Esee 4: Why I don't like it
Published: 10 years ago
This video will probably get a lot of hate and dislikes but please understand this is my opinion and experience with the knife.
There are a lot of good videos on the internet about esee but it is important that the cons also get out.
Tell me what you think.
ESEE's edge retention is sad. A mora will outperform it on edge retention with a smaller angle.
Maybe the 440c version is better? or maybe I have a failed heat treat?
I might make a video about the fast edge degrading later.
Esee is not a outdoor survival brand in my opinion. It just does not have the right specs for a survival blade.
I guess it would be ok for urban survival.
