Looking at the ESEE 3 for my bug out bag...

I love my RC-3 mil. It takes everything I put it through, and while it is 1095 it keeps putting up with the abuse.

I have to recommend it for use.

I have the 4 and an Izulu. Love both, I think you will be happy with any of the ESEE line. I dont care for knives much bigger than the 4, just me though.

Becker bk2 is my favorite....Strip the blade and you got a beauty there....Trust me it's awesome

Yep, my 3 is a workhorse for sure. Easy to edc in the waistband too, if that's legal where you are. Puts any hard use folder to shame IMHO

Agreed the 3 is an awesome little EDC. Its so light but packs a punch. I always carry it over my folders when I can.

Knife showed up today,LOVE it!Overall quality,fit and finish is great.I'll be buying more for sure!

I have an RC-3MIL - same sheath, pocket/boot clip. I like that, I could use those aftemarket grips if the extra 1/2 inch of handle is "usable" gripping space and not any decorative stuff eatiing up that space.

Mine is mirror polished at 3 7/8" length it should be just right for your blade length law!

I just took my leather belt off and stropped it. It whispers through printer paper without a sound!

Now go out and use the hell out of it. Your fears of a thin blade holding up will be put to rest the more you use it.

enjoy your blade.

I have a ESEE3MIL for my BOB ,when I get it I worried about it being so thin then I used it. If you split seasoned ash with a knife you don`t worry about it breaking anymore.

Nice purchase! Gotta get more ESEEs in CT! My RC3 is hands down the best all around knife I own. They carry great in a front jeans pocket, the tool pocket of painters pants/carrharts/dickies/KUHLs too!
