A few years ago we tested the Esee 4 and we concluded it wasn't good. After many comments that I probably had a knife with a wrong heat treatment and some nice death threats we decided to give it another go! We bought ourselves the Esee 5 to see what it's all about! Will prevail? or will it fail? Find out in this all new episode!

@RandallsAdventureESEE 5 лет назад

Thanks for the Review....I will say Ive never understood how this knife garnered a bushcraft following. Indestructible, yes....bushcrafty? No. Our knives are heat treated to 55-57HRC and as a few have pointed out, this knife was developed to allow pilots to cut themselves out of a downed aircraft. It is a tank with steep grinds and essentially a sharpened pry bar, which is what we were asked to develop by some SERE folks. I personally don't own this knife as I prefer the thinner options in our line for more bushcrafty and normal use. Hopefully our fan boys will take it easy on you guys and an ESEE does NOT end up embedded in anyones plural cavity! LoL....We appreciate what you do and do NOT shy away from negative feedback....we are working and moving forward as a company....I can say that with absolute confidence and I am looking forward to what 2019 and beyond has in store for ESEE. Keep up the good work guys!

@DutchBushcraftKnives 5 лет назад

This is what I love about you guys. Honesty, not afraid of feedback and keeping it nice! As we said in the video you guys are awesome people! Your explanation here makes total sense! The esee is indeed a crowbar with an edge and that's where it shines. It takes a crazy amount of beating. There is no perfect tool, only the right tool for the job. The esee 5 is not for bushcraft but did get a large following there. We hope to talk to you guys in the future on the podcast about your thoughts and what it was designed for. Again! We really appreciate you guys reacting to this in such a positive manner. Huge respect from us to you all. Looking forward to see what 2019 has to offer!

The three fixed blades I use outdoors are in D2, N690 and 1095 (1095 being my Esee Laser Strike); and, yes, the 1095 is dulling fastest out of the three, no question. But: The edge retention improved a lot after sharpening the knife a few times. So I guess the factory edge is especially bad concerning edge holding? Maybe due to the heat of the grinders used for the initial sharpening? Just a guess, I am not an expert by any means

Bark River I do not trust. Had bad experiences with them. Bravo 1 and 2 severe edge rolling from just a bit of chopping of pine wood. The heat treat was worse than sh.t. Also overpriced.

@@umbalaba got a mora, i have a vast collection of good knives. Overall my favourite is the British army survival knife. It is a beast, the blade is 7 inches long and 6mm thick. It is the easiest knife to sharpen in my collection yet it holds the edge for a long time of usage. The phosphate coating lasts a long time but it was a pain when mirror polishing the cheek of the blade. Overall it is the best knife for the money, may come a tad blunt from factory, but if you can't sharpen it you don't deserve it. Plus it must be the coolest knife around.

In my humble opinion, the best bark river knife made that will handle everything but real chopping( carry a small camp axe) is the Aurora LT in A2. Thick enough for bushcraft, thin enough for food prep, skinning, and fish cleaning. Easy field sharpening when it needs some touch up. NOT a fan of Esee. Love the BK 5, 7, and 9.

The ESEE 5 is a beast, it isn't meant for camping/bushcrafting, it is meant to help you get out of a very bad situation that I hope nobody finds themselves in. This knife is designed to get you out of a downed aircraft (if you even survive that) and then give you some options for surviving after that. I have used mine for splitting wood and get a fire started but I have no experience using it to cut through the aluminum fuselage of an aircraft and hope I never do :)

@joshuagenovese36 5 лет назад

Great video and review. I own 2 ESEE blades , both the 4-5 and though they dull fast, and don't slice well- I can honestly say that they will get the job done. Maybe not fine feather sticking but enough to get a fire going, will cut , prepare meat, will dig and pry and if you put a 90' degree spine on them they will throw spark. Not a knife that I would call a Bushcraft but a survival knife- Yes. Easy to sharpen, easy to fix if chipped. Just my 2 cents....lol. Anyways, Bark River if you want slicy , own 2 of them as well.

Good Job guys!! My experience is the same as yours.

Given I was told by "somebody whom apparently knows better then me" that this knife was designed for military purposes as "SERE" Purposes ( Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape ) and it was meant to be like a "72 hr use" and then discard.... The BK2...much better knife all departments, just my personal experience. And I agree with you guys, i cannot recommend it, I don't even know why it is so popular. Cheers.

It's a heavy duty survival knife that you can sharpen on a river rock if needed and not break. Check out JoeX's destruction testing videos he hates Fallkniven because they break so easily. The Esse 5 has many handle options as well. Remember the harder the steel and higher the Rockwell the more easily it will snap in half. The harder steel may hold an edge longer though. I'll take a soft steel that bends before a hard steel that shatters in a survival situation and that is what the Esse5 was designed for. Thanks 👍

@Wolf_K 5 лет назад

Bryan Marsh While BRKT can produce a decent knife they also produce a lot of defective product but sell it anyway so be aware of this well documented fact. Also, be prepared to sharpen it at least 4 times to remove the damaged apex steel from dry grinding during stock removal...this goes for almost all knife companies. If dry grinding is used then edges are most definitely burnt and damaged. This is scientifically proven. I own a few of their knives but I will no longer support the company, buy their product, or recommend them due to the amount of highly defective knives that get out in the public and are sold as “premium quality”, and the outright lies the owner tells (sells) to people. Any knife maker can make you a similar/same custom knife for much less.

Good combat knife.. not made for Bushcraft as much. (Mora garberg is better for cheaper. Or condor terosaur with the skindi grinds)

Great to see some ESEE after all this time. 😀 It's not a bushcrafter so no surprise at your findings. I've never seen that kind of edge damage on mine though; you guys taking edge lessons from survival Lily? *Throwing tomatoes* Thank you!

@lukaspfeiffer4751 5 лет назад

I dont get why they temper the blade to so low hrc 1095 should be able to handle 59-60 hrc just fine. still i think they should Use better steel. The knive is supppsed to be a Military survival knive and it isnt even rust resistant and the protective coating is bad .if you want a good stainless steel that also ist pretty tough i would take rwl34/cpm154 or cpm s35vn at 59-60 hrc. I think that would work just fine or am I completely wrong?let me know.

@j.r.peters7234 5 лет назад

I own a esee junglas and have put it through more abuse than you could imagine. I can tell you guys right now that you got a bad blade. Handle shape and fire steel aside, there is no way it should chip, dull and have its coating come off like that. Esee is known for how good their 1095 is, it's almost bizarre how good they can get it. I know you can only judge a knife by what you have in front of you, as such I really respect your honesty and integrity in giving us this review. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching.

A very true video...Had you also had the knife for more than a few days you would have noticed how very easily it RUSTS only great thing about this knife is its sheet but you can't use sheet to survive

I once had to cut the oil drain hose on a large generator with my ESEE Izula II. I had to use quite a bit of force to get through it in tight quarters. Once I got half way through it the resistance dropped about 80%, I lost my control and cut a small channel in the concrete and RAMMED my top into the steel support beam. Here was about a 1/16” section of the edge that had the tiniest roll on it and the tip was still splinter removing sharp. After spending maybe 20 seconds dressing the rolled edge, everything was fine.

@grandriver3152 5 лет назад

Couldn't agree more. I customized my BK7 with a file, sandpaper and a needle and thread for the sheeth. Took me hours to carefully remove the third notch on the thumb ramp and custom fit the handle. Now I have a killer tool/weapon in a compact package that completely solves my big knife need without extra expense. Great bonding experience.

@buddhamack1491 5 лет назад

@@johnnyra2437 Fair enough, I've never used the BK7 myself but I have a chopper similar in size and have compared it against my brother's BK2. I just know that the boys aren't much into larger knives so they don't buy a lot to test so it's unlikely we'll see it.

Buddha Mack I sold my BK7 to finance a Bark River Bravo Vortex. I don’t regret it at all. Bark Rivers are far superior and only a little more expensive.

@chriszablocki2460 4 года назад

You didn't talk about the striking element on the base. It has a window smasher. A beefy one that might have some fighting applications. It's clearly more tactical than Bush craft. And it also comes in 3d handles now.
