Product Description
This no-frills fixed blade from ESEE won’t let you down on your next camping, hunting, or hiking trip. The overall design doesn’t push the envelope, but that’s okay, as this formula—drop-point blade, micarta handle, scandi grind—has proven its utility in the hands of many outdoorsman Read More

The Knife Connection has these for $94.95 shipped. They're an excellent, excellent online retailer, and they also sell their own G10 handles for ESEEs, Beckers, and maybe some limited others. I'm so glad Massdrop is featuring makers like ESEE, but in this case, the price is pretty uninspiring.
I have two other ESEE fixed blades. They're incredibly tough, easy to sharpen, and top-notch in the field. I think this one would be a no-brainer at $80, and compelling around $90.

Amazon currently (10/08/2018) has these for $106.75. Am I missing something here to why it's more here on Massdrop?

sixsceptresAccording to my calculations $99 is less than $106.75. Not a whole less, but less.

PaLeeAgree with Benjabooly. Honestly depends what you're looking for. Arguments for the ESEE: 1) one of the best heat-treats in the business. These things get stupid sharp and they're really tough, yet easy to sharpen. 2) No nonsense lifetime warranty. 3) Better ergos and better grind for a wide variety of woodworking tasks vs the F1. For the F1: 1) Stainless steel with a great heat-treat. In many ways I think of VG10 as the stainless equivalent of 1095, and Fallkniven does right by it. 2) Slightly better design for survival-oriented tasks--ergonomics, grind, dimensions.
Hard to go wrong either way. Ultimately it comes down to your preference and what types of uses you have planned for it. If you're nit-picking, you could argue that the F1 offers better all-around utility, and the ESEE offers better manners for carving.

What makes this worth more than a Mora Companion, which seems to be basically the same thing for a fraction of the price?

That does seem to be the general consensus with ESEE, and you have to respect a knife maker that uses a 'boring' steel in an excellent way instead of padding the spec sheet with more exotic materials.
