Very true Ruben I use my esee RB 3 and mora garberg for everything food, carving, skinning and all camp tasks and fire building the scandi grind knife has served me very well for yrs
I've had my RB3 now for about 1 year. Best knife I've ever used. The 3 inch blade makes it very easy to control for carving, making notches or any intricate bush craft projects. Highly recommend the RB3.
I recently picked one of these up. Liked it so much I bought 2. Shaving sharp out of the box. Feels good in hand. Had a nice sharp 90°spine with scraping a ferro rod and making fluff. Nice leather sheath too. No complaints whatsoever. I hope Esee produces some more scandi grind knives.
Good to hear the design rationale behind a particular blade , especially from the one who designed it . Patrick is right , you really " hit this one out of the park " . Thanks Reuben , for designing such a well thought out , super functional , ergonomic and very aesthetically pleasing knife . I think it would make a great companion blade to an Esee 6 , or perhaps even a Junglas . ATB
Love my RB3! Fits my system realy good. Togheter with a bigger blade with a difrent grind in my pack, I have a good system for most tasks when I hit them woodlands. The RB3 feels great in the hands! The Blade length is not to big, the weight is good but dont feel to heavy om your belt. Scandi grind for this size - yes! Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪🇺🇸
I got a sherade SECH36 and soon realised that "survival knives" are dog doo. I modified it, taking most of the coating off, faltening the spine, and changing the edge angle to as close to a skandi as i could get on a hollow grind. It is now easier to sharpen, and carves so much better, and i will put it through its paces battoning to see how the edge holds up. You too can buy a $50 1095 steel blade and make it into a real bushcraft knife, u just need a file, sharpening tool and fine grit paper to polish the scratches out.
Hello my outdoors friend. This was a great review of a fine quality knife. Thank you for sharing. I am in the market for a new bushcraft knife. Take care, be safe and have fun. 🤗
Ok then...you sold me. I've been on the fence for about a week on weather or not to get this but I liked your pitch. Cheers guys and keep up the good work.
I got one a few weeks back and so far I'm very pleased with it...and I don't see that changing. It's a very comfortable knife with a great blade geometry. It's a good bush knife as a large blade isn't really necessary in my opinion. 1095 is a great steel that takes a laser edge.
I have one and find it to be a very good small camp knife. My only complaint is the blade is an advertising billboard on both sides of the blade. Couldn't that information be placed on an insert with the knife?
Indeed, it is YOUR knife and YOU can do with it as You choose and of course YOU don't have to listen to a customer if YOU don't want to. Your puffed up arrogance is evident on YOUR knife and YOUR reply to me. I must correct myself. Former customer.
Billy Two Knives sorry you took my reply as arrogance. It’s hard to read tone in a reply and you read a tone in my reply that wasn’t intended. However, it’s good to have options and you are free to exercise yours. All the best.
You can really tell if someone has experience with a knife if they put their thumb on the spine of a knife. It is not secure, dangerous and you have no control, thank you for demonstrating that.
Quequechan Sasquacha-cuacha Buschraft, your comment is so hilarious! :-D Hide behind your keyboard and a profile with the word "bushcraft" in it and then you show everyone just how little you know by posting such a dumb and silly comment. Such a cruel irony! :-D Good luck to you, bro.
