Come on Esee!! Just give us the Izula and the 3 in Magnacut, and we will buy them for sure. Thanks for the review, buddy 👍
You bet!
Also the 4 PLEASE
I always root for Esee and Tops solid knives
The right elements for EDC/compact survival/utility! Adding this to the list.
I'm more impressed with it than I expected. The advertisements with the white background don't really do it justice. I like the flat grind but it could loose a little belly for more point in the tip. It's gonna hold up and be a contender by years end I'm predicting
I really like mine! Love the design, ergos are great. I used it over the holidays to slice up all kinds of summer sausage for our cheese and sausage boards. It was fantastic. Went through that hard sausage like 'butta and the edge is still as sharp as it was right out of the box.
I also have this knife. I really like it, however I do agree it could loose some belly, and a taco style sheath. Over all its a keeper and a user. As far as first production run #s here is are the figures I got from ESEE.
Our first Production Run on the Sencillo.
A2: 578
Magnacut: 739
Total: 1327
I've had mine for a month now and I'd agree with some of what you've said about this knife. I haven't had any issues with feather sticking with mine but like you it still wouldn't be my first choice but for me it's more because of the size and ergos with its size. Ultimately it's a great EDC blade that is a wonderful around the camp blade but in the casual camping sense ie food prep/eating, cutting rope/paracord, basic EDC tasks etc. If you are more into bushcraft etc this isn't the knife for you as it just isn't built for that type of use! This is my first Magnacut blade and so far I'm pretty pleased with how easy it is to keep razor sharp! The sheath retention is great as mine doesn't wobble around like yours but I'd still prefer a leather sheath with a deep carry pocket clip over a belt clip kydex like the one that comes with it. I didn't think I'd like the grip design as much as I do given it sits great in the palm and the texture provides more than adequate grip. Overall it's a 10/10 for me as my EDC fixed blade I have better suited knives for bushcraft/camping etc but this one happily sits on my belt for daily tasks that those knives couldn't attend without drawing negative attention or legal issues!
Thanks, Aaron, for commenting on JoeX goodbye video. Between that and the Paul Harrrel drive to get 1 million subs, it's good to see TH-camrs looking out for each other.
Been watching this blade for the last 6-8 weeks. It fills that niche right between the Izula and the Essee 3 for me. Carried the Izula 2 for a long time and occasionally it was too small for a daily task. The Esee 3 was a bit chunky for a daily for me. Found the Creely Mako in magnacut and love it for the main carry. This Sencillo looked like a nice backup to the Mako. Lucky for me everyplace is sold out of the magnacut or I'd have picked one up already. Eventually I know one will sneak into my rotation though. I know some people hate the magnacut craze but I've had very good luck with the steel.
I love my izula with s35 steel and the knife connection scales.
Seems like another good option for the right jobs. I’m going to hold off for now and keep rocking the ESEE 6 as an overall camp knife. It just does so much and I don’t mind sharpening it since the carbon steel is so forgiving.
Esse needs to make the 3 in Magnacut.
The Sencillo has the more bigger blade, the 3 would be the perfect alternative if you want a blade that's more smaller. Also I would like to see Black Micarta handles for the Sencillo.
The price is pretty damn reasonable for US made Magnacut, but I just have so many knives that already fill the niche this thing is shooting for. I dunno, I do think it's sexy, but I might wait until they sort out the tension issues with that sheath.
Thanks for the review. However, I think my next knife to try will be the new Whiteriver Ursus Cub. It will be a nice addition to my Whiteriver Ursus 45. About the same dims and also in Magnacut.
Neat compact cutter. With other options available I can't say I'm super interested. It wont be retiring my wtg klapatche thats for sure.
Great show and thanks for the info 👍👍👍👍😁👍
No problem 👍
I find the feather stick thing interesting as I do better with a full flat myself. Maybe that is because that is what I started out with, idk. Regardless, it is an interesting small knife, which I like. Thank you for the review as always.
Thanks Aaron for the video; nice looking blade overall. A bit smaller than I would prefer, but it is an ESEE with a lifetime gurantee.
Love it for EDC
NP for me making feathers
An ESEE made by white river… Yes please! This is on my short list!
White River's quality control is top notch for certain.
Now white river has their own little magnacut blade in production as of yesterday. I went ahead and ordered one
as much as I like Esee knives, and very much like smaller, EDC fixed blades for when I am not out in the woods, I don't think this one will be on my wish list this year. the very deep belly is something I like in a larger blade, but I like my smaller fixies to have a more narrow profile. I do not currently have anything in Magnacut but everything I have seen about it gives it pretty good marks for a durable stainless. the two knives in this size range that I tend to gravitate towards are the Tops scandi trekker, and the Esee Izula II. Thank you for this look at this blade, it has given me a lot of good information to weigh in on what knives to save towards. I am going to be looking into that Boker mini bronco.
FYI Sencillo is Spanish for simple or plain. I like the knife but can’t justify buying it because I have many knives in this category/style/size. Good video thanks
I love this little guy. Almost like a fixed blade Spyder Co Slysz Bowie to me. Except it feels better in the hand with no pocket clip or edges. Close to perfect for my edc needs anyways
I really like the design of that knife.
Great knife got mine couple days ago
White River made that knife for Esee according to some of the retailers out there.
This is true. White River makes excellent knives. I own several.
Yes they do!
I really would like to see a large Esee (like the 6 and the Junglas line, or a small machete) in a tough stainless to go with this
I would like to see your thoughts on the Tops El Pionero it's a tactical pairing knife! Thanks for the look at the new Esee!
Looks like a great hunting knife
I saw this knife . I really wanted an Esse Izula 2 in S35VN or Magnacut would truly make my day. The ergos on the Izula 2 are great. I have a Bradford Guardian 3.2 in magnacut and could not see spending on the Sencillio. Further more a neck knife I have the White River M1 Capo in S35VN which has the best Ergos ever. So here is hoping Esse makes the Izula 2 either stainless steel.
Cutting pepperoni with my Izula 2 left the black oxide metallic taste. The knife would be perfect if it were in stainless.
Buck Alpha Scout in walnut for me... just ordered. USA Baby!!
G'day Aaron, noth'n particularly wrong with it, though I reckon a compact leather sheath would be more in keeping with the design and brown micarta, ... done well, it'd get rid of that rattle too.
Probably better than most full flat folders, but in any case a little thin slicey fella is certainly not a secondary blade I'd be taking on the trail; just too limited in the wood processing department.
yeah, I'm with ya mate, more of a camp kitchen/cordage cutter and maybe around the house or EDC.
Like the look of that Boker as a small, camp utility, job. I don't remember you reviewing that one, coming soon ?
Cheers Duke.
I’d buy an ESSE in CPM Magna-Cut.
I found the sheath to wiggle something awful
And far too thin behind the edge, so repeated sharpening will make the edge too brittle
But hey I could be wrong
Great review, camp kitchen is dead on. Hey essee do a large camp kitchen version, maybe an 7-8" version with the same handle, HOME RUN in my book. keep up the good work Aron (sp?) - Cheers
I just hope they do the Izula in magnacut 😮
That would be perfect
or a xancudo
Viper Handy and a custom kydex sheath for me!
I just picked up a Viper Handy and completely agree. Will have a kydex sheath made. But the blade shape, handle, fit and finish, magna cut, blade geometry. It's a great little EDC.
The Izula II has a rich cousin now
Haha totally
Exactly
I wish ESSE would make a hybrid of the Izula II and the Sencillo. My dream knife would have the same handle and blade profile as the Iz II. But it would have the same blade thickness (1/8") and same blade steel (Magnacut) and slightly longer cutting edge as the Sencillo. I also like that the Iz II has a narrow, unsharpened ricasso between your forefinger and the cutting edge. With the Sencillo, your finger is right up against the sharpened blade. And, although the Iz II sheath isn't Kydex, it is a molded thermoplastic sheath that has excellent retention and no rattle.
@@SummitScene dude, you basically have the blueprint. Pay a shop $500 and hold your dream. A one of a kind. Just saying
@@SummitScenespyderco makes what you are requesting. Its called a mule team. They release sprint runs every year with different steels. You buy the blade ,scales and sheath seperate. Cost varies based on steel. But mostly around 150 bucks for a complete knife and sheath.
Great video buddy
I have the 4 in 1095, agk in s35vn(figured was better just for field dressing/skinning no brute work), I guess I need this one in like the 2.5/izula I need a widdler
I have a first production run in Magnacut. I freaking love it. If you want less belly get the Izula 2. Your alternate knives are all great but all bigger than the Sencillo. And in my opinion, realistically too big for real world EDC. To me, the Sencillo already pushes the limit on that.
Very cool!
That’s a nice knife!!
One of the things that controlled the price market on supersteels was scarcity. S45VN was hard to get. D2 was everywhere so tool steels became common and cheap. Magnacut is showing up in everything now. It's so common it's going to devalue collections of knives containing other supersteels. It's the Beanie Babie tipping point of super steels. Time to unload a collection if it was based on supersteels.
Why can’t there be just something between the blade edge and a finger? The izula has the right idea.
Totally 👍
Good points . It spoke to me as an edc fixed...it might be because it looks like it would cut like a spyderco folder...🤔...but basically if i want to carry a fixed cause i will go in the nature, a sturdier blade would be better and for edc, why not just stick to a folder 🤔🤔
Bingo
I was waiting for this. I’d like to see you also review the magnacut leatherman.
Already have check it out
Ok...hopefully you see this. The lack of feather sticking is NOT due to the high flat grind. It's due to the steep secondary bevel. I've re-profiled many knives that have factory edges that didn't carve or feather stick worth a crap and ended up with cutters that work wonders. It normally doesn't take much of a change to make it just a bit steeper so it cuts into the wood easier. If you go too much, you'll have a weak edge. Manufacturers often want to make sure the edge "holds up" but end up making dull performers. ESEE is ok on the bevel but not great. I have several and had to work about 80 percent to make them much better bushcraft tools. The knife clearly needs the edge worked...like many edges out of the factory.
Thanks for sharing!
😅⬆️👍
Great food prep knife in magnacut.
Wash it ,store it and doesn’t have a coating like carbon.
G10 3D grips would be nice.
Looks like a decent knife
Add a budget item like an Eafengrow EF121 in D2 kind of rounds it all out.
Izula II, 4, and 6 in Magnacut please
I’d love it for day to day edc if I was carrying a fixed blade at the time
Like you, I prefer a more pronounced tip. I'm not a fan of big bellies, especially in knives :). I think the Bradford Guardian would be a good comparison here, as well if you're looking to EDC it.
Basically I want the Esee cr3 in magnacut
Hi i would like to know your opinion on the cudeman sanabria , it comes in large like a bushcraft knife and the mini sanabria that it looks really cool.
What about the White River Sendero Pack? It's another alternate option.
So... for my Sencillo in Magnacut its been pretty nice as a work EDC. I'm not working with wood though so... there's that. The knife being super slicey like it is makes it a cardboard destroyer... even through multiple layers of thick cardboard.
I haven't used it for food prep yet... but I could definitely see it working for that. The wide blade does help give some knuckle clearance for when you are working against a flat surface.
All in all... the blade size, shape of the handle, and included clip make for a relatively compact and easy to carry package. Been very happy it was my first Magnacut fixie.
Nice glad to hear it has been working well for you!
This knife looks like a nice EDC to me. The length means I can legally tuck it away. The magnacut means I can par some fruit at lunch. My only issue is the sheath looks bulky.
The ESEE guys are saying it correctly!
Spanish for simple
I wish they would offer all esse in magnacut that would be sweet like the 4hm
As soon as i heard that sencillo was coming out in magnacut i was waiting for it to drop and bought it as soon as i could heard it was made by whiteriver
Hi, my name is Ben Salazar. I think I went to church with you at ORC. Did you ever go there. If so are you still there?
I did, but haven’t gone there in a few years.
Right now I'm so Smitten by the Demko Armiger4 I've been fine not trying anything new lol.
That one is pretty excellent
I'd take the magnacut over the A2 all day long especially when they're thst close in price. For a compact EDC fix blade the flat grind looks perfect but a taco style sheeth would ne better. For a bushcraft knife you can typically get a way with carrying something bigger with a more suited blade grind like a saber or scandi.
Please tell me the science behind getting a metallic taste in your food from a carbon steel knife. Thanks Erin
Nice but I’m waiting for the CR 3.0 in S35VN for three years now. Hopefully they can release it soon…🙏
I was going to pull the trigger on this knife but I just couldn’t buy a knife without hearing your thoughts about it.
Thanks so much that means a lot i’m always trying to do my best to unpack the tools for you guys, so you can make wise choices.
i'll take the esse in magna cut
I like it but the White River Backpacker Pro in s35vn is my go to small fixed blade.
The narrow neck doesn't bother me, in magnacut if the price is right it would be my next buy.
Sencillo is the Spanish word for, “Simple.” It is pronounced sen-see-yo
After holding one in hand, i had to pass. Just didn't "feel" right. Excellent review, sir!
Esee 3hm does 90% of what this does and works very very well at a fraction of the price. Esee is s company that does great work with their training and schools. They also do amazing designs for their blades… but they’re not known for innovation. Their stuff is mostly based around the same patterns from their original designs. I’d like to see them do an updated RB3. Make it and RB4 and thicken up the handle….That’s what I want from Esee
I apparently bought the last one on Amazon.
Awesome!!😎
Need to know the Rockwell
It looks like a nice small food prep/utility knife for backbackers. Definitely not a survival or bushcraft knife. It's probably intended as a small hunting/skinning knife. Either the Buck Alpha Pro or the Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter look to be far more functional. I'd like to see both of those in Magnacut. I'm fine with the pancake kydex sheath. Not a knife that interests me. Another useful review, thanks.
No problem! 😉
Hey Aaron can you please please please make a detailed video review of the esee cm-6 i would really appreciate it my wife just bought me one so id love to hear what your take is on it
I will see what I can do!
@@gideonstactical awesome I appreciate it! I love the channel you have helped me with so many blade decisions thank you so much Aaron 😊
Made by White River for Esee
Looks like a more refined Ontario SPL. I'd pay $50 more for that.
Really want that Buck alpha hunter in Magnacut. Hopefully the price is right
shrsl.com/4ehjv Here is the link, it looks like its going to be $250 with kydex sheath I believe.
The specs are different for some reason but thanks.
From my perspective the Sencillo in magnacut would be the ideal small fixed blade bar none minus the wide sheath. I do prefer the taco kydex GREATLY due to being able to carry IWB or in the pocket, but I can fix that issue myself.
I am never super fussed to make the perfect feather sticks I find. My usual approach is scrapings, a couple fine feather sticks that I put effort in, and then 3-4 rougher/thicker feather sticks that will hold the flame longer as twigs would.
For everything else I would need the Sencillo would excel! I find more use for thin slicey grinds in every day tasks than any other. Slicing up food, cardboard, cord, leather, small carving, fish & game. I also am often in salt water snorkeling so something so stainless like magnacut would be welcome in that environment. Also that handle looks kinda perfect! Currently my fixed blade EDCs are the CRKT BIWA (12c27 version) and Petrified Fish Bison which are both budget choices, once these get too worn I'll probably snag one of those Sencillos!
It’s not even really an ESEE knife… it’s made by White River and is a literal copy of a knife that they(White River) produced several years back.
Not even close 2 my Williamsbladedesign/trcknives SZK005 , or my HALF FACE BLADES CombatDirtNap !!!! My Best EDC blades!
Meh…. Now if they did a jg3 in a better steel then I’d be all for it… love that knife 😊
Thank you for reviewing this in magnacut. For me being a 30 year field bowhunter, I am very leary of magnacut as a true back country survival field knife. We have loads of data points on extreme abuse of other steels over an extended period of time, but virtually nothing on magnacut. For me I would not take a chance, especially at the premium price bump for anything magnacut for heavy field use. Thanks for the vid!
Glad I could help!!
🙄 🙄 🙄
u still using wooden bows and stone arrows? sounds like failure to adapt and evolve...or funds
Sounds like ignorance on your part. Cutting Board Reviews just showed Magnacut bending a blade. Also prior showed a tanto tip snap off. No one has any experience hard baton field use etc on Magnacut. If you want to spend couple hundred dollars on a fixie to say you have a case queen knife go ahead, but don't ridicule others without having any knowledge of your own.
@@BangkokMark 1095 4 eva
What is that green OR jacket?! Great vid btw!
th-cam.com/video/oH9BdV7GVWY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JQ5i61QsIzc4A0iW thanks so much here is the video on it!
It looks like a nice little blade. I’ve had it in my cart to checkout several times and can’t quite pull the trigger, I don’t know why but it feels like something is missing.
Thanks for your review, might keep waiting on this one.
The handle looks like a Bradford to me
The demko freereign magna is a better option
Would you say this is redundant with the Izula 2?
No this is bigger overall
Its spanish and it is pronounced sencilJo not senciLLo , means simple :). Well the knife looks ok. I agree blade is to high not only for usage but also aesthetically also the blade geometry is not what I would like, do not like the top is rounding down. but considering the steel used it seems in comparison to other knives from them, the price point is slightly better than other ESEEs.
After having a Bradford 4 for years, then getting the 4.2.. I’m completely done with designs like this that use “choil” type of thing for a finger guard, it just sucks.
Are you coming to the Texas Blade Show?
No, but I am shooting for Atlanta blade show.
@@gideonstactical Sorry to hear that. Hope to be at Atlanta as well. Thanks! 👍👍
It's around 255$ in europe. sadly way too expensive for me
Not listed on the Esee website? Weird.
That is very strange
F ! Reboot Joe X! I really am wanting that mini Bronco! Never thought I’d be buying a Boker for bushcraft 🤔
Ya I am looking forward to unpacking both
It’s nice to see Esee expanding their steel choices but this one is not for me . I have three Esee’s in this size range so it would be pointless to purchase . They should’ve brought out the Izula or C.R 3.0 in Magnacut . Better yet give us the 6 in CPM 3V or Magnacut .
Nope but would love to see the esee 6cm on your channel
What lionsteel was that?
B40 great blade just did a video on it.
@@gideonstactical thank you bro
Ya I’m not impressed with mine. Quality materials but the finger guard is way too thin and the handle makes your hand want to slide into it. If the guard was thicker like the Izulas I’d be a lot more happy and actually use it, but this knife just sits
Well its a darn nice knife i already have several knives in magnacut , spyderco mule team, ontario's spl pack knife.those two are very close to this knife. Along with a few others. All were cheaper than this knife. I want one but ill pass on this one for now.
Do you like the Mule team? I’ve never gotten one and I’m thinking about doing that.
@@gideonstactical yes i love it i have several . They make perfect edc fixed blades . Not too big but big enough. All you need is on sheath for several knives.
Knifecenter lists the HRC at 62-63
Nice!
Too soft. 64+ is where it's at for Magnacut
I agree with you!@@dualsportedc
