This blade is the tactical version of the classic and loved ESEE 4. I had to have this the moment I saw it. #esee #tacticalknives #everydaycarry www.amazon.com/ESEE-ES4PCPTGB...
Wow that looks perfecter edc, I've been searching for something for edc and self defense, honestly that knife seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, thanks for the review man.
Daniel, "done deal"! I ordered the partially serrated double edged one. A pure martial EDC. My first Esee too!!! Thank you for sharing it. Here's to another great knife I've gotten from your channel. You don't disappoint my friend!!!
Thanks for showing this knife. This is my second comment and after seeing it on your other video I ordered it immediately and it arrived today. What a beauty it takes this knife up to the next level and I was lucky to get the Tactical version there was only one in stock.
Awesome review, I used to carry a smaller pocket knife for protection when I would go urban exploring and hiking. I don’t really baton wood at all or do bushcraft stuff to the tactical review approach was greatly appreciated. Just ordered mine!
I think that ESSE makes the best outdoor knife on the market hands down. In Tennessee there is no law against the size of knife you carry and that’s the way it should be.
I have the Strongarm and a Becker BK10. I like to compare those two with any other combat/utility knife. This Esee 4 is definitely on my future purchase list. Thanks for the good review.
I’m in the market for my first Esee but I’m not sure what size I want. This video swayed me towards the 4. Your videos are informative and enjoyable, this is my favorite channel. Keep up the good work and stay safe, brother.
I have "normal" Esee 4. It's with older flat canvas micarta scales. I have had it over 10 years. Resently I bought Gerber Strongarm. I have to say, I feel that Strongarm's handle feels much more suited for tactical use. Longer grip, rubber surface and guards on both ends of the handle. I have put some vulcanizing tape on the middle of the Esee handle, which makes it grippy. But still, with my medium/large size hands, the Geeber feels more confident.
Really enjoying your content👊. May the big guy give you many many years of life thus giving us many years of content💪. The Esee warranty cannot be beat!
I saw this for the first time on your other video two days ago ordered it right away. A few years ago I bought the Esee 6 tactical with a regular point not to clip point. The clip points on this knife looks like it would be great for making very fine shavings from fat wood and the regular edge for feather sticks. I'll find out when it arrives this week.
@@411OutdoorsG'day mate. So I can't find it down here in Australia, but I've found it at BladeHQ. Now I need to examine my State laws re: double edged. I have had an expensive scrape with the Law over this issue in the past. Now, that was a Sykes Fairbairn dagger, double edged, so, obviously illegal (I was Active Military and had an exemption - in theory. Didn't hold up in court ....), but this one I'm not sure about. It's not a full double edge obviously. Only a sharpened swedge really. I have to get it thru customs, and then be legal in my state. No conviction last time. That won't work again ..... :-/
Great videos and great/enlightening content 👍👍Glad i found your channel, you help me refined my choices regarding some knives ! Cheers from FRANCE and thank you for your work 🤙🤙
I never knew Esee had a double edged knife, till now! Daniel, I also gravitate towards the tactical such as the serrated double edged Armiger 4, the Szabo express, Cold Steel's drop forged boot knife and I could go on so when you say "double edged", I'm listening AND, there a 99.9% chance that I am also looking at my 1st Esee knife as I watch this video!!! Thank you!!!
The Colsest thing I have is a Natchez bowie in o1 steel. As I've modified it, I put a grind on it like a katana or a mora knife. No relief edge. I love it. I have been using it for everything from a gardening tool to a mountain lion back scratcher for years. Because I've re profiled it, the edge maintenance is very simple steel It, strop it and shave with it.
Dont wanna be a well actually. But since you said it's your first esee.you said it's kinda tight pulling the knife out. Dont "pull" the blade out. Pull just enough that it doesnt come out so theres outward pressure then push off on the jimped part of the sheath with your thumb while pulling. Itll come out way easier but the main thing it not gonna fly out when you finally overcome the tension and you won't damage the sheath. A friend or mine asked to check mine out . Yanked it outta the sheath almost cut himself and more importantly cut down some of the retension tab since the plastic is kinda soft. Didnt ruin it but he only did it about 3 times . Not any more time consuming once you get used to it you wanna push off more than you are pulling. Or you already know all this and it was just the angle cause of where you it mounted on you belt lol
Thanks Brother much. I've been looking for a double edged blade recently for multiple use. Thanks much for the review. Old Man, you can't carry that back home in the open? Is this because of the double edge or length? I was born at UVA hospital. Thanks for the info.
I had the ESEE4 HM version, imho a blade of this length should be a bit lighter, maybe around the weight of an ESEE3. Most of the thickness probably isn't needed anyway for combat, although I reckon some might like the handle heavy design for control.
The ESee for sure. I didn’t know about this one until after reviewing the loner. More protection for the hands and slightly lighter. Tops sheaths are hard to beat though

I was doing my usual late night shopping on Amazon and I found it and it’s definitely available. I’m not sure about the discontinuation. I haven’t seen anything such as that.
@@411Outdoors thanks for the reply. Just found it on Amazon! I have the CP 3 and love it but always wanted the CP 4, such a perfect SD fixed blade option.
Saw your Tops Loner video and want one now I’ve seen this I’m torn between the two. Loner vs Esee 4 DE?? Embrace your tactical fantasies we all have them. If we didn’t we would all be carrying Swiss Army knives and the world would be awfully boring.
I love knives too. Want to get really good with a knife? Get a job as a butcher for about a year. You will hone your skills if you have to have a knife in your hand 8 hours a day.
You are telling the truth, about 6 years ago, i held a USA made blade for the first time and i instantly knew, and have been hooked since
I love every ESEE knife. This double edge is awesome too

Awesome! You’ll love it. Very esthetically pleasing haha
It's a shame ESEE discontinued the clip point ESEE 6. It was an incredible blade.
Definitely 💯

7:13 Loved it. All of it was ASMR to me. I'm sold on this knife for sure. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it.
Very welcome my friend. Have a great day.!
Happy Turkey Professor!
Great presentation! Love the blade ,love ESEE. I’m in NY. No Bueno for double edged tools.
Good review.
Thanks my friend and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
This is the first time I’m seeing this blade…kinda gets a fella to thinking.
Great videos and great/enlightening content 👍👍Glad i found your channel, you help me refined my choices regarding some knives ! Cheers from FRANCE and thank you for your work 🤙🤙
Thanks you for watching!🙂
I recently picked one up, just for that reverse edge on the spine. Good video, brother.✝️👍🏻
Thanks bro! Enjoy. Love mine
I like that blade!
Knife lovers assemble 😁 Love that one brother 👍

Thats a great knife, i just ordered an esee3-mil-s
I've been pissed off about the EssE , but That is a awesom design
Handsome blade brother. I do enjoy my ESSE knives!
I’m thinking about getting me a big boy Esee 5 or 6 🙂👍
Thats a sweet blade. Hoping for some black friday sales today
Indeed 🙂👍

I have an esee 3 as my edc. Perhaps It's time for an upgrade.
Hellz Yeahz \m/
🙂👊👊
Thanks Brother much. I've been looking for a double edged blade recently for multiple use. Thanks much for the review.
Old Man, you can't carry that back home in the open? Is this because of the double edge or length? I was born at UVA hospital. Thanks for the info.
In the state of Virginia, they have some laws against certain length and yes double edge👍 cheers my friend!
@@411Outdoors Appreciate ya. Enjoy them woods. I'm looking on getting back once and for all. Talk soon. Thanks again.
I had the ESEE4 HM version, imho a blade of this length should be a bit lighter, maybe around the weight of an ESEE3. Most of the thickness probably isn't needed anyway for combat, although I reckon some might like the handle heavy design for control.
How would this esee compare to the tops loner? Witch would you recommend?
The ESee for sure. I didn’t know about this one until after reviewing the loner. More protection for the hands and slightly lighter. Tops sheaths are hard to beat though
Happy Thanksgiving brother..Great pigsticker..great price too! Do they make a training version perhaps?
You as well bro! Not that I know of, but that would be lovely
Still available? Can't find it anywhere...

Well said! Personally I’d get this one . It’s a little lighter and provides a little more hand protection
@@411Outdoors thanks
