Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Great knife !!
The Essee 4 is beyond what I had expected . The kife has a well made blade and can be used for batoning if you find a need to cut through brush, small trees..ect. Weight and balance is Awsome ! The knife was sharp when I received it however; I still put it on my stones and obtained the edge I wanted with little effort. The blade holds the edge well. After numerous cutting jobs it still shaves. The 1095 high carbon blades will rust and tarnish but, it isn't a big deal to me. Most important is the durability and edge retention . I recommend the kife to anyone from hikers, hunters, survivalist, backpacking. Best multipurpose knife I have found to date. This knife could only be improved with a leather sheath.
