- In this video I'll take a look at a new knife the esee 6... I'm a big fan of five inch or longer blades. So far it's very solid! I really like it! Enjoy!

I own this knife for serveral years and worker with it in the field on my bushcraft weekends. I still love it as i bring it along on every trip. I can recommand this knife to everyone. The lifelong worenty makes it perfect.
Nice video thanks
Very in-depth review. I might look into this knife. Thank you for reviewing JiuJitsu2000
Same color combo as my esee4. Love it! Just ordered my esee6hm with kydex a couple days ago. Super excited! Be careful... esee knives are addictive. Congrats and thanks for a great knife vid!
I’ve been a sub for a while now and I gotta say your videos are really good. You present things so things are really clear. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Smart & Helpful. Thanks Ken K
The deserts wild, just perfect cured firewood lying around. I live in south Louisiana where everything rots
My favorite knife
They really put a lot of thought in their packaging like the stickers, cards and tips
Cheers Mate!
i recently got the esee junglas man its awsome
Just ordered my esse 6 today
ESEE makes great products with a lifetime warranty. I don't have the "6" but do have a couple of others; all great knives. Thanks for the video.
Man I love your videos. You aren’t trying to sell anything but just out enjoying your stuff. Plus you get excited with new stuff just like me lol. I just got the CM6 and love it.
Thank you so much for the very kind words and support that you give my channel it's much appreciated!
@@jiujitsu2000 absolutely brother! Keep it up!
Well done. Im liking this. I see alot of these on YT. I have a KOA bushcamp. Very similar. Great review thank you.
Good knife I bought one about a year ago
Glad to see you so excited about your new knife!
When I first came across the ESEE6 I was also quite excited.
Then, one day I took delivery of my new Cold Steel Trail Master and my whole perception of knives suddenly changed. I now owned a knife that performed so much better than even my custom made Bushwhacker, that it nearly blew my mind.
This revelation made me see the absolute folly of the whole "One-tool-option" nonsense! Why would anyone in their right mind plan and prepare to go out into the wild with only ONE cutting tool? It's madness! The vast majority of people do not END UP in a survival situation (eg like a downed pilot) with only a small knife on them, or an SAK. Why would they, if they had prepared properly?
So the trick is to prepare well.
Now this brings me to the ESEE6. Where does it fit in?
Is it a "Large knife"? Well no, not really, as it only has a 6 inch pretty thin blade. So, despite the hype, it's not really suitable for heavy work, and doing what you did with the batoning is endangering the blade. If that snaps you're in even deeper smelly stuff! The chopping you did with 10 strokes hardly even made an impression - it's not a good chopper as the blade is way too light!
Is is a good belt knife? Well this is a bit closer but not the best. The benchmark knife here is the Cold Steel SRK. Let's compare them - both around 6" blade, but the SRK weighs about 4oz less! (That's 1/3 less!). The ESEE6 is 11 3/4" long while the SRK is only 10 3/4", so the SRK is quite a bit more compact. However the SRK is at the upper limit of what a medium size belt knife should be, whereas the ESEE6 is way beyond that. As you demonstrated the 6 is not so good at finer woodcraft work like feathersticking.
So, what I'm getting at is that the ESEE6 is neither fish nor fowl but falls through in between them, so doesn't really have a home.
Sad to say it, but the ESEE 5 has a similar problem, but for different reasons!
It boils down to this: one needs different knives/cutting tools for different things:
A Large knife for heavy duty.
A medium size belt knife for general camp chores.
A multi-tool knife for unexpected little tasks that always crop up.
A saw, for cutting limbs into logs, building material, any across-grain work. [This is a not negotiable!]
A drill - under certain circumstances some method of drilling holes is very important! [If possible, a brace & bits set! If not, the SAK reamer works for that size holes.]
An axe - ONLY as a luxury item, eg if you have transport (car, truck, quadbike, horse ), or for use at camp.
I hope this insight will help put things into perspective to some extent.
Cheers mate!
Are you on the spectrum?
@@JohnLocke1776 You inviting me to join you there? No thanks.
Esee makes good functional knives, a bit pricey, but not my cup o tea. I owned the Ontario 7 and the Esee 6 and sold them both. I dig my Cold Steels, LT Wrights, n Beckers... But great video!
Sick blade. Im trying to decide between the Esee 6, and the BK-2 or BK-7
Great knife. I’m getting one to replace my 10 buck Walmart survival knife. Tho the Walmart one survived really well. I have use it to dig up earth worms in rocky soil and banged the back of it with the end of a hatchet and it held up great 😂.
Skeet you just purchased a great knife. What I like about ESSE is the warranty they offer. I have several of there knives. Take a look at the knife center website you can buy a Kydex sheath and different scales with different colors. I would like for you to do a review after a few months and see what you think. ESSE just released there James Gibson ESEE Axe if you like axes.
Especially something costing that much going out and beating it up to test it it's my problem If I get something good I don't use it I save it I know it's dumb and I am getting over it with age cause I have had some cheap stuff and after a bit It just goes in the box as soon as it fails
I don't like batoning, that doesn't make me a hater, I just prefer carrying a small blade & a hatchet.
Batoning works fine and I've done my share over the years, but if I have the choice I use the hatchet.
I hope you enjoy using the knife. Please let us know how it holds up!
All the reviews I've seen on this knife said it didn't have a 90 degree spine. Did they add one or what?
I'm not usually a fan of a full flat grind on a blade that size, but it seemed to perform very well. Been thinking about getting the ESEE 5 for a long time.
Very nice looking knives, Always liked the Esee knives in general. Like the color as well. Matches my environment in the desert.
The fact that you can pretty much do whatever to this thing and it's covered under warranty against everything except normal wear is pretty awesome
That jimping is probably up that far because a lot of people would choke up on both fingers, and your pointer finger would be on the blade in that cut out spot for a finger.
Sexy. The knife i mean. Bought that same exact one. Going to pick that knife up today at the amazon locker
I'd really like to see how that DE coating looks after some wear. I'll bet it looks better than the black.
A great day. Cool knife too. Are those chemicals still dangerous if I stay out of California?
Lol no your safe, it's a good deterrent though
Good stuff, I carry an ESEE Izula daily. I've been thinking about a ESEE 6 for field use.
Have that knife. If the handle was the same micarta a tad darker and 3d handled id love it. Being used to becker handles i feel those flat esee handles feel weird and yucky
Can get 3rd party micarda scales
I enjoy the reviews you do. My question to you in reference to the Esee 6 is, as to the range of it available for sale. Do you recommend the 6 or 6HM OR 6 MIL ? Your opinion this regard would appreciated. Cheers
Thank you for the kind words and support. I don't have much experience with those other models but I can tell you that every ESEE knife that I own is fantastic.
What has lead? Not the knife.
Be careful who you buy esee knives from on Amazon. Esee themselves does not sell on nor endorse buying their knives on Amazon. That being said they say who they would trust on Amazon on their website, and it's only like 1 or 2 vendors!!!
I would expect a knife of that price range to throw sparks from a ferro rod right out of the box.
I was thinking about grinding the tip of my esee 6 down farther like the drop point on the becker bk 16
