The ESEE 4 is a dyed-in-the-wool survival knife. In fact, it might be the bar by which all survival knives are judged. Combining a stout blade stock and a tall flat grind, the knife can bust through your toughest batonning jobs and still slice a tomato without any trouble. As tough as it is, it's also compact and light enough to not bear you down on the trail. Whether you're a hunter, a camper, a bushcrafter, a prepper, or anything of the sort, an ESEE 4 is a worthy companion!
ESEE Knives are made in the USA and offer the most thorough warranty on the market. They're built for a lifetime!
I've been interested in the ESSE 4 for quite sometime. However, the older and more narrow handle kind of put me off for a while. That was until they updated it with this new contoured one. This one feels so good in the hand and I love the OD Green blade with the natural canvas micarta handle. Usually I'm not a fan of the glossy micarta as it tends to be kind of slippery. But this one is not like that at all. Also, I was kind of worried that the OD Green would be a lot brighter since different pictures on the internet make the OD Green look to be 3 different colors. But I was very pleased with the green when I finally had it in hand. The knife comes SUPER sharp out of the box and the plastic sheath is very adequate. I can't wait to take this guy out hiking and to a campsite and put it through its paces.
