Fallkniven F1 vs ESEE Knives ESEE-5P Knife

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...

This was my first big purchase as well as my first fixed blade. After weeks of watching YouTube videos review the esee 5 and it's competitors (usually pitted against the Becker bk2 but also compared to other 5" fixed knives) I decided to throw down the money for this knife. I cannot think of anything I don't like about this knife. This seems like the pinnacle of what a survival nice should be

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

The Rowen powder coat is phenomenally durable. A great deal of batoning has beaten the coat off the spine of my ESEE 3, but there is merely moderate wear along the side of the blade. Be ye not deceived; this is remarkably little wear in light of the abuse the ESEE 3 has taken. While I have been respectful of the cutting edge, I have otherwise been deliberately brutal so that I could report just how tough it is

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

This knife is pretty big it's a little too much for every day carry but for camping trips or other outdoor excursions I find it to be perfect size. Just the other day I was gutting some fish and when I went to cut the head off the handle of my kitchen knife snapped right off, I pulled out this knife and it worked like a champ. Yeah the $140 price is up their for just a knife but considering this thing will last longer than me it's worth the money.

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

SOLID LOCK! The sheath also has plenty features for teclocks, molle, and paracord. By far, this is one of my favorite fixed blades I use for every hike and camp trips.

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.

25 inches long, and is a full quarter-inch thick; the blade is a black powder coat that I haven’t been able to test yet, but I’m interested to know how durable it will be over years of use. This thing is heavy. It will cut down small trees and is a little more than I was anticipating. I’m thinking I should have went with the ESEE-4, but won’t be returning it (why return it when I can have both?!)

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

Compared to the similar Becker BK-2, the experience in hand with the ESEE 5 is significantly better. Better balance, handling, and better OEM canvas Micarta scales. Superior handling to the BK-2 with the Becker after-market Micarta scales. Pluses for the ESEE 5: Better grip and handling, slightly better sheath, jimping on blade that BK-2 does not have (this is a significant difference)

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

Um. That really makes it prohibitive to wear something like this on your belt, your trousers belt, and on the even on a pistol belt. You need to be ve...
