ESEE Thread

[Irving]

A lot of guys have recently picked up some ESEE knives and there were a few threads before the crash. Here you can post up your pictures or discuss specific models. Thought this would be a good place to post the video of a survival contest that ESEE put up a few years ago. This is the second place entry.

I EDC an FDE Izula. I need to sharpen it, but it serves me well.

Do you do anything to prevent the edge from rusting?

I put a light coat of oil on my blade during storage. I also check it pretty frequently. I think CLP may work fine.

[DeusExMachina]

No, is that common?

Are ESEEs made by S&W?

[Irving]

Haha! I guess the steel used is not great for rust prevention, but everyone says that as long as you actually use the knife, it keeps the rust off.

ESEE knives are carbon steel and the only exposed part that will rust is the actual edge because the rest is powder coated. Normal use usually prevents the rust. If I'm not using a knife a lot a simple wipe down with some CLP is what I do
once in a while.
ESEE is it's own company and not owned by S&W. USA made, blades made by Rowen in Idaho I believe, and no questions warranty.

One of the main reasons I went with my ESEE was because of the carbon steel blade. I have found I can maintain and keep a much sharper edge on a carbon steel blade than a stainless one. Nothing rusts here in Colorado anyways. There isn't any humidity.

He was making fun of my gun.
