Overpriced
Too big for real outdoors use, cool to fuck around.
You'll get sick and tired of a knife that big and heavy and cumbersome if you spend days outdoors and have to do menial tasks with it daily.
ESEE rust like mutherfuckers
Lurk around on the second hand market for one at a better pricepoint, quality knives only gain character with use.
I have the cm6 which is ok. I considered buying a 3 for mountaineering but set my mind on better options.
ESEE are good "package" knives, good knife+sheath pack for the beginner or for gifting someone.
