Hey guys, prepared to wander out in the woods today and I got a new review for you
0:18
Today we are going to be looking at the Esee Knives 6HM
0:23
If you haven't seen this knife yet, it's been out for a little bit
0:29
They've taken their traditional Esee 6 and they've changed the handle on it
0:36
It's a much more ergonomic and comfortable style handle. It feels great in the hand and I want to review it today
0:45
This is the first time I've taken it out in the field. I just got this and have not cut a thing with it
0:50
I want to see what it does. Stick around because we're going to get into it
1:01
If you're not familiar with Esee Knives, they really make what I consider very no-nonsense knives
1:07
Everything is very practical. Their lineup of knives have not changed dramatically over the years
1:14
They really have had the same flagship models for years and years. There's a reason for that because I think they're reluctant to release new stuff just to release new stuff
1:23
When they do release something, you have to take notice because I think they put some thought into it
1:28
I think the handle change on the 6 is a vast improvement
1:32
I've had a 6 in the past and it was very chunky and blocky
1:38
I didn't care for the handle as much as I care for this one
1:42
Already, just handling this knife, it fits the palm of my hand perfectly
1:49
Like all Esee Knives, it's 1095 steel, powder coated. It has a drop point blade
1:57
Flat grind, full tang, made in the USA. This thing is razor sharp right out of the box
2:04
The flat grind on these Esee Knives is amazing when you get it
2:08
You'll be really surprised. You wouldn't find a knife straight from the factory, which you would consider a factory knife, to be this sharp and this ready to go
2:21
Usually, the powder coating I don't like, but it's kind of grown on me already
2:25
I kind of like this. Not able to strike a ferro rod with the back of it because of the powder coating
2:31
but I think the durability, how it's going to hold up and protect the knife
2:36
that's going to be something I'm going to keep on this blade. I think I want to change it
2:41
Comes with a Kydex sheath. That is an option. You can also get it with a brown leather sheath
2:47
I prefer Kydex just for the positive retention. Their Kydex sheaths are excellent
2:59
No wobble, no play. Holds the blade perfectly. It has this drop clip rig on the back of it
3:09
That comes off. You can change that. These sheaths are interchangeable with other components
3:14
They have a MOLLE system that you can buy and attach to it. If you want to attach it to the side of a pack, you can do that
3:20
There's a lot of options with the sheath and with this knife right out of the box, which I think is awesome
3:27
What I want to do today is process some wood, start a fire with it, and go from there
3:35
See how it does. I suspect it's going to be perfect, but you never know until you actually go out and play with these things in the woods
3:41
That's what I want to do today. I found this old board laying on the ground out here in the woods, so I'm going to use it as my platform
6:26
I'm getting really tiny little curls
6:56
With that 6. The wood is rock hard. It's been out here for a while
7:03
It's been aging. I think it's maple. Either that or white oak. I can't tell
7:09
It is super dense and hard, but I'm still able to get some curls going with it
7:20
A softer wood like pine would have done a lot better. That's enough to get us going
7:30
Start a fire. I'm going to start a fire
9:19
Tiny little curls
9:49
This is that wax wood that I reviewed in an earlier video
10:49
I'm going to start a fire. I'm going to start a fire

I'm going to start a fire. So far it's been very comfortable
15:10
I'm very impressed with it. I really like the handle. They did a great job changing this up into something that's more comfortable
15:16
You can tell that there's just a nice rounding of the micarta all the way around. You can tell that there's just a nice rounding of the micarta all the way around

15:28
So it just fits your hand nicely. It's a cool knife for sure

I don't see this as much of a chopping blade. I don't see this as much of a chopping blade
16:40
I mean certainly you can. I mean certainly you can. I mean certainly you can
16:46
I don't know. I'm not much into big chopping knives. I've had a few and they're alright
16:52
I've had a few and they're alright. I much prefer to go with a saw or an axe I guess
16:56
I much prefer to go with a saw or an axe I guess. Or a tomahawk if I'm really going to be chopping something
17:00
Or a tomahawk if I'm really going to be chopping something. Like I said I don't think I'd go any bigger on this blade
17:04
Like I said I don't think I'd go any bigger on this blade. The next biggest size that they have
17:08
You're getting into the jungles too. You're getting into the jungles too
17:12
For ESEE knives and that thing is just a monster I think. For ESEE knives and that thing is just a monster I think
17:16
I much prefer this size blade. I think this is very manageable for a camp knife
17:20
I think this is very manageable for a camp knife. For bush crafting
17:24
For bush crafting. For hunting. That flat grind is really going to be easy to maintain in the field
17:30
Really holds a nice edge. This is definitely going to be a keeper for a knife
17:34
This is definitely going to be a keeper for a knife. I really like this
17:38
I'm enjoying it so far. I think it's going to be fun to use this year
17:42
Looking forward to more use with it. Taking it out in the field
