Questions & Answers
Sheaths come in a variety of colors. 6P is a brown sheath with a plain blade. 6P- B sheath with a plain blade in black. S = serrated. 6S S = 6S S = 6S S = 6S S = CP stands for clip point, which refers to a back spine that has been sharpened.
Many people use the blade edge to strike a spark; they only use the part of the blade that is closest to the handle; you don't use much of it for cutting. However, because the rumors about 1095 rusting are greatly exaggerated, I always strip the coating off an ESEE or Becker 1095 knife and then simply apply a mustard/vinegar/tomato salsa patina to the metal, which is sufficient to prevent rust unless you leave your knives in standing water. It will not rust if you maintain it properly, such as drying it after a long day of use (I live in Florida, so this should be taken seriously).
Regrettably, that model was retired.

Selected User Reviews For ESEE Knives 6P Fixed Blade Knife w/Molded Polymer Sheath
It's an ESEE, with the best warranty in the industry, and it's made in the United States. You can get a knife for a lot less money, but would you trust it with your life in the woods or pass it down to your children or grandchildren? Anyone can make a knife out of 1095 steel, but the Rowen Factory's heat treatment is unparalleled, and it's well worth the extra money. br>The knife is lovely, but not to the point of being intimidating to use. Knives made by ESEE are designed to be used rather than displayed. You can see the torture tests for yourself by watching them online. The ESEE 6 is the knife I'd choose if I could only have one. In this price range, there are a lot of good knives, but the 6 stands out because it has a finger choil that some of the others don't. Most ESEE knives are carbon steel, so if you can't keep the blade clean and oiled, you're better off with a stainless steel knife. br>The Micarta scales are nice and durable, but they hold dirt and oil better than wood or nylon and are more difficult to keep clean. br>While the sheath that came with my knife is adequate, there are better alternatives available. It securely secures the knife. br>Overall, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this knife; however, if you're into Bushcraft, you'll probably need a smaller, lighter companion knife for finer detail work and camp chores. A low-cost Mora Companion HD or similar device would be an excellent option.
BUY THIS KNIFE AS WELL. So, I'm not sure where to begin as to why I purchased this knife. To cut a long story short, I was looking for a "budget" knife that I could use at camp or out in the woods. FAILED. I did not intend to spend this much money on a field knife, but I did, and I am not sorry. I'd buy the entire ESEE knife line if I had the money right now—all of them for no other reason than to have—because I fell in love with this knife right away. It's razor-sharp, tearing through wood and processing everything with ease. It not only looks cool, but it also feels great in the hand, as if it's going to work extremely hard and well for you. It's light enough to not tire you out while still being heavy enough to get the job done. I'm new to "survival"/bushcraft (I have to call it camping to avoid offending the city folk out here), but I was able to complete basic tasks with just one knife and confidence in my ability to handle it. You will not be sorry if you spend the money on a single high-quality knife. I'm already keeping an eye on the public relations-related stuff. 4 so that I can cover both sides of survival and bushcraft while staying in the same knife line. I also did something as a result of watching way too many YouTube videos. Please look at the photographs. The sheath is made of carbon fiber, just like the handles! That's right, I'm one of them. Why not make a fashion statement while you're at it? In addition, I can attach my fire kit to the Titan Survival Cord and rest assured that I will always be able to make fire. See the final image. Naturally, I'm going with black for the pouch, because style points! Whether or not the sheath has been upgraded is a question. BUY THIS BLADE AND BE DONE WITH IT.
This knife, as well as the RAT-II, are my personal possessions. It's frequently compared to the number seven. They're both incredible knives with a lot of similarities - It's difficult to explain why one is superior to the other, but it's worth noting that when I bought a knife for my brother as a gift, I got him this one (the ESEE 6). If I had to choose only one, I'd probably go with the ESEE 6 - primarily due to the warranty (ESEE offers a no-questions-asked guarantee). lifetime transferable warranty on repair/replacement if requested). This isn't a license to act irresponsibly, but it is reassuring to know that you can take the knife outside and put it through its paces without fear of losing your money. With the help of the RAT- I'm always a little nervous to use the 7 (and a lot of other knives, to be honest) to their full potential - I don't want to break a $100 knife in my backyard by batoning wood. You can practice outdoor skills at full speed with the ESEE, safe in the knowledge that it can be replaced if it breaks. It also has a 6 inch blade, which makes it more versatile than a larger fixed blade knife while still providing plenty of length to work with.
The fumes are extremely toxic. Although the knife appears to be of high quality, the handle emits an offensive odor. It has a very strong odor. I was very disappointed to find no mention of the Prop 65 warning on Amazon. Lead, vanadium, sulfur, nickel, and chromium are all present in WARNING. Companies should be transparent, and mine was not. I'll let the knife "air out" for a few days in the hopes that the noxious odor will dissipate. It is extremely toxic, similar to an industrial solvent, and should never be inhaled. br>br>*UPDATE* THE ODOR IS NOW MINIMAL AFTER 4 DAYS OF AIRING THE KNIFE OUT.
Everyone adores their special bushcraft knife, which I have personally used and found to be very effective. I have three of them, and they're all still going strong, despite being a bit pricey. Always ask for the manager if you're buying a couple of things and try to negotiate a discount. It usually works for 2010 to 25% off off off off off off off off off off They'd rather make a profit on a sale than not have one at all.
When a pitbull attempted to attack my black lab, I had no choice but to use it. Needless to say, my lab was unharmed that day, but the pitbull required stitches at the expense of the careless owner, which made me appreciate the knife even more, despite the fact that it broke my heart to harm a dog. I removed the powder coating and polished it to a mirror finish, but the sheath still leaves a lot to be desired, as others have pointed out. To carry my leatherman and bit kit, I made a kydex sheath and obtained the pouch. Overall, it's a great blade, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a knife with a lot of metal, plus the warranty is great!.
