The ESEE 6 is a tour de force unmatched in survival applications...

[Tajbral]

It's amazing what this thing can do. I have experience using just about every high-end survival knife ever made, and the ESEE 6 beats them all. It's not just me because even my friends feel the same way, and the thing is this: I don't even own an ESEE 6, but I want one! LOL.

Come on, Jeff. Does your account have to be banned again?

I honestly don't know the guy, but that's a classic reply!!!

Sounds like a touchy subject, I'll stand down...

Jeff will always be a friend regardless of past history here. We had too many fun times back in the day getting into trouble in Atlanta and Miami for it ever to be otherwise.

I'm happy for his success. I have a handful of knives he has gifted me over the years, from the Ontario days and beyond.

Anyway, no need to revisit. It's all about the knives here.

So, how about filling us in on the work you've done with it, and tell us about the knives you've compared it to and why it's the best?

I agree it's pretty great, just wish it was thinner, harder, and a different steel....
I've got a Group Buy.

I guess a reply was not forthcoming...

Esee may make a decent knife, but to say it’s unmatched is a far stretch from the truth.

You think?

After I got my RC 6, I threw away all of my other knives. All of them.
Got rid of the wife too. Who needs them when you have a six.

Watch your six.

A 6 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

How could he if he does not have one? That's the sound of one hand clapping.

Zen koans and the art of the knife.

I'd argue 6" in the bush is preferable to 6" in the hand... what were we talking about?

Lol this thread

So many one-liners, so little time.

Let's keep it family friendly folks...

I'd like to have one, haven't managed to find one in my budget yet.
I don't know about unmatched though, I think the BK7 and BK9 are options, and probably lots of the Busse&kin for people with sufficient budgets. Ontario and Cold Steel too?

 

[Spillproof]

I like ESEE's a LOT but I reject the thesis here.
Just about any FB knife is better than no knife in a survival situation. And there are certainly nicer knives at higher prices. Nothing special about ESEE steel for example.

I prefer 2 esee 3s. One for each hand.
