Question 1

What all comes in the box?

Accepted Answer

Knife, sheath, belt clip, fasteners, decal, paperwork. I am very pleased!

Question 2

What are the differences between the esse 4,5, and 6?

Accepted Answer

ESEE knives are named after the nominal length of the blade (ESEE 6 has a 6.5" long blade, the ESEE 5 has a 5.25" long blade, etc.).   Worth noting, however, that the ESEE 5 has a thicker blade than the 6 or the 4, and is significantly heavier (the ESEE 5 is about 16 ounces, the ESEE 6 about 12 ounces). The ESEE 6 is (in my opinion) a more versatile knife for things like camping, food preparation, slicing, etc. and that's the first knife I purchased within the ESEE brand.  I'd consider the ESEE 5 for survival, etc. or any use where you really need the knife to be almost impossible to destroy. It's a beast of a knife, but probably *not* the most versatile. The ESEE 4 is a lighter and shorter version of the ESEE 6, which can be a little much given its blade length. It's probably the most versatile of the three, and for normal camping, etc., it's probably the best choice for all-round use.  I'd very much suggest selecting one of the ESEE versions with the newer "shaped" micarta handles (they may call them "3D") rather than one with the older design flat handles. MUCH more comfortable to use, especially if you need to do some repetitive tasks iike cutting or chopping branches for firewood.

Question 3

the overall blade length is given as 5.75 while all other Esee 6's are listed as 6.5.  Is this just a mistake or is the knife a different size?

Accepted Answer

The blade is overall length: 6.50", cutting edge length: 5.75″.

Question 4

before I purchase, I see comments about being for small hands, making it prone to slipping if you have large hands. truth or nonsense?

Accepted Answer

Not sure why ppl are saying that, but it's 100% NOT true. I have large hands and the handle fits me very well with room to spare. And the G10 grips are anything but slippery!
