Pros: Overall Quality, Blade Material, Finish
Cons: Blade Sharpness

Great knife!

I bought this as a second SHTF knife; the original is a Becker BK2, with a scout draw sheath from Hedgehog. The ESEE is a much better knife (to me), more than justifying the increased cost. I'm waiting for another Hedgehog sheath...the one that comes with the knife is fine but I prefer a leather sheath. Count me as a fan of the ESEE knives. 1095 steel means it will be easier to sharpen though it will require more care.

I love this knife!

It feels absolutely great in my large hands. A perfectly balanced and weighted fixed blade. Before purchasing it, I watched and read numerous reviews of bushcraft knives. This ESEE-5P knife (and its bigger brother, the ESEE 6) always stood-out to me. I wanted a fixed blade greater than 5" (check). I wanted full tang construction (check). I wanted thumb jimping (check). I wanted a useful multi-purpose pommel (check). I refused to pay more than $199 (check). I also like the scaled Micarta handles for its grip. Admittedly, the bow-drill divot will probably never get any use from me, but it's nice to know it's there, just in case. It's simplicity, elegant design, sharpening ease, and price sold it for me. The included sheath is sturdy and holds the blade nicely; although, with a slight bit of blade wobble. I suspect I'll probably cave in the future and buy another ESEE knife to pair with this beauty.
