RC6PB: ESEE-6P-B

ESEE Knives

Since 1997 Randall's Adventure & Training has designed no-nonsense, affordable field knives specifically targeted to military, law enforcement, and the special operations community. Many of their knives now serve in combat zones around the globe. The knives have a "no questions asked" lifetime warranty. ESEE Knives is also setting the standard for many local, state and federal law enforcement officers when it comes to high performance, compact sheath knives with multiple carry options. The NTOA scored the 3-inch fixed blade a 4.77 out of a possible 5. In addition to knives, ESEE also offers survival, land navigation, tracking and other training courses along with free survival information. 

The ESEE-6 is a wilderness survival and tactical knife that might just be the best all-around fixed blade on the market. With its 0.1875" blade thickness, it's the perfect blend between toughness and cutting efficiency all in a very svelte package. If you can only choose one fixed blade, then the ESEE-6 is the one for us! These knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel. And while 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for - especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH. The handles have Micarta scales that are durable and water resistant. The knife also features spine jimping, full tang construction, lanyard hole, and finger choil. The knife comes with a molded plastic sheath, clip plate, paracord lanyard, and cord lock.

Solid bushcraft knife
Aside from the Micarta handles that could probably be executed a bit better, it’s a solid, basic knife that will last a lifetime if cared for.

I've had my ESEE-6 long enough to have forgotten how long I've had it, but suffice to say it's been around the block a few times as my main "big 'ol knife" on dozens of deep backcountry camping trips and long distance bike tours. It's well made, feels great in the hand, and has held up to a lot of use where an axe would have been more appropriate. After years of beating on it the only sign of damage is a bit of the coating worn off of the blade near the tip. Despite it's large size it still handles more delicate tasks like food prep or feather sticks thanks to it's well shaped handle and ability to hold a good edge. When paired with a good folder in the pocket, I feel like I've got my bases covered. And when something is rustling in the woods at night, it's nice to have under the pillow.The cost may seem daunting, but it's a perfect example of you get what you pay for and/or buy once cry once. I expect this knife to be my go to for years to come. As is noted, it does require extra care to prevent rust compared to other steels, but it's a minimal effort. The high cost has been sufficient motivation to properly care for my investment.

Buy once, cry once
I was on the fence about this knife given that the nearly identical Ontario RAT 7 could be had a nontrivial discount, but I listened to David C. Anderson's advice and spent the extra cash. Boy am I glad I did. My nephew and I are avid bushcrafters and after a weekend of making bark cordage, fire building, and deadfall trap making and setting, it became immediately obvious that the details made all the difference.The difference in the fit and finish become most noticeable when chopping and batoning, but even when doing delicate tasks like notching and making feather sticks, the ease with which the knife indexes to the proper grip makes it an extension of your hand.So far, it has been a constant pack companion for three years and has come in handy often enough when I wasn't expecting it to warrant it continuing to be a constant carry. Between it and my Izula II, I pretty much have the tool set for 99% of my outdoor cutting tasks covered.
