Looking for the ESEE 4 equivalent in stainless

[backerspit]

I have looked at bark river bravos and other brands but they just don't give me that "feeling " that you get when you instantly love a knife when you hold it in your hand. If there was a 3v version of an ESEE 4 I would be satisfied in saying that it would be the perfect knife for me. I have also been considering a koster knife but haven't seen much discussion around here about them. So help me out guys, what's the closest thing to the ESEE in a good performance stainless?

The stainless version should be out later this year.

Try the Entrek 11 Bravo, I have one and love it.

Check out the GSO 4 from Survive gear. It is in Elmax.

3V isn't stainless, but it is an excellent steel for a fixed blade that will see hard use.
The only complaints I see about Koster is how long it takes to get one. The knives themselves are supposed to be excellent.
If you aren't picky about the handle material you can get one at www.knivesshipfree.com

Strider MFS in full flat grind. REALLY similar specs to the ESEE 4 & my personal fav fixed blade to date.

Thanks, KSF is where I saw the Koster knives. I have also looked in the Koster sub forums here and really like the Edc series. I was mistaken in thinking that 3v was stainless.

I actually ran out, only a few days after their release. I WILL have another, larger run out BEFORE Christmas, in both CPM-3V and Elmax. There will be plenty of options as well. As soon as this GSO-10 promotion is winding down, I'll be ordering steel and getting things moving.

Shameless plug time, just because I don't want anyone who might be interested to miss out. If you are looking for a super high quality chopper in CPM-3V, please consider getting involved in my GSO-10 promotion. The promotion ends TOMORROW! Lock in your spot ASAP. We will be kicking off production this Monday. We have a TON of people involved in this and I believe it's going to be a lot of fun. We are down to hours now. I can't wait!
