Review on πŸ”ͺ ESEE-4 Fixed Blade Knife: 3D Contoured Handle, 1095 Carbon Steel, Black Ambidextrous Sheath - Made in USA by Dustin Keller

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Garbage knife overpriced.

I wanted to like this knife, watched videos on YouTube and read about it. It's a $30 lightweight cutting knife advertised as a survival or bushcraft knife and then priced at over $100. The handle is too narrow to be used for anything other than a utility knife or light office work. You will not cut enough 3 inch or thicker pieces of wood to build any type of survival shelter. Your fingers will hurt and it will be dark before you're done. I also have Kabar Becker and Jeo-tec No. 21 at the same time I bought this Esee knife. The Kabar had the best handle of the 3 knives and had the thickest blade but was ugly. The Jeo-tec had a good grip, was the second thickest and had the best quality steel and was nice too. I ended up buying a Jeo-tec for my dad and my friend because the knife was so good. In the end I found the Jeo-tec to be the best of the three knives, if you are looking for a survival/bushcraft knife get a Jeo-tec or a Kabar but stay away from the Esee one of those people that the brand is more important than quality, then get Esee and start cutting those boxes!

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
