ESEE Knives 6P Fixed Blade Knife w/Molded Polymer Sheath (Black Blade/Black Sheath)

If you've been thinking about buying the Esee 6, wait no longer. I wrestled with spending what I did for it, but once I held it in my hand, I immediately felt like a got a wonderful deal. You can tell that there is a tremendous amount of thought placed on the quality control over at Esee. The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, it has almost perfect balance, and feels amazing in hand.From a performance standpoint, the Esee 6 has a nice 5.75" cutting edge, with 6.5" of 1095 steel from handle to tip. It is 3/16" thick and sharp as a razor right out of the box. Given those specs, one can see that this blade was made for cutting stuff, and it does can well. I've made fire sticks, now drills and simple shelters with it, then turn around process a fish without a problem.I would consider this a wonderful "Jack of All Trades" knife. The way it was built gives you the ability to slide back on the handle, which transfers most of the knife weight forward, and generate more chopping power. Additionally, the design provides the ability to slide up on the handle, where you are shortening the blade at the center of weight distribution, which allows you to gain control of the blade for finer tasks.Their are knives out there for all walks of life and needs. I am 6'3", and wear a size XXL glove. This KnifeWorks well for me... I EDC the Esee 3, which was purchased as a result of how much I like the Esee 6, and it also feels great in hand and performs well.If I had to do over, I would have purchased this knife, from what looks like a typo above, a year ago when I first started thinking about it. It gets to go out and play every time I go, while all the other 9 knives stay home. Stay safe my friends!

It’s a ESEE, it has the best warranty in the business, and it’s made in America. You can buy a knife for a lot less but would you trust it with your life in the wilderness or pass it down to your kids or grandkids? Anybody can make a knife out of 1095 steel but the Rowen Factory’s heat treat is second to none and that is really worth the extra bucks.The knife is beautiful but not so much that you are afraid to use it. ESEE knives are made to be used not displayed. You can watch the torture tests online and see for yourself. If I could only have one knife it would be the ESEE 6. There are many good knives out there in this price range but the 6 has a finger choil where some of the others do not. I personally prefer this feature for more detailed work with the knife. Most ESEE knives are carbon steel so if you are lazy about maintenance and can’t keep the blade clean and oiled you would be better off with a stainless steel knife.The Micarta scales are nice and durable but they do hold dirt and oil more than wood or nylon and they are harder to keep clean.The sheath that came with my knife is ok but there are better options out there. It holds the knife securely.Overall I don’t think you will be disappointed with this knife. If you are into Bushcraft then a smaller, lightweight companion knife is probably also needed for more intricate detail work and camp chores. Something like a low cost Mora Companion HD or similar would be a good choice.

I have an abundance of knives: little ones, big ones, shiny ones, dark ones, pokey ones, and choppy ones. This is my first ESEE, and I must say I'm impressed.The ESEE-6 is one of those knives that just looks good and feels good in your hand. It's kind of difficult to explain, but if you're a regular knife user, no explanation is really needed. It comes sharp and ready to go. And go it does.I don't usually make a habit of "abusing" knives, but I received the ESEE before a weekend camping trip and decided to abuse it maybe just a little bit, so I spent the weekend with the ESEE making big pieces of wood into little pieces of wood (something I don't usually do with knives ... I use an axe), randomly digging holes like a kid on a beach, and cutting through chicken bones (barbeque chicken over a fire is good). I even used the ESEE to open a few metal cans, although doing so made me cringe as I was half convinced I was going to bend the tip of the blade (the blade did not bend). The ESEE handled everything in my little unscientific weekend experiment without any problem whatsoever.Although I won't be abusing my new ESEE again (I like it too much to be mean to it), it has already become my go-to camping knife, and I have a feeling it will be camping and hunting with me for a long time to come. Have you ever met someone for the first time and you instantly like him or her? You're not sure why, you can't really explain it, but you just have an instant connection. The ESEE-6 is the knife equivalent of such a person: you just like it the first time you pick it up (the knife, not the person, as I'm not sure how the average person you just met would respond to being picked up).At the price point the ESEE-6 is a difficult knife to beat. I'll be purchasing more ESEE knives because good knives are like good beer: why have only one?

These knives are pricey, no getting around that, however they are insanely high quality. I take mine camping, hiking, backpacking... so on. I have used it to baton wood, debone fish, cut rope and cords, and yes simple things like prepare dinner at camp or even just cut up a block of cheese. I have had mine for about a year and a half and it is still going strong. It holds an edge better than most I have seen, even after using it to split enough wood for a fire for the full night it was still razor sharp. One of the best "camping gear" buys I have ever made. I will say when it does eventually come time to sharpen it, save yourself some time and just take it somewhere and have them sharpen it. Doing it on a hand sharpener or wet stone will take you hours (at least for me it did). It is a little big, I wear it on my belt or just keep it tossed in a bag until I need it, but it definitely isn't a pocket knife or easily hidden. It doesn't bother me much, most the time I use it is in the woods when camping on hiking where it is completely normal to see someone with a fixed blade knife on them.

Outstanding. Love the knife. My new go-to for hunting and camping. If I could have just one six inch fixed blade, this would be it. Some folks complain about the polymer sheath, but I like the retention and easy on/off of the belt clip.

Great blade overall. Came razor sharp out the box. I've never owned a carbon steel knife that's prone to rust but so far no complaints at all. Plus the sheath is adaptable for right or left handed users.

First off. Let me say I LOVE THIS KNIFE. Perfect fit and feels great in the hand! My only issue is the edge didn’t come “razor sharp”. Now that doesn’t mean it’s not sharp. 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. All in all fantastic knife I love esee products

Very sharp out the box and built to last. When holding it in your hand, you can feel the quality.
