If I Could Have Only One Knife, It Would Be the Esse-5

Esse knives are outstanding—a perfect blend of quality and value—and the Esse-5 is no exception. When I make a purchase, I’m not looking for the cheapest or the most expensive, but something that delivers reliability and long-term worth. This Esse-5 is a knife I’ll own for life, and then pass down.

As a serious survival knife, the Esse-5 is among the best. It inspires confidence as a tool you could stake your life on. This is a heavy-duty beast of a cutting tool—sharp, rugged, and built like a Russian tank. With a ¼-inch blade, its durability is no joke. I think breaking it would take extraordinary effort, which in a survival situation would give you peace of mind when you need it most.

Despite its toughness, the Esse-5 is also refined. I found the fit and finish excellent, and the ergonomics top-notch. At 16 ounces, it has a hefty weight with great balance, making it a pleasure to handle. After speaking with Charles, the owner of Stay Ready Outdoors, I went with the canvas Micarta handle. It provides superior grip in wet environments and feels great in my hand.

This knife is an American-made workhorse. If John Rambo ever decided to downsize from his signature blades, the Esse-5 would be a top contender.
