10 years now

[@NotYourSuperManCAS]

I've had my ESEE 4 going on 8 years and I've never had an issue. Have to oil it every now and then to prevent rust since the coating is completely off the blade, but I'm just too lazy to recoat the girl. I like the character

[@luci-kl8eb]

Keep it that way nothing better a knife with some wear and tear

[@lcm7541]

I have the 4 and it’s definitely the first knife I’ll trust my life to. Would love to get the 6 eventually however.

[@YPEDC]

Esee is my top favorite fixed blade brand. I carry my 3 almost every day

[@simply_based]

I have one of these behind the cummerbund on my plate carrier, my favorite knife so far

[@maximeb190]

Esee knives seem legit af.

[@TheRangaTanGaming]

They should be, they come with a lifetime, no-questions-asked warranty. And for what you get you’re not actually paying some god awful amount like a grand for a four inch blade. That one I think only costs $130AUD last I checked

[@tinkywinky4449]

​@@TheRangaTanGamingThat's incredible! What an amazing company.

[@dininelbourne]

@@tinkywinky4449 , no joke. I saw someone post on ESEE's FB page that their knife unknowingly fell into a fire overnight and was found in the morning completely fucked. The guy wasn't going to try for the warranty since it was his mistake until ESEE themselves told him nope, send it in.

[@RaptureThis]

I just got the ESEE 4 yesterday. Black coated blade, serrated, graphite linen scales, black Kydex sheath. Totally dig it! Feels great in my hand. I carry the ESEE 4 scout style on my back side, right hand draw. The only bummer is that I was only able to use two of the four mounting screws to attach the sheath to the belt clip for a scout mount. Still feels solid on my belt and draws great. It had to be mounted with the handle slightly up but the weight of the total assembly draws the handle down nearly parallel to my belt -- so no worries. I also have an ESEE Izula 2 that I scout mount on my front belt with a left hand draw. I "identify" as a wood-chipper, so I'm LARPing every day now.

[@edanpino-xt1ph]

I’m not surprised. I have a RAT-7, and while the companies are different, it’s basically an Esee-6 as far as I can tell. And that thing batoned through a nail on accident, so I think that the basic carbon steel on it is more than strong enough

[@fyrebugg9354]

I have the 6 with aftermarket g10 scales. It's seen a lot of use and still looks new. I have had it for 8 years now. Great knife. Stripping off the coating on the blade made a significant difference in the way it performed. Tough knife and it holds a good edge.

[@fyrebugg9354]

@@JordanMac79 i used a spray on chemical paint remover. Yes it will scrape a rod but I had to sharpen the spine.

[@Goldo97]

Bro just saw your throwing hatchet and it’s the only design I’ve seen that makes sense

[@bullridermusic2054]

Well Craigslist $90 Esee-5 lightly used, I batoned a bit with it, but not heavily used at all. I'm out of Milwaukee though.

[@ciaranhellsing9336]

Just bought this knife a bit small in the hand like you said, but for what I wanted, it'll do. Love the content!

[@danielhill7149]

1095 is a great steel choice for any fixed blade. Not very corrosion resistant but it is tougher than hell as seen in the video. The upgraded version would essentially be 154cm in terms of corrosion resistance

[@sieve5]

154cm, good to know

Great thing about ESEE, you've got a lifetime guarantee that IF you manage to break one of their knives they'll replace it free with zero questions asked. You could seriously use the knife as a crowbar and they wouldn't say shit. The heat treatment is fantastic and they're tough as nails. I've got a 6 myself but have been thinking about picking up a 4 for daily carry.
