Initial impressions? Budget knife or not, I’ve been drawn to that one since I first saw it….anything with ESEE on the box lolAnother one - ESEE Churp, that I like a lot, small slip joint like folder, that actually locks and have a clip... Love it, especially for $20...

I also like ESEE, in other conversations I keep calling this knife “Ontario” Churp, ha ha ha,Initial impressions? Budget knife or not, I’ve been drawn to that one since I first saw it….anything with ESEE on the box lol
Thank you sir, I appreciate it. I’m grabbing a couple for stocking stuffers and one for myself lolQuiet , You’re killing it this month man…

I bought it for a GAW for another forum so I only fiddle with it without cutting anything but this is a “barrel” knife I believe, decent size even small, I can comfortly hold it and probably cut stuff as mail, open boxes or pill an apple….
it’s not a heavy duty folder but will do well average city edc tasks.
I like the way how it opens as a slip joint but have an actual lock bar. It’s built very well IMO for what they sell it.
‘The mycarta scales are very pleasant on the eye and touch, not slippery at all, obviously I didn’t try it wet but I’ll assume they will give you enough grip. Nice, large, well designed I think and well holding clip, over a big lanyard/fob hole. D2 blade, sharp, could be sharper but that’s just me, utilitarian geometry. it’s a fine little knife for the $20 they sell it.
‘Hope this will help![]()

Will do. If you listen to the windbag Shabazz it’s the worst knife ever made. IDGAF about his reviews. This knife wouldn’t have won Blade Show Most Innovative American Made Knife of the Year Award in 2014 if it weren’t legit. I’ve yet to see a Shabazz Knife Of The Year, perhaps I’ve missed it.Hmmm great minds, let me know your thoughts on that one; I have been hovering over the buy button.
