Benchmade Arvensis vs ESEE Knives ESEE-6P Knife w/ Coyote Brown Sheath

I just want to mention. Obviously this is made in the USA being benchmade 354 dollars 95 from Nebo nice here in Australia is where I bought this one f...

Just not that hair splitting edge that I like. Nothing a quick trip to the leather can’t fix. Although. For a knife that I plan on doing some chopping with I’m not sure if I want to get it to that point

Sheath did not come with belt attachment . Handle is a little small and short for me. In fairness it was designed as a all purpose not specific to one task .that said I liked the handle while processing my buck

Knife feels like it is of real quality but the handle has an odor that is absolutely awful. Smells so toxic. Very displeased that the prop 65 warning was not mentioned anywhere on amazon. WARNING contains lead, vanadium, sulfur, nickel and chromium

It's very comfortable in my hand and at about 6.5" is perfect for my EDC. I'm 6'6", 200lbs and tend to opt for gear that average sized guys would pass on. The only flaw is the sheath

My main problem was the sheath, the sheath came in dented and as a result, it was actually cutting into the handle. It was fist of all very difficult to pull out of the sheath and every time I did it took parts of the handle with it. I have enclosed some photos. The knife was pretty much stuck in the sheath and I feel like in an emergency situation, I would have to ask my attacker to give me a hand with trying to pull the knife out first

You'Ve got these two little Clips down here if they push the tabs in and then pull up on the clip and that's how it comes off. That's what looks like ...

ON TOP of that the sheath actually damages your grips where they meet near the finger cut out. -2 stars for a knife that costs you 100+ dollars but comes with a knife shaped plastic cover to protect it while slightly damaging your high end grips? This needs attention.

if the replacement comes new as it should and without loose scales, it will be a keeper and for sure 4/5. Replacement Arrived: Its better. The hollow pins on this one doesn't just push out with hand force

BUT if you taje proler care of your blade, they won't rust. I shoukd know. I own several types of blades from Katanas and Highland Basket Hilt Broad Swords to axes and Scottish Dirks to name a few.

So, overall guys I mean a fantastic ski for the price point, you're getting a great sheet and really no need to upgrade, and you can kind of tweak the...

I checked up with ESEE prior to this purchase and while not listed with ESEE, they are a legit reseller. I opted for the purchase here due to free shipping and a slightly less purchase price..
