ESEE Knives ESEE-6PDE-001 Fixed Blade Knife Black 3D vs ESEE Knives ESEE-5S Knife Tactical Survival Fixed

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

This knife came super dull. Waiting to take it to a blade smith to get it redone. Overall it is not an impressive knife. Giving Esse a try and i was not impressed

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.

Excellent construction. A very hefty blade - full tang. The blade coating seems very durable - like an epoxy. The sheath is very good too, but I wish that these would come standard with the Blade-Tech belt bracket

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

This thing is wicked heavy and solid and bigger then I thought but is still a well balanced knife just heavy ... kinda wish I got a smaller version Deffinatley not an edc not like for camping or hunting or survival mode compared to the jeo tech which is light enough to to carry but probly wouldn’t handle much of the work in those environments

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.

I found it with the Esee 5P. Took it to the woods for a three day backpacking trip to put it through its paces to see how it would hold up. Blew my expectations out of the water. Baton wood, chop wood, cut paths and trails

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..

However, it is hard to imagine breaking this tank of a knife. I had ordered a BK2 just because, but returned it because I was not up to ordering micarta handles and a kydex sheath as I have for my other Becker knives; plus there was no use for it other than adding to my knife collection. In all this is a great knife and worth every penny.

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

The sheath is great. Now need to test it out. It really feels like a survival knife and not a bushcraft small detailing like my garberg mora carbon. But this will be my heavy chopping instead of a axe

Great grip. Very sharp out of the box. Perfect weight. Some people are complaining about the sheath, but I like it - it feels very secure when worn with a thick leather belt

I own 2 other ESEE knives (4" and 6") and love them both, but this monstrosity with its 1/4 inch thick blade is more like a hatchet or a pry bar than a knife. It's too heavy for practical carry in the woods and I do just fine with my other knives if I need to chop kindling, so no need to use or carry a big wedge of steel like this.
