ESEE ES4PKO 11, 43 cm, outdoor knife | Blade length: 11.43 cm-Handle: Black Micarta-Model 4 Plain Edge, Stainless Steel, Multicolor

I put this thing to the test right out of the box in MT on a mule deer. It held it's edge better than anything I've used on deer before. It will need sharpening about once or twice though if butchering a whole deer which is not uncommon. I highly recommend these knives. To me they are the best value on the market and I've tried quite a few of them. The US steel is the best in the world. Stop buying cheap chinese steel crap if you want a good knife. Also, go buy the Esee Junglas. It's another badass for bigger serious jobs and great for camping or around the ranch.

My friend told me I'd like this knife. I rolled my eyes, but bought it anyway, because I liked the look - instantly became my favorite EDC knife. The size and weight are perfect for me (5'10, avg) might be a bit small for larger hands. Incredibly sharp, amazing lifetime tranfeable warranty, durable, and high quality. My handle came grey, but I soaked the micarta in cutting board oil (let it pool and rest on each side for an hour) and it developed a lasting and beautiful black.

First impression of this knife when I picked it up/handled was the most solid knife I own. It’s heavier than a Kalinga or Ka-Bar. My first ESEE knife and certainly won’t be my last. I've seen EDC in a lot of comments but it's rather large for an EDC for me. The forever warranty sold me and it’ll be my new clam shucker. Clams destroy every blade I’ve tried with that warranty who cares. Got the knife for less than $90 dollars and should have bought the last 2.

Knives are similar to cars and women. Some you like. Some you don't. I like this knife. It's a good all-around size. Very sharp, very tough. Not difficult to sharpen. It does require some type of anti-rust coating on the blade, however, as it is made of 1095 steel. I carry this knife when I'm working in my pasture. If I were to go hiking I might rather take the bigger ESEE 5 and a smaller pocket knife, but for everyday use this is a good knife.

Very nice knife for bushcrafting. Also use in kitchen. Buy before price goes up.

First impressions- awesome! I bought this version without a sheath. I do leatherwork so no big deal. I will fashion a sheath. This knife is everything I expected and more. The size is perfect for bushcraft. After having bought this one for my outdoor adventures I sure as heck am going to get the esee 5 for my survival vest. Love this knife.

lo utilise solo en pruebas de corte y emplumados de madera liviana, no retiene bien el filo igual que un 420 o 5cr15 ...un acero 14c28N o un 440C incluso un Chino 8cr13 sera mejor... hice revision para mi canal de Youtube y si pudiera lo devolveria para comprar un cuchillo Chino o Espaniol de marca registrada, entiendan que cuchillos de este tamanio seran los que compartiran nuestros alimentos en un campamento o en situasiones de supervivencia, cortar pan, queso, jamon, carnes, pelar frutas y vegetales en nuestro campamento... y el recubrimiento nos intoxicara? ...se oxidara rapido el filo pelando fruta? ...cuchillo sobrevalorado como la linea Ka-Bar ni siquiera trabaja bien en madera liviana... me quedare solo con mi Esee 6 para tareas en madera livianas (no hago batoning) ...este cuchillo en 440C seria genial, pero no vale lo que piden.

Easy to carry
