ESEE 6

[DAdams]

Stopped at SMKW last week. I checked out their ESEE collection. All the ESEEs were on sale so basically the were priced like the Interweb prices. Best of all immediate gratification.
This is one hell of a knife. Well balanced and great feel. I like the liners, I think I'm going to dye the scales black.

Good choice! I have one & love it. I use mine harder than any other knife I own.

They are an excellent knife from a great company at a great price....

 

Enjoy,

Nice looking, and I like the blue looking scales. Not too sissified, just attractive.

Can I use that word about a knife?

You bet. The Micarta is gray, turned sort of blue in the lighting. I think before I use it, I'm going to dye the scales black. Due to the porosity of the Micarta Ritz Dye can be used and it's easy to do. It doesn't bleed afterward.

That looks like a great knife!  I've been looking at the 5 for a while now.

Nice knife. I kinda like the color as is.

I like the 5 also, but for some reason (saber grind, thickness of metal?) it is more $$ than the 6. I also didn't need another knife with a glass breaker. Can't go wrong with a 5 or a LS for that matter. The 5 is sort of a sharpened pry bar, good for cutting metal and Plexiglas. For camp chores involving wood I would rather a 6.

Both of them are nice.  I think the five is a little thicker maybe?  The Laser Strike is one that would be cool too if for nothing more then the blade shape.

Esee makes a good knife....good luck and enjoy it.

5 is a saber grind and thicker. Has the glass breaker. Scale retrofits are the same for both.
I like buying here. Competitive prices and you can buy the blade and choose from an assortment of scales.

I stopped and handled the 4, 5 and 6 this weekend. I will definitely be buying a ESEE 5 very soon.

It's difficult to not want them all. ESEE/Rowen is doing a Scandi grind bushcraft style that holds some interest.

Love my little Izula!  As for the 6, it's just a bit too big for me.  I have Paul Hargis 5" Custom, already, but I wouldn't mind having the Esee 3!  Also wouldn't mind having a Esee with a scandi grind, though, I wouldn't want the coating it, like they use on their other knives.
