Commiefornia considers this an illegal fully semi automatic axe
You should understand not many here in California recognize Newsom as an authority figure
Perfectly legal knife in California.
You got me thinking about fully semi-automatic. At first glance 'fully' and 'semi' don't belong together, since 'semi' means 'half'. But then I looked it up, it also means 'partial' as in a part of, not as in biased. Therefore fully can be used to emphasize one meaning of 'semi' over the other. A fully semi-automatic axe would be a whole half, not just partially, automatic.
I have the old green handle Rat one. With the olive sheath with pouch. It's very cool. Thanks for the video.
Very cool!
They are cool blades. Mine was configured like that for years and tossed into various kits. Just recently I got the contoured scales, stripped down the sheath to as light as possible and actually started using it. Handle scales made a huge difference for me...
Very cool! I thought about upgrading the scales too. Since it’s my dedicated earthquake knife I’m hoping I don’t “Have to” use it anytime soon! Lol
Looks close in thickness to my old buck intrepid tanto. Nice knife.
The best survival knife is the one that you can always carry and know how to use!😊
Ya and in a suburban survival environment. I only need a simple pocket knife. Phones help as well. Wallet. Gun too if you are afraid of being robbed.
@@xPumaFangxyou mind showing me how to pry open a door with a wallet?
@@derultnerlp9319 Why, do you need to break into a home? A wallet is good for keeping money in.
How good is a dollar in the middle of the woods?
@@xPumaFangx you said you only need a small pocket knife a phone a wallet and maybe a gun in urban survival environment. You can use the small pocket knife because it will break, a phone will break to so there is only the wallet left. For what you need the wallet and the phone? If its for their normal uses then its not a survival environment…
@@derultnerlp9319 OK you really are that dense.
These are objects that I carry every day to survive urban life.
And you want to pretend you have an authority on the topic.
But ok let's play your game......
I walk into the nearest store and ask for help. That will be my answer.
Got mine in blaze orange so I can find it when I put it down somewhere.😊
I picked up one of these to break down deer this year. Just arrived, pretty stoked on it. I got the blaze orange with the best options.
And how did it work ? Did you have luck?
Yup, as soon as I saw it, it reminded me of the Becker BK-2.
So many of the listings (esp the affordable ones!) are without sheaths. Is yours aftermarket? Where can one be obtained?
Cool set up. Thanks for sharing. Can you give more info on the Ferro rod? And I haven't looked thru your videos list yet but what do you carry in the tin? Thanks.
Yeah it’s the Exotac Nanostriker XL. I liked it because is self contained and water tight. Plus you can swap out the fero rod at any time.
The tins are very subjective. Everyone’s going to be a little different. My tins are based on the use. Since this is in my “Urban Get Home Kit” I have mostly first aid stuff in it. Bandaids, disinfectant, needle and thread, etc. I also have a couple wetfire tinder just in case.
Can you put the link to eveything in? I only see the knife on the website not the whole kit
Funny how you acknowledge... male , female, or however you identify. I wonder if HSN does the same when selling makeup.🤣🤣🤣 Good review, bought one!
Where can i get a pouch like this ?
You bud lighted yourself in less than 30 seconds. Good job and good luck .
You obviously are unfamiliar with levity. Good luck with that.
Please send me a link to the fire steel, poutch, and can you have on the ESEE5. Thanks...
Overbuilt tank. Designed for fighter pilots which there are very few of. And even fewer trapped in a downed plane. But if I could only take one knife. I'd grab the one I know I couldn't break.
@@MattH-wg7oubenchmade lol
If you need a pry bar to btfo some hinges just bring a busse
I love my Esee 5 but it is so thick that I really can't find a good use for it. I ended up leaving it in my vehicle and it would probably best used to smash a window if needed.
The esse 5 is my next knife.
It is a THICK blade! Badass!! I got one...
Almost blunt out of the box , so I convexed the edge of mine . It's a bruiser. Cheers
Where can i get this sheath?
Your thumbnail has a green sheath where can I find that!
ESEE Fixed Blades absolutely "ROCK!!!" :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Esee 5 my favorite knife 💪 a tank
Definitely not for combat. Stabs poorly, balance is off, not slicey at all, I'd take a kitchen knife over it any day for combat. Unless you're fighting cyborgs.
Had two Esee 5s. On one hand, I loved them because you really feel like they're unbreakable. But sold them both after a couple years of use. The grind sucks for bushcraft, and awkward for small camp tasks. It was just good for batoning, never had a better knife for that actually. I agree with urban survival, not for combat but because it's a sharp prybar.
Nice.
Could it be the Ultimate Urban Survival Knife in 2023?? And it's a BRAND NEW UNUSED knife!
I have the same set up for my Survive Knives GSO 5.1 in 3V.
I really want to get one. The one in Magnacut will be awesome also. Hows the 3V?
@@alexanderpeattie3910 It's solid, but be careful of Survive Knives dude, it's a risk, and they do screw people over. I took a risk and it paid off but be weary.
However you want to identify? FFS
I know, right? We're all dudes here anyway. But in all seriousness, did it bother you so much you had to leave a comment? I think you'd get along better than you'd expect with a trans person if you found that you have similar interests (like awesome survival knives).
I would not try to pry open a door with it. There are other tools for that. Do not forget a Sillcock Key for Urban Survival and Get Home Bag.
I went with the Esee 5 as my urban survival knife because I think ingress/egress is high priority for urban.
Wdym? How does this knife specifically help leave a city
@@diogenesstudent5585 prying things open such as doors, windows, etc.
@8triagrammer I always figured a wire cutter for fencing would be handy too.
@diogenesstudent5585 absolutely but don't forget that the term survival knife presupposes that the knife is all you have, or at least one of very few things you have left.
Where do you get the shith for it does it come with the knife.
Yes, it’s the one that come from Esee with the knife!
1/4 inch is 6.35mm thick, it looks more like 5 mm thick to me.
I too live in Southern California. Was a knife dealer. Why don't I have this unit in the car? Because I am older and made a choice (no longer made) long before the Esee 5 came out. Only for that reason. A thing to consider when buying a knife (or almost anything) is as follows. If you are going to rely upon a unit and keep your life simple, don't buy a product unless it is 10% better. So, yes, the 5 is more than 10% better than the 4 for urban survival, for example.
I have a 3, 4, 5 & 6, I prefer the 6...MORE balanced
Best rust proofing is using it. Cheers
What sheath is that please? Thanks.
The sheath is the standard one that comes from Esee
Looks identical to my onterio rat 5. That will most likely never be made again since the company is no longer. 😥 This looks like a good knife as well. ✝️🇺🇸✝️
Get it while you can
Sad to hear the legacy of OKC is lost from NYS.
The problem with survival knives supposedly being the best , but the don’t have a hammer like the kbar does , just saying
Over all this is very good knife without a doubt, and it is one level higher than the bk2!
But it isn't seam to me being such a thick blade by the way!!
I think It isn't more than 6mm, has thay claim to be 6.35mm (1/4)
This knife would be ideal if would be 3 cm longer and spine 7 mm thick, and that would deserve to call it survival, fighting and outdoor knife, ore I would say a 'doomsday knife'!
Have you ever used that knife?
Can you get the 6 with this holster?
Yes
What brand is the sheath?
It is made by ESEE
I would have loved to have a kit like that when I served in the Marines in the 1980's, but they didn't make anything remotely that good back then.
I'll stick with my gerber strong arm
And the best part is that it doesn't have that big choil.
It's a good knife for an actual Man! Boy Scouts can't handle that much steel. Thanks for the video.
😂
Why are all your knives brand new and unused?
Now this is an interesting take on the ESEE5.
Yeah, for an urban environment survival situation, it sounds more doable. [It is dreadful in the outdoors! Too short, lousy chopper, can only baton up to about 4" or so, too heavy for that length, too short/stout for a Big knife, no 90deg spine.] It will do well for prying, breaking stuff open (like crates, windows, etc) and is generally stout enough for the rough stuff. Yeah, I can see that.
But, when you start talking about the outdoors, leave the 5 at home, and take something more appropriate, as out there you'll probably need more than one cutting tool! [Saw, large knife, belt knife, and multi-tool knife).
The best knife for survival is a well-sharpened axe..😂
I, and the best way to use that axe is by choppin elves heads.
Love mine. So heavy duty; Here in Florida as long as you’re not a convicted felon, ANYONE can carry ANY knife or firearm concealed. No permits needed. Just have to be 18…seems to be working ok; just the normal amount of shootings and stabbings. Every day.
fine knife but the price is a killer. There are plenty of knives who would do the job for a lot less $
Comparatively ESEEs knives are not all that expensive. You can find 5s for under $180 if you know where to look. Also, I’ve had & used a lot of knives in my day & have broken or damaged a few from many companies & can honestly say out of all the companies out there ESEE have been the best in every regard & way when it comes to a hard use bushcraft, survival, & or tactical knife. Additionally, something to consider when it comes to the cost of an ESEE they have a life time warranty; if you break it just send it in to them & they will replace it. Also, Jeff & Mike are amazing guys & very active with in the community.
Btw if you think an ESEE is expensive don’t look at the cost of a Busse, Al Mar, Benchmade or pretty much any top tier cooking knives.
esee are the cheapest blades out there , esee 5 without sheath is around $100 , with sheath around $145
No one is carrying this knife into combat. It is way too heavy. ESEE marketed this knife as useful for "downed pilots". I don't believe it was ever adopted or issued.
So you review knives with out using them 🤔
Overview. I hopefully won’t ever have to use this one since its my Earthquake get home knife. The other knives I own I’ve put through their paces.
My Winkler, HALF FACE BLADES , and TOOR knives absolutely blow that away. That is a cheap knife, and a no good sheath. Survival is not an accident get a good knife your survival might depend on it.
dont wanna be a downer, you seem to be a nice person. i see it like dave canterbury: im a fan of honest reviews from skilled persons that actually use and used the reviewed product, at best for a longer time.
as we all know, esee uses a terrible coating. from this we can see, you actually dont used the esee 5 and 4 for its intended purpose. you seem more of a collector. please communicate this circumstance to the viewer, for the video being "theoretically" and describing it by "thoughts". its all ok then, viewers then know how to judge.
The absurdity of this sub-optimal survival knife 🗡 is that its intended market is under the delusion that they can take it into the woods and live forever. The only thing this knife is optimized for is in pretending to be Peter Pan
. Its too thick to filet a fish, too short to chop down trees, wrong shape and not sharp enough to butcher animals, doesn't have a gaurd so not a fighting knife, lacks a mounting point so its not a bayonet, knife edge is not offset from the handle and the grind is wrong so its not a chefs knife. How exactly is this better in helping you survive?
I disagree with you on many levels
Sorry, man. Really wanted to watch the vid but paused immediately after you said "however you identify." Many of your viewers are put off by any woke verbiage. We are men we are women. We don't identify. I'm sure you may be a great dude, but many of us don't tolerate boot licking or respect the WOKE language. It's gross bro. Just an fyi, no hard feelings.
No worries. Some people don’t like or get my style of humor. Thats the beauty of TH-cam, there’s so many other channels that your bound to find one that appeals to you. Thanks for the comment.
"Many of your viewers are put off by any woke verbiage"
Get over yourself! It is not "woke" to acknowledge how someone identifies. I could care less if someone identified as an oak tree. How does it change your life?
It's still a shit knife.
No.
A SAK + a prybar will be better.
