ESEE Knives ESEE-6PDE-001 Fixed Blade Knife Black 3D vs Fallkniven F1

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.

The bleed length is three point. Eight inches overall length, eight point: three inches. The thickness is a very generous four point: five millimeters...

I like that it is about 3/16" thick but, you know, there are other knives with very good blades for far cheaper. The thing that really takes it down 2 or 2.5 stars is that the handle scales are crap.

This feels Great in hand and the steel is a Solid mid range VG-10. Again I Know My Steels also. Solid Mid-Range is Great. Great story behind it also with the Swedish Air Force too! Not the big Monster everyone trips on

Unfortunately this was the second ESEE knife which I bought through Amazon (Amazon fulfillment) which was not impressively sharp out of the box. I know that is not such a big issue to some, but it is to me since I do not wish to start pouring labor into a $130 right out of the box. I am not opposed to taking simple steps such as stropping and using some light oil but if I am in doubt about whether to keep or to return, I do not wish to use sharpening stones right out of the box! I test my knives giving them the simple paper cutting tasks plus cutting other types of paper such as wax paper and junk mail coupon type papers. I would like to see the blade to have a razor sharp edge out of the box by going through these types of paper without much effort

That kind of holds a knife from the interim and it's got a really positive nylon, strap that goes across it. I just really like. It is a little bit ra...

and it's thick. You can wack this this thing with all manners of other, harder things and I'm pretty sure it will come out on top. Whether you're skinning an animal, cutting down a tree or even digging a hole with it. I have no doubt that this thing will outlast you

i beat on it all weekend long ( batoning, shaving, carving, and even small to medium chopping) and it passed every test at the campsite. holds its edge well as i have not needed to sharpen yet. the only complaint, and it doesnt bother me much at all, is that it does not stay in the sheath when opened and held upside down. the slightest of shakes and the blade fell out ( watch out for your toes if you try this test!), otherwise i love this little knife have recommended it to a few friends

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..

Great all-around knife! Decent price for a laminated Steel! Checkout lionsteel M4 from Italy. I consider this to be the best quality of all knives I've seen so far. It's made with m390 super steel! Which I consider one of the best super steals out there and the price is unbeatable. I own both and you can't go wrong with either one

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 leather sheath that came with it is top quality leather and well made. Just go out and buy it, you will not be disappointed, its well worth the money

I owned an esee 5 before this knife, and it was hands down the best knife I've ever owned. I did however decide I wanted something very durable but also lighter weight. The blade of the six is a full inch longer and the knife considerably lighter. It may not be as bomb proof as the 5, but it's more durable than most production knives out on the market hands down

Good weight and fits in the hand perfectly. Its a full tang knife and the convex blade it hair splitting sharp. If your looking for a bushcraft knife, a whittling knife or a do it all handheld knife look no further than this excellent vg10 blade.
