Can you trust your life to this knife in a realistic survival situation? My answer is YES. And I don;t say that lightly. I am very particular about my outdoor gear and I only by the best, ever. I am deeply impressed with ESSE knives, they can take the punishment, and they perform 100% as advertised. Watch any You Tube video from private reviewers and time after time you will hear nothing but praise. This knife is also worth the investment of a custom sheath, even though that is rather pricey, it is just that good. Esse-5 is a bit heavy compared to most camp knives, but has a good feel in the hand; although chopping with it requires one to adjust the grip towards the bottom of the handle. LIfetime Warranty, says it all right there. The only thing I found useless for myself is the recess in the handle meant to be used for a bow drill. I drilled the hole out to 9/16" and inserted the best small size compass I could get as a modification, but still no complaints on my end. For just normal camping you could not do better. Carbon blade hold an edge for a long time, and the black coating doe not wear off easily as with most teflon coated blades. Cut, chop/baton, bushcraft of all sorts. You will need to keep a light coating of oil on it after you start using it, but other than that 100% best you can get.Read full review
