So many of these KZbin knife reviews are some guy sitting in a nicely lit studio talking to a camera. Thank you for making content that is not only way more fun and interesting...but also using the knives in ways that truly test them. Not just cutting paper in a studio. Glad I found this channel.

[@Phaminator525]

Facts. I’m so tired of seeing Taylor Martin or Metal Complex trying to give reviews when they literally don’t use their knives. They have knives they call “safe queens “ 😂. And their excuse for not using their knives is “use the right tool for the right job “ which in their mind a knife is only supposed to be used to cut tape 😂

Oh no! I remember unboxing the A1. Maarten cut me with it by pulling it out of the sheath the very first time. Followed by me hitting my f1 on Tiles, followed by maarten cutting himself stopping the knife with his fingerbone. We’ve come a long way since then!

Hey guys , I decided to buy a Condor after many years of not buying from them. I bought the Trivitatta Puukko....I reviewed it on my little channel if ya want to see it . I think it's a knife that should be reviewed by you guys. It has an awesome handle and geometry and it's 1095hc . It seems to hold a good edge or typical for 1095hc. I basically feel like it's the design that you guys will really like ....So comfy in hand I love it. The sheath is kinda cool also ...anyways guys . Awesome vid as usual , love the musical Martin 🤣

It's very cool that Esee gives its customer choices in the blade steel. Bravo. Unlike other lazy-ass companies (e.g. Tops).

[@Xandrosi]

Really interesting KZbin. Your comment about a potential change to the heat treatment is what I was thinking. Then you mentioned a change to the blade geometry. Initially, when ESEE began making this in S35VN, they asserted that it was harder to sharpen and more brittle ... or at least that's what I took away from it. They thought of the S35VN version as a gimmick. From this KZbin, the adjustments they've obviously made have really resulted in improvements. Any insights into what they've actually done and how to identify one of these superior ESEE 4's would be appreciated.

[@klausheisler5014]

Esee 4hm & laser strike are my personal favorite esee blades. (with knife connection scales) Just not a fan of the standard esee 4 handle.

Yet another entertaining and informative video. Thank you for another look at ESSE. I have the ESSE6 and can’t say that I love it as much as it was hyped. The flat scales are not comfortable. I could replace them with better scales, but I have other knives that I can use that come out of the box with much better handles. I will most likely make a new set of scales for my ESSE, but then the sheath won’t fit which means I’ll have to make a sheath too.

My esee 6 has the rounded scales, and I have no complains chopping up wood

[@JamesMBC]

I wish they would release an ESEE-4 in MagnaCut or CPM-3V. It's like Rowen insists on not giving the fans what they want, always being behind on steel. I still use my ESEE-4 in 1095 (3D handle) and it's fine for camping, but it's annoying to know I will never have premium steel on a knife shape and handle shape I love.

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

Ability of a knife to scape sparks from a firesteel is of minimal consideration, at best. If you have a firesteel, you ought to also have a dedicated scraper to go along with it, most likely on a cord attached to the handle of the firesteel itself. If you're in a true emergency and NEED to use a firesteel to stay alive, using the blade of the knife to start a fire to survive is not going to be a measured concern.

Why did you use an ESEE 6 for the pan and bone chopping, but used the old 4 for the rope cutting? If this is the 4 that you gave a bad review on a long time ago, I think it's safe to say that 4 is a lemon. If the 6 had no damage from a pan and bone, but the 4 was damaged from one rope cut, what else could it be?
