I'd be right there with you. I should probably clarify. I too would be inseparable with it mine, take it to dinner, out on adventures and cuddle with it, in my own bed, alone. 👍
I concur. In a similar case, I picked up the Cold Steel Master Hunter in 3V recently. A great knife design now offered in a great steel. Also, the Cold Steel Pendleton LIte Hunter in German 4116 Stainless is a great budget version of the Pendleton Hunter. On another note, as a new subscriber and fellow knife-nut/knife & sheath-moder (just made that up)/hand-sharpening enthusiast, I deeply appreciate your honest, unbiased, non-fanboy content. Thank you.
Glad you concur doctor. We need the stabilize this patient and get him an Izula with 3V. Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing. I really appreciate it.
Yep. I know. Perhaps when I said "I want this exact knife in a nice super steel" I was not crystal effing clear. I want that knife, the Izula in a super steel. Not another model, the Izula. I too am looking forward to the Pacaya. Should be interesting.
Mr. Tom!!!! I carry a Pendleton mini in 3v as a neck knife. Had to rehandle the knife for my rather large mits, but otherwise, it's an awesome unit. Keep up the good work,Sir.
I'd LOVE an Esee 3 in a better steel! I've really been wanting to try something in Cru-Wear, Magnacut, or K390. I do have a clone made in D2 which is awesome but the fit and finish isn't Esee standards. Great video!
I can’t imagine a limited run in a high-end steel being a bad idea. The sales figures would immediately tell their executives if it’s truly what the market is looking for. It doesn’t happen very often, but when you do come up with a good idea, it’s usually pretty stellar…
Premium line yes please!!! I would love a newly redesigned Esee 3 (call it 3.1?), with no choil, thick liners for bigger hands, and 3D contoured handles in micarta….Steel? How bout M390 or 3V? Make em $200 and I’ll buy some….
@@knifetimestory As long as you do not advocate skelotizing knife blades I support most of your ideas. But, this one is over the top good. I hope Esee is listening.
@knifetimestory Or how about a harder HRC!?! The softness of ESEE is the reason I stick with the harder Becker BK series. Both are 1095, and both have similar size models. Ive tried a few ESEEs including the Izula and Izula II, but prefer the Becker Necker. Maybe try the harder Beckers before jumping to a different steel?!?
You are right. That would be a quick and easy fix. They could mark them differently so you know you had a hard one and maybe it would not have the same warranty, but those of us who buy the hard one will be smart enough to not pry with it.
@@knifetimestory Im not talking a huge change in HRC, maybe 4-5 is all, but in edge retention, Ive seen a huge difference. And prying is for crowbars! LOL! (BK-2)
I would like them to go the other way. I want to see more of the knife companies making their really cool designs in very affordable budget steels. How cool would it be to be able to buy an Esee for $40 with 420 or 9crv. I don't mind sharpening
That is nuts. Randall Made Knives sells $500+ knives all day long. If you can afford it, buy one. If not...just look at the pretty pictures. Don't expect them to make a budget friendly version and dumb down their product just so Walmart shoppers can buy one.
@knifetimestory well it's just a wish. I can't afford to pay more than $60 dollars or more for a knife. But I like and enjoy knives as well as use them everyday. There are a lot of knife designs I'll never get to own because the steel is to high end. But my dad and grandfather taught me how to sharpen knives. So if the cool design came in a cheaper to produce metal that puts it in my price range then great. The price difference means I would have to use my sharpening skills more often but get more great designs in my hands. Nothing nuts about that.
I love esse knives ,but the softness of their steel is insane. I guess it is just 1095. I feather one stick ,and I have to sharpen it again. I know my carbon and stainless mora knives go dull ,but I can still cut the hell out of wood because of the edge geometry (scandi grind). Maybe esse knives are just for cutting Marshmallows.
Introducing from Esse knives in collaboration with knifetime time story. The new Dreams edition Izula in 5150 unobtanium.. With Dreams G10 Handles.. Good enough blade coating and last but not least..Our NEW Best of both worlds Custom leather and teklok sheath belt, dangler and neck knife sheath.. Love does come walking in.. Available fall 2024!!!
Nice one. Very clever how you snuck in a song title. I'm impressed. I also like the name of the knife. Thanks for watching and adding such a stellar comment.
Because they still market to the sUrViVaL crowd. They have dreams of hacking their way out of a crashed airplane and building a shelter with their ESEE 6
Tom, you're a real $#!- disturber, arent you? Hahaha! I love ESSE, and concur, BUT their handles are usually on the smallish side - except for their 6 plus knives - so i likely won't be buying another ESEE
Yes, I am Jeff. But, I can't help it. I've been buying them since inception and now that I've strayed away from my Izula, I feel guilty. The simple solution is to just make the Izula in a super steel and voila, you now have a best seller. I know that is what would happen. A rockewell of 56 is great for a butter knife.
@@BrokenBarBox "Please ESEE, please overcharge us for "super steels" like the other high end companies are doing. My knife won't cut unless I paid at least $200 bucks for it."
Yes I am. I'm not asking them to stop making the lesser priced knives, but add a more premium knife. Doesn't mean you have to buy it. Walmart has plenty of budget friendly options.
Dear Esee, Please forgive my friend Tom. He is in the early stages of late life and struggling. He is also forgetting much of what we learn in the 12 step program for knife lovers that love knives a little… You know the type. Can you believe he suggested that one of your knives with premium steel, and I quote “…would be the end of my quest looking for the ultimate EDC.” Can you believe this Lancelot? For a guy with his pedigree? The delusion is breathtaking. Admittedly you have to be charmed (and a little flattered) by the affection and attention. In a world of how many knife makers and then exponentially how many knives? Little ol’you and your coochy coo Izulla gets the nod from this old salty dog? To see the future we must look to the past. Here, repeatedly (and with feeling!) he has gone so far as to buy multiples of the same knife. Your silence here says all I need to know. I think we’re aligned. .. I see no early onset dementia either! Now for all we know, he could be reaching out to Creely for a special request Mako next week…. If the history of the channel teaches us nothing…I haven’t met his wife either but she must be destined for Sainthood. I like to think of knives like concubines. Wildly attractive to pursue and have around. The chasing might very well be the best part! Dog loves to hunt! If we look at King Solomon as a high water mark with a purported 900. And here we have my friend; also a man of obvious appetites, who has possessed and sold…the file has been redacted. We’re left with simply a best guess; shy of Solomon but certainly north of 500 to be sure. I can already see the epitaph in stone "Just.one more..." An intervention? I couldn't agree more. Call me.
I am the luckiest RUclipsr in that my core group of commenters is so well-read, intelligent, and articulate and writes with such flair and humor. Comments like this have such an impact on my motivation to continue to produce the finest in knife entertainment I can possibly create. It is not an easy task and quite frankly, I do it for my own gratification. Yes, what you are watching is me gratifying myself. I live out in the country and what comes with a sparse population, is an exponentially reduced possibility of crossing paths with a fellow knife enthusiast with whom I could sit with at the bar (salad, taco) and chat about knives. So, I have to do it with you guys and throw it out there and hope it is even remotely interesting. Thanks again for taking the time to write such a magnificent comment. Means so much to me.
I'm guessing ESEE knows how to run their own business. They're pretty successful at it. You want a different knife, there are plenty of other companies making knives in Magnacut and S35VN. Just buy one of those.
I'm guessing you don't know much about how a business works. For starters, the Izula II is a direct result of customer feedback on the size of the Izula. The Escabar is a direct result of a guy making one in his garage and Becker buying the idea from him. The stainless versions of the Izula and ESEE 3 are a direct result of customers begging for a stainless option. The Sencillo is a result of customers asking for something a little bigger and in a nicer steel.
Almost as much as your mother. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such an eloquent comment. You must be exhausted from such an effort to come up with that. 👍🏻

The ESEE Izula is available in S35VN and that's my EDC. Love it.
Yep. I have one. Not super enough. 😁

Esee laser strike is one of my favorites! If it was in cpm3v I’d cuddle it to sleep.

Kizer Smolt is in 3V.
Can't do Kizer. China is on my "S" list.
I would LOVE an ESEE 5, and a Junglas II in 3V
That would be awesome.
A2 and Magnacut are already in the lineup and soon 3V as well . As soon as dealers get the 3V Pacaya I’m getting it .
Yep. I know. Perhaps when I said "I want this exact knife in a nice super steel" I was not crystal effing clear. I want that knife, the Izula in a super steel. Not another model, the Izula. I too am looking forward to the Pacaya. Should be interesting.

The 3 and an Izula in the same steel and they could just focus on making them as nobody would be buying anything else.
I can’t imagine a limited run in a high-end steel being a bad idea. The sales figures would immediately tell their executives if it’s truly what the market is looking for. It doesn’t happen very often, but when you do come up with a good idea, it’s usually pretty stellar…
Spyderco does it all the time.
I wish I could get you to be that passionate about urging “Buck” to offer Magnacut (or at least S45VN) across the board on the 110/112 lines…
Well. Maybe I do that one next. You have a good point. They should do that!
Esee you can do it!
I know you can.
I'm down with that! I would 100% grab a izula 2 with a premium steel
I hear you! The Izula 2 with premium steel is like the superhero of knives-ready to save the day and slice through anything!
I would love a jg3 in high quality stainless steel
That would be nice too.

Glad you are on my team.
👍 I am with you 💯%❗️ The Izula2 in 5160 steel with Ironwood scales would be the perfect EDC knife. GO ESEE! You can do it. 🎉 🇺🇸
Cool. Thanks for the Yes vote.

@@knifetimestory You crack me up.

What about the white river backpacker? Comes in either S35Vn or magnacut
Not interested. I want an Izula in 3V or Magnacut. I think I made that pretty crystal effing clear in the video.
