4”-5” Blades
 

What’s the best bang for the buck fixed blade in the 4” to 5” length? I’m leaning towards the Esee 4 or 5 (Rat 4, 5).

It’ll be more of a truck/bob blade for general use. If it fits the defensive roll as well then, that’s a plus.

Budget: $150

I have the ESEE4 and like it, but keep the baby Kbar Mike Lutz sent as a truck knife. 3/4 scale

I will second on the ESEE knives...my personal favorite. I have 2 of them and both are great.

Definitely on the top of my list.... just seeing if there are any other good ones in that price range.

Depends on how tough, hard, corrosion resistant and wear resistant you want it, how and how good you are at sharpening. Some of the new super steels are amazing, but most are difficult to sharpen.

let me look in ESEE in the morning, I might be able to help with that...…

A local place has their stuff for sale, not a lot of options but let me check in the morning.


You might get lucky...something you haven't been able to do for a while!

Another option is the Spyderco Street Bowie. It’s what I carry as an EDC.

I have the ESEE as a truck knife, however.
