    I hate that saying… “a large knife can do everything a small knife can do, but a small knife can’t do everything a large knife can do”
    That’s why surgeons do surgeries with machetes… different tools for different jobs. It’s easier to gut an animal with a small knife and easier to de-limb a tree with a large knife. Pack the tools for the jobs you expect to do

    Of those 3 I'll go 6 all the way. It is my favorite of their survival/field knives. I love the 3 and Izula for esc though.

    Man I remember your ESEE videos from years ago! Those caused me to buy my ESEE 4 that I carried for years before I went down the custom knife rabbit hole.
    So glad I found you again.

    To my knowledge it was Lynn Thompson of Cold Steel knives who said that a large knife could do anything a small knife could, but not vice versa. It's on You-tube, where he's talking about his large CS folding knives. Great ESEE knives by the way.

      Very likely. I first heard it many years ago when Nutnfancy was talking with someone (possibly from Gerber knives) while at a Blade Show. I’ve heard it several times since, just not sure who originally coined the phrase.

    The best knife they have never made is a Esee 5 with the thickness of a Esee 6.

    Purchased the A.G Russell Sand Box Bowie 10 years ago and is ...Light, Strong, Fantastic Grip, a cry once Buy Once. I've only the ESEE Izula II and love it equally. carbon steel it great because its tough and easy to deal with and the look of carbon is constantly changing into a new appearance so uncoated in the only way to get that but the logo does disappear I wish they would go deeper with the laser or do die stamped. Just saying I like the look of the logo on my esee izula II but its basically not there any more for posterity

    Tim, I just got the 4 and it seems perfect to me. I think I may have smaller hands than you. I like the 4 because it is not visible under a untucked shirt so I don’t have people freaking out when I’m at a camp ground. I may get a 6 next after I save up for it. Thanks for the video.

    I’ve told you in past videos that I have the 4 because of your recommendation. Absolutely LOVE it! I’ve since taken it off my pack & now rocks as my truck knife. If I had to choose another, I’d pick the 6. But since you’re asking us to pick just one, I’m staying with the 4. Wish I had all 3!!

    I love Esee knives, and I’ve had almost every model. Could never decide which one to carry and compromise with. Ended up grabbing an architect ak 6.5….. with the 6.5 I got the scales I wanted, the Kydex sheath…. And the Sabre ground bigger blade in cpm3v!! Loving it, while I still love the esee’s.

  • @sarge27271
    @sarge27271 2 месяца назад +2

    Hi Tim. As an owner of an ESEE4 and 5 I'd get the 6. Here's why: The 5 is a f9cking tank!! If you're cutting through car doors for a living, get it!! AWESOME TOOL!
    The 4 is insanely convenient and practical. However, the 6 can do tougher jobs, yet can also do smaller intricate work. More of a slicer than the 5. And can do bigger jobs than the 4. So to me the 6 is the sweet spot. BTW, ESEE should have KYDEX on their sheaths. Charge $5 more but no plastic. Cheers

    Great video, I appreciate your knowledge and expertise. I have the 3, but is kinda small. Looking at the 4. But now I’m really thinking of the 6.

    • @GearReviewDepot
      @GearReviewDepot  2 месяца назад +2

      If you already have the 3, the 4 may not seem much of an improvement in size. Especially if you use the scales it comes with. The six will be a noticeable improvement on all points.

  • @redbear_70
    @redbear_70 17 дней назад +1

    I still have my esee 4 and 6 and they're both well used. But between the two I'd have to choose my 6.

  • @WhispyWoods.
    @WhispyWoods. 2 месяца назад +1

    ESEE knives are great. I really wish the ESEE 4 didn’t have that choil. If the blade edge went right to the handle with maybe a sharpening choil, I’d be ok with the short rounded handle.
    I agree with your pick of the 6!

    I have a CS Survivalist for about €90,-- Now, I really like the looks of Esee6 a lot, but they cost more than 2 times the price, about €210,-- over here.
    Sincere question :
    Is the Esee6 really 2 times 'better'? Stronger? Tougher? Stays sharp longer?
    Thanks in advance to all responders!

      @@GearReviewDepot Thank you. It's the 5.11 Tactical Covert Box Messenger. I think 5.11 lists it as "Covrt". It's fairly straight forward except for some straps inside which I can only assume are for quick opening? And still 2 other straps that make no sense at all since they connect to nothing. So odd.

      I unfortunately haven’t had the pleasure of playing with the LS. However, it’s an ESEE, I haven’t absolutely no doubt it’s a great knife. Back when I had the whole collection, the LS didn’t exist. It’s on my wish list but keeps getting pushed down the list because I add more than I buy. 🤣 I did have the Junglas for a while years ago, loved chopping with that beast!

    “Had these for a lot of years”
    “Seen a lot of use”
    Bro the logos are still legible, the blade finish is unmarred. Even spending an entire day washing a used knife like that wouldnt make them that clean. “Had it 14 years” yeah and the hardest use it got was you shaving a patch of arm hair for a video.
    Displaying them by sticking the tips into a piece of hardware store lumber is the closest theyve ever come to tasting firewood
