    Just bought the 6 with the 3D g-10 handles and I love it. Unlike many blades the tang under the scales is not skeletonized but solid. The coating is excellent and being 1095 it is very tough!

  • @sterlingstoots3215

    I agree That The Esee 6 is the best all around knife for the price it is an excellent lifetime knife.THANKS For The Review And GOD BLESS.

    Just ordered my Esee 6. Also ordered the molle sheath with pouch. You could order a Randall 14 for $600.00 and wait 5 years for it or get a 6 for just over $100.00.right away. I also like the fact that you can order different handle scales for it. I also agree that the 6 would make a good defensive fighting knife. Best knife in this price range.

    Great choice! I've got the RC-3, RC-4, RC-6, Izula (their original company name was Rat Cutlery before they rebranded as ESEE, hence the RC in the model designations) as well as an ESEE Izula II (with the longer handle), the ESEE Lite Machete, and the Cadiru. My RC-3 is a special edition version with black blade and orange scales for their forum members called the Rat Pack, with my Rat Pack member # on the scale screws . Absolutely awesome knives and the company owners Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin are down to earth, no BS guys. The "Rat" in Rat Cutlery stands for Randall's Adventure and Training.
    Years ago they licensed the knife designs to the Ontario Knife company, which is why you'll also come across the Ontario Knife Company (OKC) versions of the RC-3/ESEE-3, RC-4/ESEE-4 and I think a few other models. Those models are called the Ontario RAT 3, RAT 4, etc. The OKC versions cost less but the fit and finish isn't as good, and I don't remember if they offer a warranty similar to ESEE's no BS Lifetime Warranty. Rat Cutlery rebranded to ESEE to distinguish themselves better from the Ontario Knives version,. More history on the company can be found on their website at www.eseeknives.com/about-esee-0.
    (I'm not affiliated with the company other than being a fan of their products and a member of their online forum community, though I haven't been active there in years.)

    I love my esee 6. I have a few much “nicer” more “expensive” camping/bushcraft knives, but my esee 6 is my all around go to knife. I baton oak with it on a regular basis and can still shave hair off my arm with it. If I had one complaint it would be that I can’t spark a fire steel with the spine, but if I were going to Mars and could only take one knife it would be the esee 6.

    @drouleau Před 2 lety +1

    Just got my ESEE 6 with the 3D micarta handles - it's an amazing knife. It's a perfect size...not too big, not too small, and not too heavy. Easy to carry weight-wise, very well balanced and a great edge out of the box. Can't really ask for more. I like the sheath, but also ordered the molle one with a pouch as well (although they forgot to put in 2 of the 4 screws on the pouch - oops). I have a Ka-Bar 1277 large bowie (9" blade), and that thing is a beast....too unwieldly for really anything other than chopping and batoning large pieces of wood.

    I keep, love, and abuse the hell out of my ESEE-5 as a camp knife. It goes on hikes with me when I'm out gathering wood and stays in a Hedgehog Leatherworks sheath. Because of the leather sheath I actually use Otter Wax or other fabric waxes to keep the blade safe without slowly eating away the grain on the leather.

    Question: why would ANYONE ever be in a situation where he/she had only one blade (cutting tool) at their disposal (other than abysmal forethought, planning and preparation)?
    There is ALWAYS the option of having/getting the right tool for the job.
    Why would one choose a knife to do loads of jobs, some with difficulty, others not terribly well, and some OK, when you can have the proper tools to do those jobs better, easier and expending fewer calories?
