ESEE-6
The ESEE 6 is the longest knife in the numbered ESEE Knives series and the one built for the woods instead of a flight vest. It carries a 6.5 inch drop point with a 5.75 inch cutting edge, 11.75 inches overall. And here's the surprise: at 11.8 ounces it weighs less than the shorter ESEE 5. ESEE put the extra length on 3/16 inch stock instead of quarter inch, so the 6 trades pry bar strength for reach and a faster swing.
ESEE 6 Knife for Camp and Big Game
That extra blade length pays off in camp. It reaches through a full round when you baton it, limbs saplings for a shelter frame, and splits kindling without bottoming out. It also has the length to open up an elk or quarter a deer, which earns the ESEE 6 a place among serious hunting knives. The ESEE 6P is the plain edge, the 6S adds partial serrations, and the tan, olive drab, and black builds come in Micarta or contoured 3D G-10 and canvas Micarta handles. If you want a true chopper, the Junglas II among the additional ESEE models is the next step up in size.
ESEE 6HM Thin Stock Bushcraft Build
The ESEE 6HM is more than a new handle on the same knife. ESEE shortened the blade to 6 inches, dropped the stock to 0.15 inch, and brought the overall length to 10.75 inches. The thinner spine slices and carves noticeably better than the standard 6, and the 0.86 inch thick modified Micarta handle stays comfortable through a long afternoon of notching and feathering. Choose the ESEE 6HM with leather sheath for a traditional bushcraft knife setup, or the Kydex version if you work in wet country.
ESEE 6 Molded Sheath Colors and Carry
The standard ESEE 6 rides in a molded sheath that comes in three colors, so you can match it to your pack or vest. Spares in black, coyote brown, and olive drab are stocked on their own. The sheath takes the 5/6 clip plate for belt carry and pairs with the 5/6 accessory pouch to keep fire and signal gear with the knife. A MOLLE back moves a blade this long onto a pack, where it won't dig in when you sit, and every part for it is in ESEE accessories.
