    Great review Tim, you torture the knives, so we don't have too. If a knife passes your tests, anyone should feel comfortable using it. Thanks for sharing, and be well my friend.

    While it may be necessary to put a knife to extreme use in an emergency it should also be recognized that in a survival situation care must be exercised to maintain a knife's functional integrity.Know your knife may be relied upon but judge what is and is not an "abuse" necessitating emergency very carefully.

    I appreciate this kind of testing !
    I just baught my first Esse 4 , yes I was an Esse Virgin , but my cherry is popped , and I'm as hooked , as a hooker on crack ! :)
    Man these knives are cool , and it's not just looks , my Esse 4 in tactical black and g10 handles is a sexy knife , but as you can see in this vid they perform like a pro knife should !
    It's dependable , reliable and that guarentee is world class . 1095 is underestimated by steel snobs , and it out performs all the stainless super steels , when you put them to the tip test , Truth .
    You can pay 400$ for a knife that brakes when you most need it , Or you can buy an Esse .
    Horses for courses , knives are task specific , choose wisely .

      @@GearReviewDepot My Impression is that people doing cutting and batoning with ESEE Knifes and then try to cut a peace of thin paper afterwards and complain, didn't understand what this knife is made for in the first place. If you want to pry, plane, cut - resharpen with a river stone, gut a dear and then you need to rely on it will not break - ESEE is great.

      Yep, big fat meaty hands. 🤣 The handle (scales) work well with big hands, I don’t recall ever having any issues. About a year ago I purchased a set of G10 scales from The Knife Connection and it completely transformed the knife. I bought the scales that extend over the pommel and are wider in the middle to fill the palm of your hand. Well worth looking into.
