ESEE Knives ESEE-5PVG-007 Fixed Blade Knife vs Ka-Bar Bowie Full-Size Navy Knife Leather Sheath

This was the knife that led the way the esee 3 features a broad drop point blade with plenty of belly, which is kind of a hallmark of many of their de...

I had difficulty cutting a piece of notebook paper which is my test for blade sharpness. As a comparison, I've owned quite a few buck knives in my time and not one of them has gotten home and not been razor sharp. I have sharpen the ka-bar so it has that sharpness to it. Other than sharpness knifes like I remember it to be

Only ESEE puts out a product of this quality. Sharp out of the box, great kydex, yes kydex sheath. Fit and finish are perfect. I bought the FDE and it's a great color combo

It does come with a sturdy leather sheath but I went with the "package" option and got the hard knife sheath and sharpener. I prefer the hard sheath as it is more rigid and doesn't flap as much as the leather one when worn on the hip.

The 3D handles are a very nice comfort upgrade over the older slab side design. This knife is well worth the price of admission and the warranty is second to none. The ESEE-5 is my favorite of the entire lineup.

I wont purchase another KaBar product if this is the direction they're headed with their quality. I would avoid this knife. It is WAY overpriced for what you get. I have a knock off that is actually of higher quality

Super fine quality, seriously I can't say anything bad. Built like a hand tank, made for serious work and able to get it done. Holds a edge super, grip is crazy good, finish is very durable. Sheath fine and holds well

- The leather sheath that comes with this is stamped with the US Army logo and isn't as sturdy as the black leather sheath. It's great for display purposes though. (It will scratch fairly easily and is definitely more for show.) If you want to take it camping, I recommend you buy the plain leather sheath separately (or the black one) as they are more sturdy, and you won't care about beating them up

This knife is a definite work horse. Well worth the money. And 100% American made.👍👍👍🇺🇸

Ok about the knife itself...it is a KA-BAR made in the good Old US of A (few things are anymore sadly) (the sheath is made in Mexico but is very good quality leather it is well stitched and is stacked as well as having rivets for reinforcement) secondly it is very well balanced and the steel in these new ones are 1095 carbon steel High Quality easy to sharpen and holds an edge for a very long time
