ESEE Knives ESEE-4PB-017 Fixed Blade Knife Natural vs SOG Field Knife

YMMV. The blade is typical ROWAN, thick and solid.. I still don't get the Powder coat

Now the knife. I bought this for self defense, if ever needed it'll do the job intended. It doesn't come very sharp and in my opinion doesn't sharpen very well. Handle feels nice in the hand for intended purpose

They are like gripping a slippery hard piece of plastic. I have micarta handles on my other knives and am considering purchasing micarta handles for this ESEE 4 and ditching these 3D handles. These handles feel slippery to me leave a lot to be desired.

My first moment of opening this its sturdy so far. This item got delivered before the recommended Delivery Date.

The handle on the Esee 4 is ridiculously short. The sheath is fair, but for the price, it should be awesome. I might keep it to leave it in my truck and carry my Gerber Strongarm instead.

always a plus. The handle is the most comfortable design ive ever held, even though it could be longer by a half an inch. (I have large hands) The rubberized handle is very grippy, and a joy to work with. At 30 bucks its a true bargain ! SOG ! if youre listening, please take this exact design and enlarge it to a 5 and a half or 6 inch blade, with the handle expanded to 5 or 5 and a half inches

Used this knife to skin a buck. Knife did ok but dulls easy. The biggest thing is don't let sheath soak in soapy water to get inside clean. Thing will rust in a heart beat and think its bs for price of package

The blade is dull so get yourself a good sharpening stone to hone the blade. For the price, it's a good knife but the sheath is still very important.

Right away, the 1/4" blade stock lets you know this is a functional, practical tool that's not likely to let you down. It arrived out of the box sharp enough to shave my arm hair..

Had this Knife almost (1) year. Have not used it for any outdoor/ bush/ camping activities yet so can't rate on that. Just been sitting in my Diving Backpack and considering to use it in my Diving activities but don't know if the steel will hold up (won't rust). At 1st glance, the knife feels like it's a Young Boy's knife (still feel that way)

Sheath is plastic , snaps in very secure and access is very simple . All around great knife ,one of my favorites!

I love the sheath. The retention is perfect. The knife stays firmly in place and it's quick and easy to deploy. Doesn't feel stuck like some Schrades do with similar sheaths
