Re: Looking for a good Hunting Knife
If he is looking for an excellent knife for around 100 dollars, either the ESEE-3 or 4 are wonderful choices. The blades are 1095 carbon steel and so take a razor sharp edge with very good edge retention. They can handle any task set for them from skinning through to camp chores…actually nearly any job knives are expected to do. ESEE makes superlative knives for a reasonable price. I have the ESEE 4,5, and 6 and would not be without them. You can see my ESEE-4 in another post regarding Clay sharpening my knives.
Mind you, I have customized the ESEE 4’s handle with museum grade Bird’s Eye Maple (by Randy Chinn), but the knife was good enough that I wanted it for my prize collection.
You really cannot go wrong with such a fine knife. Excellent value for the dollars spent.
All the best
