The 1095 is not as brittle as the super steels, that’s why ESEE doesn’t offer anything larger than the 4 in S35VN. I have a 6 from before the contoured scales came into being. I don’t mind the original handle but I have the contoured handles on my newer ESEE knives and I like them a lot. Can’t go wrong with an ESEE 6! 👍

I have two Esse 4's and a 6. I have aprox. 80 knives but these are my favorites in their class. If I could only have one outdoor knife, this would be it.

Tip for the coating , 1000 grit sandpaper will smooth it out but leave the coating and file off an inch of the spine for a sharp 90 degree edge then patina with mustard or apple cider vinegar . if i get one of these i'm getting the "venom" green and i'll dull the blade edge right at the finger choil a safety at the spot would be best ...why they didn't think of that i don't know but , even schrade made a safer choil .

Now you’re talking! Serious fixed blades.. I’m yet to get this one but I love my Esee3 and 4 they’ve served me well outdoors so far! The Izula 2 always is a back up! More fixed blades Barry.. what’s next?

Yes, I plan on doing a review, which I'm pretty excited about on the Tops War Bowie, which I order today. I carry a Esee 3 in my pocket every day. Thanks for watching

The original handle is way better than contoured, which rolls in the hand. Have a great year and hope you sharpened that blade.

Remove the coating. The knife becomes far better! It cuts so much smoother. Just take care of it and rust is not a problem.

You may end up spending 50 bucks a pop and get 3 half decent disposable Chinese blades. Buy the esee once and have it ready to go to the grandkids.

Well go ahead and make your own knife and tell me how much it cost you to make. If it approaches the price of the ESSE and even halfway meets the quality of the Rowen heat treat, then you might have an argument. Until then you're just spitting more ignorance.

@@jamesbasaldua100 it's 150.00 USD with a lifetime no question warranty. No other knife offers that kind of warranty at that price point. It's practically a steal.
