Hey everyone, the giveaway is closed Dan Wilder is our random winner. Thank you all for participating and for your support!

[@wallytaggart2612]

congratulations Dan Wilder...you big jerk!!! :D

[@darthblade2016]

Congrats Dan...much as I hate to say it, haha. Thanks again for honest and entertaining content Aaron!

[@trapperscout2046]

This knife is very reminiscent of an 18th century Trade Knife. As far as aesthetics go, I think it looks better than the original esee 6.

[@RandallsAdventureESEE]

Awesome in-depth review....thanks for the hard work! Our injection molded sheaths are not as temperature sensitive (hot/cold) as kydex.

[@gideonstactical]

Thank you very much, that is what I thought and I hope I communicated that properly.

[@peachfuds]

I prefer the injection molded sheath as I live in a hotter environment. Kydex tends to melt to guns/knives when heated up, and that is a problem. I'm happy with the decision to do injection mold sheaths.

[@crocogator569]

I would pair the ESEE 6 with my Granfors Bruks small forest ax. Great video!

[@elwoodgonzales5719]

I was a volunteer on a search for a missing child last year and ended up trekking through a variety of challenging terrain, from rural neighborhoods to thick wooded areas. The two most useful tools I took were my ESEE 6 (TKC customized) and a Streamlight Pro Tac HL. I used my knife to cut my way through some seriously thorny vines, while my flashlight was invaluable when searching under crawl spaces and in dark sheds. Illumination is maybe even more important when camping, as there always seem to be tasks that require two hands and a headlamp, long after darkness has fallen. So, I would definitely pair up the ESEE 6 HM with a good quality flashlight or headlamp.

[@Amyguzman773]

Did you guys ever find the missing child?

[@informedcitizen8687]

I think the Esse Junglas would make an excellent compliment to the 6HM. One to handle all the chopping and splitting and the other for finer cutting chores. Plus the look like a matching set.

[@BrentonCarr]

Thanks for doing this. I've had my eye on all the hm series knives. I'd probably pair the esee 6 hm with my Leatherman when camping.

[@JepsOutdoorAdventures]

AWESOME! Thank you for the opportunity. I would pair it with my small EDC hunting knife prototype. Thanks again! Atb, Jep

[@almusquotch9872]

I would pair it with a Swiss army knife, because of the versatility .

[@woodsmanwhitesmith6928]

i would pair it with a Ruger 10/22 ............it's squirrel season here !

[@kevingilbert2394]

For my hunting and camping needs, I would pair the 6 HM with my Esee Izula II. My idea would be to use the Izula for my fine tasks such as feather sticks and game processing and the 6 HM for all the bigger chores around the camp. Thanks for all your great videos! I have put together quite a collection of blades and gear from your recommendation s. Keep up the good work brother!

[@Bladeshed]

Great review Aaron, and a great camping,around the fire knife. I would pair it up with my leatherman wave , and a nice leather belt which I am planning on buying. Camping with the kids is just so rewarding for all.

[@mattbaumannmusic]

For camping? I’d pair it with my Bahco Laplander. Thanks!

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk9055]

I would pair with my Coghlan's 180 Sierra Folding Saw. Thanks for chance to win.

[@charliebravo8036]

The Esee 6HM, plus the Worksharp Field Sharpener you did a review on. Great combo with any of my field tools. Great videos!!

[@tueroluis]

Thanks for the opportunity! And I would pair it with a folding saw saw for bigger cutting jobs and the HM for finer work!

[@vargusf50]

I think you would have to pair the HM with a folding saw.

[@glbwoodsbum2567]

You would for both.

[@Funkmasterphat]

I’d pair it with a fire steel so I could light the wood I just chopped!

[@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394]

I would probably pair it with my Ozark Trail folding saw. Thank you so much for this great opportunity I have wanted to get an esee 6 for a long time and I just can't afford it and it would be so great to take on my church camping trip thank you again for the opportunity God bless you and your family

[@VT2NY]

Looks like a fantastic knife. Great to see ESEE release an HM line 6. If I went on a camping trip, I would pair an ESEE 3 with the ESEE 6 HM. I would also bring a folder (probably my PM2 or Crooked River). I would probably also bring my Leatherman Sidekick, which happens to have a petty reliable saw on it for its size.

[@jean-baptistecardamone7775]

Esee 6HM and a fiskars hachette or the Mora Robust probably

[@danwilder7945]

If got to go with a folding saw pairing, more than likely my Silky Gomboy.

[@gideonstactical]

Hello Dan, Congrats you are the random winner! You have 24 hours to email me at [e-mail]

[@danwilder7945]

Sent you an email. Yea!

[@seanmaher1789]

I would definitely go with a folding saw. It's lightweight, efficient and pairs nicely with a great blade like an ESEE 6. My Bahco is always in my pack and so far hasn't let me down.

[@ericj1500]

I have an old fashioned hatchet that I absolutely love and is my go to for camping and goes everywhere I go thats just me. Thanks for sharing friend.

[@Lazydogsleep]

I would pair it with a beautiful woman, I get lonely in the woods.

[@Tank35]

The esee 6 hm definitely reminds me of Dave Canterburys Pathfinder knives and I really dig that a lot. I would pair it up with a bow saw either folding or non-folding.

[@photoboy154]

Aside from my admittedly excessive EDC (which contains a Wazoo Cache Belt fully loaded with the Adventure Kit, a Leatherman Charge, Olight S2R, Spyderco Paramilitary 2, Schrade survival pen, Zippo with Thurnderbird torch insert, Rite in the Rain Notebook, cotton bandana, Cassio Pro Trek watch, Leatherman Tread bracelet, and 10’ 550 parachord bracelet)... I would carry my Schrade SCAXE2L for larger chopping tasks.

[@mistersmith3986]

BAM! YOU WIN!!!!

[@tootall3396]

Well played sir......we have a winner

[@southerncomfort9691]

I dont. My woman loves an adventure. I still sometimes have to hold her purse at the mall. But she always keeps candy in it for me! As I rifle through it.

[@kaizoebara]

I'd pair it up with a tomahawk, cause I'm classy like that. XD

[@tomastrojan1412]

Thanks for your videos! Esee 6 is a little larger blade then I usually use, so I would pair it with smaller pocket knife (and use it mostly for food preparation)

[@eds9832]

Thanks for the great comparison review Aaron. Since the HM appears to be best suited for finer Bushcraft tasks, I would pair it in most situations that I encounter with a folding saw over a hatchet (although that would also be a good pairing).

[@poulson821751]

I'd pair it with a glock 19. Never leave home without it.

[@seanadams2391]

Hey Aaron, for backpacking (assuming a firesteel is already present) I'd pair it with a Silky or Bahco folder since this particular Esee is not the best chopper. Super light weight option for bucking up those thicker 3"-4" branches for some light batoning.

[@nova5067]

So I'm a SERE Specialist working at the Air Force Survival School at Fairchild AFB and I have been using the ESEE 6 for a while as my preferred knife. I would probably choose to pair a fixed blade saw like an ARS Pruning Saw with the 6 (or HM) just based on the function of what I do out there on a monthly basis in the forest. I love my 6 but I would definitely be interested in taking the HM for a spin to see if my fire craft improves at all. Thanks for the video!

[@kyleschumacher7184]

Love your videos as always. I'd pair it with a nice hatchet. Have fun camping without getting too crazy.

[@richardfarrerii3058]

For camping, thats actually a pretty hard question. The Esee 6HM I would probably use for more heavy duty stuff and bushcraft, paired with a Leatherman Signal for lighter duty, fire starting, etc. Great video, and good luck to everybody.

[@sharpwenger9509]

Thanks for another great review. Depending on my situation, I would pair it with a folding saw or with one of my 13 inch curved saws with a sheath. Here in the eastern woodlands of the U.S. those two items should cover most needs for our weekend family camping trips. Even clean drinking water if necessary, from trees or large vines growing in the trees.

[@michielschoenmakers7290]

Just received my first Esee knife, a CR2.5. I think the two would make a phenomenal combination!

[@SlimDiesel3]

Another great video brother. I’d pair this with a laplander and my fire kit for overnight and long camping trips. I usually carry a 5-6 in fixed blade every day so then it would be paired with one of my multi tools.

[@chikafreak]

I would definitely pair it with the Laplander folding saw. I'm so tempted to get a hatchet or tomahawk but you can't beat the weight of a folding saw. Thanks for offering this giveaway to your subscribers!

[@parkertilson6437]

Thanks for the chance to win and I would pair it with my cold steel trail hawk. It’s my favorite little chopper

[@gilgamesh3113]

Definitely pair it with the silky Pocket boy. With the two of those I feel like I could do whatever I needed to, to stay alive! Great video Aaron (as usual!) Keep them coming!!

[@philp411]

At first, I struggled between 2 different option but when I considered your question specifically (camping) it was a bit easier to select the companion I would bring with an ESEE 6: a Glock entrenching tool. Adjustable for angle and having a saw built into the handle, this light weight tool offers a lot of utility. Great vid as always!

[@jakerodey5554]

I would pair it with my tops TFK. Absolutely love the TFK. Thanks for the GA Aaron.

[@evananderson1753]

I'd pair it with my buck 110 and love of the outdoors. Sounds like an amazing time with an amazing set of knives.

[@MBraun-gr8ye]

Thanks for yet another great video! I'm a fan of people who know what they're talking about when it comes to knives. You convinced me to pick up a ESEE6 today. So, even if I don't win your competition, I'll have a new knife.I would pair the ESEE6 with either my Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 or my Council Tool 24" pack axe.Thanks again!

[@Tom-kk1zu]

Great looking knife! I would pair it with the mora companion for weekend camping! If I was going to be out roughing it then probably would go with the laplander. I go on a two night camping trip with my brothers and friends every year. Thanks for all the videos. Keep it up.

[@sopwithcamelus]

I love the HM series. Reminds me of a modern French trade knife on steroids. I don't miss the jimping a bit. Can't wait to see what else ESEE puts out. Would love to see the Xancudo without orange scales. I'd definitely pick one up.

[@keithberry7014]

For camping I would pair the Esse 6 HM with a Leatherman such as the sidekick. That would give me all the tools to do most camp related tasks

[@rdfvl]

Hi, thankyou for the oportunity, I would use my gerber myth folding saw, thanx for your reviews

[@paulaustin1234]

Hi Aaron- thanks for all the great videos you have produced. I would pair a Mora Kansbol with the Esse 6 HM. I think they wold make a great wilderness team!

[@jermlac]

I really like the broom handle design of the HM. To carry this knife out, I would pair it up with my Leatherman Charge. This style and size knife brings a lot of capability to any load out.

[@troywhittle9197]

Esee 6HM and a Silky Pocketboy 170. A great all round combination for what I do. Love the video and channel mate. Cheers.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

I would pair my ESSEE6 HM with an military shovel. One tuse for when i do my duty and the other for survival. Thanks for showing thesis awesome knives and keep up the great content bro.

[@darthblade2016]

I would pair it with a fire kit, because my two favorite things to do on a camping trip are playing with knives and playing with fire (responsibly of course). I can usually find downed trees and branches where i camp, so the ESEE 6/6HM would be enough to help my prep my tinder and then my fire kit would get the campfire started.

[@davidmace3310]

Sweet vid ! Thx for doing comparison review. After much deliberation I will get original esee 6 but appreciate all the info about the hm.

[@calvindillard9819]

Thanks for all your videos! I carry a axe or hatchet but I live in the PNW . Timber country!

[@jmcarter42]

I would pair it with a Tops El Chete. Thanks for all the videos and advice, GT. Keep them coming!

[@kevotoolz6158]

I would pair this up with easily fixed blade or my camp axe. Great vid love the honesty

[@calvindillard9819]

I purchased the Tops lite traveler based on your video and I love it thanks!

[@elwha6025]

Great analysis and comparison and I agree with your conclusions. That said, if all you had was the 6HM you'd be just fine. All of the HM models are sweet.

[@davidwatchesyoutube]

For my typical camping, I would pair it with my Cold Steel Trail Boss. Great video!

[@jeepnicc]

Sweet knife. Love the new kydex sheath too!! I would pair it with a nice big firesteel!

[@MonkeyNAround]

I would pair it with one of my absolute favorite pieces of gear. I purchased a Camillus Hatchet, Knife and Folding Saw kit years ago for a present. I really like the kit and decided to buy one for myself. The knife and hatchet are good, but the saw is small and compact but absolutely a beast. I have used it on several trips for the last few years and it has never let me down. I always carry my saw on every trip and use and abuse it. This knife would make a good addition to my pack. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

[@aelsic]

Thank you! I would pair mine with the Leatherman Surge.

[@jeffsmith6441]

Awesome! Thanks for the chance! I would pair it with a saw!

[@dglantz10]

Great review. I would pair it with my Gerber multi tool. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@Brittbrothers2]

I would pair the ESEE 6HM with a nice folding saw and my SOG Seal Pup. Thanks for the videos Aaron!

[@prairiestatepatriots]

Thank you for the great video. I already have an esee 6 but this solidified my decision to buy the 6hm.

[@jb4950]

I would pair it with a Bahco Laplander saw, I known others prefer other saws, though using the 4hm with the Bahco on the AT it’s a saw that has proven worthy for myself and others my family hikes with. Thank you for the videos you provide always giving me new ideas on how to spend money. :)

[@gregstone4835]

I would pair it with my Bradford Knives Guardian 3.5. Thanks for the GAW and great content.

[@InconvenientKingdom]

I would pair it with my Gransfors Bruks wildlife hatchet. Keep the great vids coming!

[@dbmurch]

I would pair the 6HM with a Cold Steel Pipehawk. Love your channel and thanks for sharing all this information.

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

I think I would pair it with my Bacho laplander and Huscaarna hatchet. Seems like an awesome knife!

[@celmer634]

I would pair it with the cold steel trail hawk! Love my eese 4, but would love this knife!! Thank you for the opportunity!

[@jmc8069]

Aaron, thank you for your reviews. I have purchased this knife because of your review. I am a big ESEE fan. I like that they are made in the USA. Thank you and God bless.

[@williampippin4392]

I would pair it with my Kershaw Camp 18.. I think they would make a nice compliment to each other. Thanks for the chance to see these great knives in action

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Thanks for the GAW, Aaron. I'd pair it with a Folding Saw, because why expend so much extra Energy in Chopping? Thanks again and Take Care.

[@Gunny_101st]

I would pair it with my Cold Steel Drop Forged Hunter, which was also a recommendation by you. Would take my son out camping one last time before leaves for college then give it to him to use in his future outings.

[@richroc7]

I would pair my Bark River Bushcrafter, tough choice because there are a few other survival items that I would like to have but I think those two would pair nicely. Thank you for the chance to win!

[@davidwolicki3684]

i would pair it with small hatchet. the two tools would make a wonderful team for around the camp tasks.

[@308tmack]

Great review👍🏼!!!! I would pair it with a hatchet for sure and then would be all set.

[@FalconBushcraft]

I prefer the fixed blade and folding saw combo. Easy to pack around and takes up minimal space. Would love to give the 6hm a try! Love esee.

[@mattglover5974]

I've had an Esee Junglas for a while now and I feel like this would be the perfect companion for the "wilderness king". Like you said I think it would be the perfect around the camp knife.

[@bradleyfiegel4961]

I would pair this knife with a large chopper. Very useful for camp tasks, but lacking in the chipping department makes me pick a chopper. Good video. Keep up the good work!

[@AmishReject]

I would pair it with a nice folding saw, and my daughters. One helps with wood processing and the other help with having a good time.

[@Slyder2828]

Thank you! I would pair it with a small Silky saw.

[@austinfailner6345]

I would use it while backpacking and as a general camp knife. Me personally? I think I would pair it with my standard Esee 3 or a Benchmade Bugout, depending on the needs of the trip. Thanks for another valuable data point! Keep the good work coming!

[@enpemar]

ESEE 6 HM is all I need! But I pair it with a Laplander saw. Thanks Aaron.

[@helamcasey7828]

Oct 10th is my birthday! Maybe it’ll be a lucky one haha. 🤙🏾 I would pair with a Silky Zubat saw. (I would also consider a DTK OG Grizzly or Kodiak) Also mahalo for introducing me to not only the ESEE 6 but also the knife connection years ago. After that review if the knife connection I decided to finely pull the trigger on buying my first ESEE. Also I was/am super into DTK (also thanks to you) so just the fact that Peter Kohler had an ESEE 6 made it so much cooler and I needed one as well 🤣.

[@jsbadger]

I would pair it up with my Gerber gator machete for wood processing, and for finer tasks around the campfire. Thank you for the side by side comparison of these two. I would certainly put it to good use!

[@brutus1352]

I would pair it with my Counsel Tool Hudson Bay axe. Great review. Never owned an Esee, but am now considering trying one out.

[@m.collapso9806]

I would pair it with my Gransfors Bruks hunters axe or maybe my Silky Gomboy folding saw. Love the channel and your reviews.

[@timturrell1241]

I would add this to my 5.11 all-hazards nitro backpack that I use on my day hikes. That pack contains an EDC pouch with and old school SOG multitool. I think they would work great together for my hikes.

[@DanielDavis-nv7wy]

My leather man Rebar! Small folding blade, saw, can opener etc. Great pair i think.

[@neddmoulton1]

I would pair it with a silky Bigboy. Thanks for the video and the GA!

[@burritojoe69]

I would pair it with a bahco laplander and a cold brew. Keep up the good work Aaron!!

[@chrisvandergriff]

Thank you for the opportunity. I'd probably pair it wit a Silky Sogawaza, which most likely be my next saw purchase.

[@ToonMoonen]

I would pair it with my mora kansbol. Great set up right there for any situation.

[@jackitfast]

My edc is a Spyderco and that Eder 6 would be great for my pack or edc as well. Nice looking knife see why it’s your favorite.

[@cjvilb]

I already own an izula 2. I love the limited EDC capabilities of the izula 2. My 9 year old son has been learning how to make fire sticks with it. I think I'm ready to pair it with a larger high quality knife like this. I thank you for this opportunity to win.

[@petey445]

I would pair it with my Agawa folding buck saw when I'm in the bush... thanks for the opportunity

[@PaulinoMartinezLagunes]

Thank you for the great reviews! I would pair ir with a Victorinox Ranger Grip 78. Kind regards,
