So there's a Fallkniven F1 being Mass Dropped for exactly the same price, at the same time.
Why should my Benjamin go buy this rust-prone knife compared to the F1?

PaLeeESEE knives are made in the US by a company called Rowen, famous for their exceptional heat treatment of this steel. It's easy to sharpen and ridiculously tough. I've seen a video of an ESEE knife stuck in a vice and bent by a long pipe over the handle to add leverage. They couldn't snap it. This particular model has a feeling of perfection. It's simple but everything about it is spot-on. I have one. 1095 is the steel to use if you ever want to show off your sharpening skills. Less then a minute and you're shaving someone's arm. Yes it rusts, although mine never has and I dont oil it. You have to leave it damp. I've heard Fallknivens are awesome too. :P

TigermanThank you for the helpful information. I'm lazy and hates rust, so I'll likely stay away from the 1095 steels.

PaLee1) ESEE Made In U.S.A. 2) Best warranty in business. 3) ESEE 1095 steel is excellent. 4) I could keep going ..., but if you are seriously comparing two knives, one of 1095 & one made of stainless AND having significantly different handle and blade geometries, I imagine you are not really interested :-)
