- Even without BLADE Show 2020, we can still talk about a new ESEE. We got a look at a new prototype that makes an awesome EDC fixed blade on top of camping and survival duties, as well as talk ESEE's adoption of S35VN steel. See more knives from ESEE here: kcoti.com/30K1R2A

Thanks for the opportunity to speak with you guys David and KnifeCenter! We do appreciate it.
Thanks for taking part in Blade Show Week! We had a blast talking to you, and can't wait for these new knives.
Release date?
It's been so long since Esse first showed off the CR3.0(not released yet) that in the time since then, magnacut was released which offers not only really good edge retention but incredible rust resistance👍 It would be absolutely incredible is Esse decided to make the CR3.0 in magnacut instead of S35VN🙏
I think it’s very cool that he said they support the secondary market!! I wish more companies would branch out like that!! @David and @knifecenter thank you for bringing us these virtual bladeshow videos and y’all are doing and awesome job with them!! And thank all so much !! Also thank the guests that have been on!!! 🙏🙏👊
We like to take care of those that take care of us and makers in the secondary market are always pushing our products and brands! we appreciate it!
The Esee CR 3.0 is like a UFO. It is said that it exists but no one has ever really seen one in person.
Izula S35VN really does makes sense. Cheers ESEE
I’m surprised they didn’t release the S35VN Izula/Izula 2 the same time they did the S35VN ESEE 3 and Xancudo..same with the Candiru
We appreciate it. We heat treat these to 60HRC and they will hold a very sharp edge for a long time!
Agreed 100%
I have an esee 2 that I edc and I cant wait to get one in s35vn and support this great company :) Collection: Izula 2, Avispa, Lazer strike, and esee 3 (sold because it was a bit small for my hands)
@@mikeziter501 The s35vn Izula is pretty cool for sure. I'm gonna have to get one for sure as well.
I have the cr2.0 and love it. I carry it everyday. When can we preorder these?
His last answer is great. I appreciate that he called out his actual collection like the LT Wright and the custom.
I have always liked the LT crew and many new makers.....so many good folks and talented people in our industry.
Such a genuine feeling explanation of the company and its goals. Awesome!
I have a small survival kit loaded into a Maxpedition pocket organizer (tucks into a pack, cargo pocket, center seat console). This knife looks like a good addition to that kit. Thanks for sharing.
Most of the PR4 reviews that I read always comment on the handle, usually negatively. There is even an aftermarket to change the handle! I wish ESEE would offer an alternate handle, or perhaps offer liners added to the current handle to make it slightly thicker.
Thank you for all the content, very informative but also very relaxing to listen too. Its a real pleasure to hear someone talking in such a gentle matter about knives.
Pretty excited about the CR 3.0, it is good to see designs that are made with actual use as a fore thought in the design rather than a footnote. It has got to be tough as a company trying to please so many different people. Many companies tend to cater exclusively to the collector or light use crowds with designs that don't work well for extended field use at all (especially in the folder market). It is good to see offerings that do not compromise purpose for aesthetics.
we have leaned that it is impossible to build THE KNIFE....the one that EVERYONE likes....we focus on doing what we feel is best and do our best to test them with real dirt time in the field. We make adjustments and go from there. We have a knife set to debut at SHOT Show I am VERY excited about that has been in testing for almost 18mos and have only recently finalized the design.....more on that later.
Man the esee guys are just down to earth and good people. Makes you really like and appreciate the products that much more.
We are a blue collar company run by blue collar folks.....no much pretense here and if you want to know what we are thinking....just ask. You will normally get a pretty straight answer....sometimes...you may not have to ask! lol
The izula really was a no Brainer for s35vn. I've been wanting that for so long now!!
When?? And I hope a black oxide finish is still possible with it!
I edc a fixed blade everyday at work. I was looking at the izula 2. But ended up getting a white horse backpacker in cpm s35vn instead. Had the izula been in s35vn at the time I would have bought it. Probably still will, but that’s what I wanted. And the white horse is still a really damn fine blade!
@@TheGunf1ghter Did you mean White River? Can't find a company called White Horse anywhere.
@@GuyInAHotdogSuit69 yes, sorry white river. I don’t know why but I seem to always call it a white horse.
Amen! Things that work! Most important thing that most knife companies miss!
One of my favorite videos yet of knife week! I am glad I held off on getting the 2.5!
Esee is a grt company. I started buying them because of the warranty, but I hav yet to use it. 1095 is a tough blade. I am looking forward to the CR 3.0. Life time guarantee 💯
I‘m probably in on the 3.0. I carry compact fixed blades every day and I’m constantly looking out for offerings in the 3“ realm. Not much out there that works for defensive applications, when it comes to reverse edge techniques. This I will definitely check out, since it’s the first production knife in a long time, that speaks to me. I‘d probably reshape the tip a little to make it pointier though.
A PR4 with more confortable handles, thx :)
I'm excited to see what ESEE comes out with next. I'd love to see a couple models in 3V, mainly the Junglas, and the ESEE-5. You know, the ones that should be bomb proof. I think it's smart to keep the S35VN to your smaller models, its great your running them at 60 HRC.
at 60HRC it's harder than woodpecker lips but it holds a GREAT edge...and will still stand up to some hard use.
Love the knifes. Have they qiit making lighters. I just bought a bic for a couple of bucks
I've carried my Esee Izula II in my Armatus sheath every day for the last 2÷ years. My Esee 3 is my backyard knife and my Esee 4 is strapped to my pack. I cant say enough nice things about Esee.
Our company has been built on word of mouth advertising by guys like you....we cannot express enough gratitude for what you guys have done for us as a company.
@@RandallsAdventureESEE we wouldn't be saying such nice things if you didn't produce such a great product.
I’m getting a cr2.5 now and a 3.5 later when it comes out
I need a 3V ESEE 6 ASAP...I’m glad to see the ESEE 4 is getting a S35VN upgrade but I will have to sit it out...I like the ESEE 4 but I wish the blade was a bit thinner..the ESEE 4 is a jack of all trades but a master of none...I absolutely love my S35VN ESEE 3..I’m not really a batoning type of guy so that 60rockwell is great..if I fell the need to baton I will baton a little with my ESEE 4,ESEE 6 or ESEE Junglas...keep up the great work ESEE,I’m a huge fan of the knives y’all make
Try BMG Knives I got he makes a 3.5 and 4 inch all the way up to 7 inches he uses you're choice of steel 3V, Z Wear,etc he made me a sweet 4 inch blade knife called a spade its 3v full flat grind although he does all grinds and I got it with nice kydex sheath and beautiful handles in my color choice g10 for $210.00 it can slice,Baton,whittle fillet etc.I have bought many so called survival,Bushcraft knives and I finally found BMG KNIVES and He makes the best imho.
I’m on board for sure….!!!! I want one..!!
Where is the cr3 available??
So far these are the nicest knives this year ! I love those little ones .
appreciate that....I think this knife will only build on the loyal following of the CR2.5....gonna make a LOT of people happy with this one.
Great video, looking forward to the CR 3.0. Heck the CR3.0 in 1095 would be great too.
This knife is a perfect neck knife. Worn around the neck with a nice line and sheath is perfect.
When is this going to be in the market??
Can't find this knife on esse website would love to purchase one in s35vn any help is appreciated
I would love to see the 1095 be swapped for A2, its hyper 1095 :D
I’ve been wanting to see ESEE start using A2,O1 and 3V for a while now
@@garrettferrell6821 3v or Z wear Would be awesome I would pay a higher price especially for Cmp3v it is some tough stuff.Check out BMG knives he made me a 3.5 inch edc knife called a spade it is awesome and sharp as all get out and his kydex sheaths are awesome that come with his knives.
personally I would love to see some 3v in our line up as well....we are warming to the idea.
3V ESEE 6 would be hard to resist for me! With 3D contoured handles, naturally. -DCA
I carry my 440c izula every day. It’s my favorite knife. It’s great at everything. Except self defense and cutting through tomatoes. I think if you added an inch to the izula’s cutting edge and quarter inch to the handle you’d have yourself the best edc on the market. S35vn is great steel but I love AEB-L. Performs like carbon steel but is stainless. You make that knife and I’ll buy two :)
We appreciate the feedback!
Randall's Adventure / ESEE actually I take back the handle part. The handle is perfect. Just a touch longer blade.
I have a Little Pouter from LT Wright in AEB-L. I also have a Smith and Sons Axiom in AEB-L, might be my favorite steel. Strange, as it seems to have relatively the same "toughness" as 1095, stainless as 12c27, and as easy as carbon steel to sharpen. What I really love however, is the ability of AEB-L to acquire a razors edge. The K2 carbide is a dream for thin stock knives - maybe the perfect steel for a small blade edc.
These guys (esee) are so down to earth. I apprciate them lots. If they had an esee 4 in 3c and i would preorder now
All the food prep size ESEE knives should have uncoated carbon steel versions
It’s mid year 2022 now, and I’ve still not run across one of these. Sup with that?
(The go to answer is Covid for everyone about every thing of course)
2022 is over and still
They just dropped the ball, 3 years of promising a knife...
Will the CR3.0 only be available in S35 or will there also be a 1095 version?
Down the line we will be offering 1095 options for the CR3.0 and the Xancudo fixed as well....no idea when....but it's coming.
I really like the prototype you focused upon in this video. I'm very surprised that several words didn't come up in the conversation, such as: caping, bird & trout and camp paring. ... When these drop, if the price is reasonable, I'll be getting several for gifts. ... Thanks for the very thorough discussion. It was outstanding.
S35VN + ESEE = Greatness
Thank you.
Sweet blade. Kudos. I own both an Izula II and a 5. Love 'em!
If the CR3 is available in 1095 with the new 3d handles I'm in!!!!!!
What battlefields are they talking about???
When does it come out?
Early Fall.
I love the adaptation of s35v and changing up the sheaths. I'll be grabbing a 3.0 and an AGK when they're out. I already have an izula in 440 but it'll be hard not to get one in s35v, but I would really like an izula 2.
we appreciate it!
Hi. Nice knife. Did I miss the model #, link for this knife to the web site, cost, etc. Or is this knife not available till April 2021? Or available for an hour, sold out in 10 minutes, then never again. I may have missed for all the details and stuff. My apologies. But nice knife. I could use it in so many places and like the size.
I have no idea,I didn’t hear these things either but I would say it will be reasonably priced.I was quite surprised when I got my S35VN ESEE 3 for not much more than the 1095 ESEE 3..Im sure when it is available it will probably sell out pretty fast but I’m sure plenty more will release in the following month or so,that’s how the ESEE 3 went.I kinda lucked up and got my ESEE 3 S35VN from the first batch..the serial number is 0054.I can’t remember what site I bought it from but it was from a smaller and less popular online store than Knife Center,Blade HQ,SMKW,etc..surprisingly,I got mine a month or more before the bigger stores had any in stock
It is the CR 3.0 - they have not been released yet. The two prototypes on my table are the only two in existence right now.
@@knifecenter any updates on the release of the 3.0 not that I need a new knife but I need a new knife
I have not seen the CR 3.0 yet, is Esee bluffing?
A conscience decision to prioritize their current line, rather than rolling out the new promised offerings. Losing faith in the company.
Definitely like to scout carry and that would work wonderfully, can't wait to get mine :))
I want an Esee with a blade made from a lamination of Adamantium and Vibranium. From my knowledge of fictional metals, the Adamantium would be the cutting edge sandwiched in Vibranium.
Fictional metals for a fictional knife. Makes sense.
Still waiting
That looks fantastic... I would definitely like one. Available when?
Early Fall is our goal!
@@RandallsAdventureESEE Hurry! Gotta have this one
@@charliebrown2359 Doin what we can .....this Covid mess has our supply chain/manufacturing/shipping all screwed up....every facet of manufacturing has been affected in one way or another....we are doing our level best to meet demand....rest assured of that.
Nice video. Have several Esee knives and other products. And trust is indeed a big factor in me owning them.
we appreciate that trust and it is what guides us.....and forces us to hold our own feet to the fire at times. Thank you.
I liked the cr2.5 but I love the idea of this cr3.0. I’ll get one
if you like the 2.5.....then this one is a home run....
As soon as the Cr3.0 is available I’ll have my order in, and if the cr2.5 came in s35vn I’d have it too
A new favorite and you can't even get it yet. And I would absolutely also EDC the thing. I is a knife i was looking for from them. I enjoy anything which is properly engineered for its' function, therefore am drawn to this company and the equipment they provide.
We do appreciate that....if we don't like it....we don't put it into the market....we have drawers full of ESEE Knives that will need be bc we could not embrace the design for one reason or the other...
Shane sounds more country than I remember from high school.
Great knife.
That was me trying to clean up the drawl!
So no laser strike stainless with 3D handles? Maybe next year :(
Yeah,I would rather see the S35VN Laser Strike with 3D handles than the S35VN ESEE 4...I think they ESEE 4 is more attractive than the Laser Strike but that means absolutely nothing,I think the Laser Strike is a better performer than the ESEE 4
patience grasshopper.
Love my Lazer Strike. I'll be saving my pennies ;)
Esee CR-3.0🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I want an esee but I can’t decide. Have tried rb3 and loved the blade great cutter hit handle not for me. 3hm love handle but didn’t love cutting. Anyone want to tell me which one to get hahah
I wish they would hurry up and release the S35VN 3HM...I love my S35VN ESEE 3 though I prefer the handle on the HM series
I carry the CR2.5 more than any other ESEE knife. I will use the knife I carry and this one finds it's way in my pocket with a Jou Fuu sheath or Armatus Sheath in horizontal cross draw. Many people come to our company thru our large knives but one thing I notice is that as people acquire more skill and more dirt time....their knives tend to get smaller and more compact.
Finally seeing the light and using steel that is up to date. Congrats and thank you.
it isn't that we were blind to it....we just had to figure out where they fit in our ethos and line up. We are doing a LOT of behind the scenes testing and look for more to come.....albiet at our pace.
Dude iam just goin to say the same thing. Super great videos. Bought some new knives from KnifeCenter
When you put them out, I'll pick one up.
I have 3 esee knives and this is exactly why 👍great company
Is thia out yet, reminds me of a super stout RADA Knife lol
Loving it keep up the good work can't wait
Seeing that new little 3 incher made me crave steak. It would be the perfect knife to bring to your favorite steakhouse.
I love my 2.5. I'm in on a 3.0. I hope the sheath is better than what came with the 2.5 because it useless.
I agree...I hate our sheath....I did wet form the leather one and it made it better.....some....
Looks like a bird knife.
Would be great for upland hunters.
I do some upland/waterfowl hunting and it's very good for that. GREAT trout knife as well.
I really like the new looks
JG3 in S35V would've been real cool.
Good kite X is awesome kite X is awesome Did I mention that cried X was awesome
Great company with awesome products. I’ve been using the Esee 5 for gardening (a little unconventional) I know, but definately think I need to give the new CR 2.5 a shot
Just get it out there so I can get my hands on it
I want this knife!!
You should not make a ESEE 6 in 3V because the demand would be so great you would not have enough banks to keep that much money 😎
I’m buying
sweet little fixed blade.
appreciate it!
Looks like my cutco steak knives lol 😆
The 3.0 knife would be more of a success if the blade itself would be an inch thicker as well as the handle.
The last comments from Shane makes me love ESSE even more
back at'cha!
Let your hair grow, David.
If there's one thing I know about David C Anderson...
he's got larger than normal hands......am I right?
@@RandallsAdventureESEE I was excited to see the notification that someone replied with the right answer, and then I saw who it was. That's awesome. 🙂
Only slightly larger than normal ;)
Too much talk want to see the knife More
23 minutes for 1 knife...
Yeah.....I wanted to see some info on their new folders too. I didn't watch the whole video after reading a few comments.
@@megacab No new folders at Blade Show.....but SHOT is just around the corner and you never know.
Wow 23 mins on a small knife wow and they still dont give us a sharp back edge this the worst wast of time..23min
one knife on one knife lucky I skipped to the over to the end..I like your videos I watch them all the time ..but is a wast of time..
Yikes......disappointed is a understatement.
we can't please everyone and we've gotten OK with that....we think many will appreciate the CR3.0 and there are more coming down the pipe we are pretty stoked about as well.
Boring cray boring I fell asleep
First
I'm glad they're not going S35VN in larger knives. If they do go with a different steel in those it should be a tool steel. Not stainless but can get better edge retention and maintain toughness. Something like 3V or 4V.
3v/4v keeps popping up on my radar. I have a larger LTWK in 3v and really like it and I have beat the holy hell out of it just to test it....
