I see a lot of hate for the 5 rolling around here. So I want to give my $.02. I carry the ESEE 5 six days a week. I wouldn't trade it for any other fixed blade. I wouldn't sell it for twice its worth. I absolutely love my 5. I work in the reclaimed wood business and the ESEE 5 doesn't give a second though to anything I ask of it. Pry a nail - sure. Mark a beam for a cut - no problem. Baton a 2x4 - piece of cake. Chop a 1x4 - hell yeah. Limbing small branches - you bet.
Not once has my ESEE 5 let me down.

selfbuiltBecause. Shit needs doing. And the ESEE is happy to do it. This is, of course, only as a last resort and the knife is then promptly sharpened.

English999I feel like you should be using a better steel then. Like a 3 or 4v. Maybe even elmax. I do not understand how you function with this in your environment but good on ya. Whatever works.
