The Esee 5 has a blade of 5.25" vs STS-5 5.5"
Esee 5 Blade thickness .25" vs. STS-5 .270"
Esee 5 steel 1095 vs. STS-5 154CMBlade Thickness: .25 in.
Esee Weight 16oz. vs STS-5 11.25oz
Given the similarities would one be better than the other or is it just simply a matter of looks and price. Could the STS-5 stand up to the abuse that the Esee 5 can? I know that SS is not quite as tough as carbon but with the extra thickness I think the difference is nil. What do you think? Has anyone compared these two in use and function, how similar in use and toughness are they?
