ESEEKnives 3P Fixed Blade Knife with Molded Polymer Sheath

Je suis instructeur de survie, je m'attendais à avoir un couteau qui soit effectivement efficace pour mon travail.Malheureusement après 3 sortie dans le bois ce canif va finir aux oubliettes.L'étui est de mauvaise qualité.Même si vous l'ouvrez d'une main ( C'est pénible, il vous faut le tenir même à la ceinture pour pas qu'il ne bouge pas à l'ouverture.La lame est mince et vous ne pouvez pas utiliser un firestell avec le dos de la lame ou autre.Quant au tranchant,🤬👎eh bien une sortie et tout est à refaire.Bien déçu de la marque.Mon premier et dernier pour un prix aussi haut.

This is my second knife from Esee, the first being an Esee 6p I received as a birthday present from my wife this year.I really like the 6 but just wanted something as a alternative to my Case stockman which I use as an EDC knife, which the Esee 3 seemed to be the best choice for me.The Esee 3 does not disappoint in any way as far as quality, craftsmanship and its razor sharp edge. Although I was a little skeptical about getting the desert tan, I am happy to have it and will probably change the color with each additional Esee I purchase. Yes, the 6 and 3 have me hooked on this brand!I chose to get the standard micarta “flat” scales over the G10 3D so that the knife would be as slim as possible when EDCing it. If you plan on using the blade for hours on end, I would definitely consider the 3D scales, as they are super comfortable on my 6.Although I just got it today and haven’t cut much with it, I can’t tell ya this is a keeper and gonna be a great little knife. I can tell you that although it is thinner than the other Esee’s, it is still robust and feels substantial in your hand.If you have any doubts on purchasing an Esee knife, I can assure you won’t be disappointed. Make the purchase!

High quality tool I feel I cold trust my life with when chips are all down on the concrete. This Esse 3 fits the bill as a tool that will be there when you need it. Its small and easy to carry even on your offhand side useing the provided plastic sheath. The fit and finish was dialed tight. It came sharp and once stroped popped hairs off my arm like they where trying to get away from the blade edge in a hurry. The sheath operates as it should. I will be making a kydex and leather sheath so I can scout carry,dangle, and regular belt carry. I like options in how I carry depending on my load out etc. I think for most the regular sheath should cut it for 90 percent of users and uses. I bought this as a edc not for concealment but to have on belt ready at hand for what ever needs cutting. The handle is grippy and the short blade will keep it on my hip even when I am in more restricted communities that like to limit the amount of options you have for personal defence. I have used it to carve a trap trigger and cut open amazon boxes in the few days I have owned it. I have had knives since I was a wee one roaming the hills of Northern California. I see good things in the future for me and this knife. If on the off chance this knife gets fubared I can send it back no questions asked. DEAL!!! The only problem I have now. I want more Esse blades....

OK, let me start by saying I just got the knife so I have no experience with the durability. HOWEVER! Not only based on the many videos and reviews I've read but also based on the solid heft of this thing I have absolutely no worries about it lasting the rest of my life. Then again, I'm old, hahaha. Anywho, I am a real stickler for detail. Let me tell you, I've examined this baby with my reading glasses on and it is absolutely perfect. The handle scales are perfectly symmetrical, the blade and tang are shaped perfectly and finished beautifully, and the grind is exactly the same from tip to handle and even on both sides. Plus, I gave it the old hair shaving test and it passed easily and the tip is needle sharp. Mine has the micarta handles. From the pictures I couldn't tell if the micarta would be slick or not. No worries! It has a wonderful feel to the hand and also has great traction. I haven't tested it wet yet but I anticipate that it will still have good grip. The sheath is also outstanding. There seems to be a question about whether it's Kydex or plastic. I couldn't tell you which it is, but to me it doesn't matter either way because it does its job with flying colors. It's very solid, retains the knife very well (perhaps a little too well) and it came with the screws and clip to enable you to configure it the way you want. Plus it has a little para cord hanging on the bottom with one of those round clips so you can adjust it. I'm not sure what that's for yet but just letting you know it comes with it. Even the box and packaging is nice - a few stickers and what not in there as well as some survival tips on the back of the box. One other nice thing is the knife and sheath fit nicely in the front pocket of your pants. I've tried it so far on two different pairs of pants and it fits, so at least you have that option if you want. After going back and for between the Izula, the 3 and the 4, I'm glad I settled on the 3 - it seems to be the perfect size for EDC and is capable of just about anything short of batoning large pieces of wood. Not that I'd be afraid of it breaking, it's just that it would be a little too short. Then again, try EDCing a 4 or five inch knife - I don't think it would be too easy. In short, I can't see anyone being disappointed with this purchase. Oh, one last point - I've heard a lot of guys talking about the handle being too short. I have no idea what they are talking about. I have XXL hands and all four of my fingers go around the handle. When choking up on the choil there is at least 1/4" of Micarta left and if you count the exposed tang it's close to 1/2" of handle left. UPDATE: OK I've lived with this knife for a couple of days now and have used it quite a bit. Three things I'd like to add: 1. As others have said, it's not the best at edge holding (at least with cardboard boxes), however it IS very easy to get hair popping sharp again with just a leather strop. I know ESEE's approach is to make a tough blade that can be easily sharpened in the field. In this regard they succeeded. 2. The way the sheath holds the knife against my side is perfect. It might ride a tad high but it stays absolutely snug to the body with NO telegraphing through clothing. 3. Take their advice and add a little Locktite to the clip mounting screws. I just heard "TINK, Tink, tink" a few hours ago because I neglected to do so and lost one of the mounting screws. In place of that one I'm temporarily using a zip-tie. Use Locktite!

It's an ESEE. It's well made, ergonomically perfect for my size hands, has great edge retention and can take the abuse. I have some other edc knives that I like to carry on my belt, and felt this one to be just a bit big for that purpose, but that doesn't mean I won't put it on once in awhile for daily carry. Other than that it's a perfect knife for me.
