ESEE Knives ESEE-4P Fixed Blade Knife

I’ll start off by mentioning that I am experienced with knives, and have some adept experience using them for “bushcraft” and camping. I am no expert by any means, but I know what I want in a knife, and I know when I’ve got one that suits my needs. I could not possibly begin to tell you how badly I ...

To be honest, I expected a lot more from this knife. It's good, but I wouldn't call it awesome. I've been using lower priced knives for a while and wanted to upgrade from my Mora collection to something made in the US our if higher carbon steel. This one is definitely more robust than those, but it ...

I read a lot of reviews here and elsewhere before purchasing this knife. Some were wild in their praise of it while others were highly critical. I'll try to take a middle road here.

Pros:

Its beefy enough without being too heavy.

Its a flat ground blade. Scandi grinds are good for use on wood but do...

I dig the knife, it has held up with everything I have thrown it at, and thrown at it. It has good steel, and I really like the grip. the issues I have with it is the powder coat on the blade, its not a great color to begin with, I wish it was black also it inhibits feather sticking and batoning. I ...

Thus knife would be great if not for the handle. Its narrow and square and will run holes in your hand unless you are wearing gloves or have smaller hands. The only way to hold comfortably is when using the choil, which for my hands puts my index finger on the sharpened portion of the blade. The tra...

Potentially great knife but ergonomics are terrible. If you have small or medium hands maybe it will fit you. If large or bigger the handle is way too short and too thin, very uncomfortable to hold. Sheath left black marks on the handle. Wanted so much to like it but disappointed.

From the pictures, it looks like there is some flexibility in how the clip is mounted, but that is not the case. It can only be mounted in a vertical position, which which was not my intention with this knife. Returned it and am on the hunt for a different knife.

I like the knife but the sheath doesn't have a belt hold. The clip is ok but not good for retention. Unless you use Paracord to secure it not sure what esee expects. Others have said to put it between your belt and pants.

LOVED this knife but lost it, left it on my car bumper n drove off, friggin heart broken. I bought it to use in the woods, but it didn't perform as well as I had hoped. I think the handle is to blame, can't do much with it.

But the knife itself is is a tank. I don't think you could break it unless ...

This is an outstanding knife. However, there are pros and cons as with any knife. First let me start with the good. The steel is virtually indestructible and the heat treat is amazing. The coating is by far one of the best I've ever seen, it is extremely durable and long lasting. The knife came hair...
