ESEE Knives 6P Fixed Blade Knife w/Molded Polymer Sheath (Dark Earth Blade/Black Sheath)

AND BUY THIS KNIFE. So I don’t even know where to start as to why I bought this knife... long and short, I mostly wanted a “budget” knife that I could feel ok about working over at camp or in the wild some where. FAILED. I did not want to spend this amount of money for a knife to beat up in the field, but I did and I am SO NOT SORRY. If I had the money right now, I would buy the whole ESEE knife line—all of them for no reason but to just have. I fell in love with this knife immediately... it’s hella sharp and just tears through wood and processes it all with ease. It not only looks cool but it feels really good in the hand—makes you feel like it’s going to work very hard and very well for you. It’s light enough to not get tired using it and heavy enough to get work done. I am a rookie at “survival”/bush craft (I have to call it camping to these city folks out here who think I am crazy) and I was able to manage basic tasks with just the one knife and with confidence that I could handle the blade. PLEASE just spend the money on one high quality knife and you will not be sorry. I’m already eyeballing the PR-4 so I can round off both sides of survival and bushcraft and keep it in the same line of knives. Also, because I watch a few to many YouTube vids, I did a thing...see the pics. The carbon fiber sheath matches the handles! Yeeeeah I am that person. Look why not survive with style?! Plus, I can attach my fire kit to the Titan Survival Cord and feel confident that I can always make fire. Like so..see last pic. Naturally, I am changing the pouch to black, again, style points! Upgraded sheath or not... JUST BUY THIS BLADE.

Always check when buying ESEE knives through vendors not listed on the ESEE knives web site. There are "fakes" out there. I checked up with ESEE prior to this purchase and while not listed with ESEE, they are a legit reseller. I opted for the purchase here due to free shipping and a slightly less purchase price...every buck counts. :) As far as the knife, I couldn't be happier. The 6P is just plain solid. Total length is right at 11.75 inches with the blade taking up 5.75" of that. This is NOT a small knife. It is a survival knife meant to be used for multiple scenarios all the way up to chopping small trees down. It is not a throwing knife and if you throw it...well...I don't even know what to say. The blade is powder coated with laser engraving and is slightly serrated on the top, near the handle. The handle is comfortable...with indentions in just the right places. Again...it is a SOLID knife/solid handle and is meant to take a beating. I immediately used it to chop down several small tree limbs (1 inch in diameter) and it went through them with 1-2 swings. After use, use a quality oil to clean the blade up. It will preserve the edge and prevent rust. Yes, the edge will rust as it is exposed and not powder coated. The sheath is of decent quality. Seems to be a hard plastic with a belt clip. Guessing there are some other sheaths on the market that are slightly more durable. If you are buying an ESEE knife for the sheath...you are buying for the wrong reason. That said, I am pleased with the sheath and the provided clip. I attached it to my tactical vest with the belt clip and the provided pressure clip/paracord then, used the holes in the sheath (spaced for molle mounting) and additional paracord to tie the sheath off to the vest. In essence, making the sheath part of the vest. The knife fits snugly in the sheath and until it loosens up a little, you have to give a little yank to get it out. Nothing that time will not cure. Be careful...it's a knife...and it is sharp. :) I have wanted an ESEE knife for years. The cost has always prevented me from buying one...but, frankly, I don't know that there is a better knife on the market. Sharp, durable, solid. It's made in the USA. That's right...IN the USA. The warranty is forever and transferrable. As long as you have a legit ESEE knife the warranty is forever. Check the ESEE knives site. So, a great survival knife with a great "forever" warranty. I am extremely glad that I saved my pennies and purchased an ESEE. I am confident this will be around well after I am gone.

If you've been thinking about buying the Esee 6, wait no longer. I wrestled with spending what I did for it, but once I held it in my hand, I immediately felt like a got a wonderful deal. You can tell that there is a tremendous amount of thought placed on the quality control over at Esee. The fit and finish is absolutely perfect, it has almost perfect balance, and feels amazing in hand. From a performance standpoint, the Esee 6 has a nice 5.75" cutting edge, with 6.5" of 1095 steel from handle to tip. It is 3/16" thick and sharp as a razor right out of the box. Given those specs, one can see that this blade was made for cutting stuff, and it does can well. I've made fire sticks, now drills and simple shelters with it, then turn around process a fish without a problem. I would consider this a wonderful "Jack of All Trades" knife. The way it was built gives you the ability to slide back on the handle, which transfers most of the knife weight forward, and generate more chopping power. Additionally, the design provides the ability to slide up on the handle, where you are shortening the blade at the center of weight distribution, which allows you to gain control of the blade for finer tasks. Their are knives out there for all walks of life and needs. I am 6'3", and wear a size XXL glove. This KnifeWorks well for me... I EDC the Esee 3, which was purchased as a result of how much I like the Esee 6, and it also feels great in hand and performs well. If I had to do over, I would have purchased this knife, from what looks like a typo above, a year ago when I first started thinking about it. It gets to go out and play every time I go, while all the other 9 knives stay home. Stay safe my friends!

Very sharp out the box and built to last. When holding it in your hand, you can feel the quality.

Outstanding. Love the knife. My new go-to for hunting and camping. If I could have just one six inch fixed blade, this would be it. Some folks complain about the polymer sheath, but I like the retention and easy on/off of the belt clip.

Wer ein großes Messer sucht, stabil, robust liegt hier richtig. Lange Klinge, 1095 er Stahl ein großer Griff und eine brauchbare Kydexscheide - der liegt hier richtig. Etwas teuer als die konkurrenz von Becker & Co, eben aus den USA. Damit kann mann all die Dinge tun, die man in den entpsrechenden Videos bei Youtube sieht. Und wer schlau ist, der passt auf seine Finger auf, das Teil ist superscharf. Schnell geliefert und gleich ausprobiert. Passt. Unf bitte bloß nicht in der Öffentlichkeit tragen. Die Klingt ist nicht mehr § 42a konform.

Premetto che non ho ancora avuto la possibilità di testarlo sul campo, ma solo averlo tra le mani si vede che non è "un coltello" ma "IL COLTELLO" giunto nei tempi previsti imballo buono, lama affilata. Full tang di ottima fattura. Non così il fodero veramente scarso in tutti i sensi, ma questo ormai lo sanno anche sulla più vicina Galassia . Un neo che toglierebbe una stella (non all'articolo, ma al venditore) è che l'avevo ordinato con tagliente liscio ed è arrivato con una parte di seghettata. Ammetto però che anche così mi va bene. Lo consiglio a chi vuole una lama robusta e affidabile, sono soldi ben spesi.

Das messer liegt gut in der Hand und rutscht auch nicht aus der scheide raus was man dazu sagen muss das es einen Vorteil und einen Nachteil hat. Es rutscht absolut nicht aus der scheide heraus allerdings wenn man nur eine Hand zur Verfügung hat ist dies auch ein großer Nachteil. Die klinge ist protall scharf, den ich bin nur mal mit dem Finger ein bißchen an die klinge gekommen und habe mich gleich geschnitten, und gemerkt habe ich es erst 1/2 Minute später. Wenn ich über irgendwas meckern müsste wäre es das an der Stelle wo das Messer einrastet sieht man schwarze Spuren, wem das stört würde ich empfehlen es sich einfach in schwarz zu kaufen oder wenn es das nicht gibt einfach gar nicht 😄. Ansonsten absolute Kaufempfehlung

Un excelente cuchillo. Gran terminación con materiales de altísima calidad Muy equilibrado y con garantía de por vida

I’ve had my Esee 6 for about a month now. It is an amazing knife. It has good heft but is not too heavy. The micarta handles are comfortable and provide good grip. If you are only going to own one fixed blade knife this should be it. The 1095 steel does not have the greatest edge retention but is extremely tough and easy to sharpen. I carry a Camillus glide sharpener when in the field and can easily bring the edge back when necessary. The sheath is sufficient but does not do this great knife justice. I don’t really have any thing negative to say about this piece of kit.
