ESEEJames Gibson Pinch Neck Knife, Molded Sheath

This is typical ESEE quality. Nice small blade. I like the wharncliffe shape blade. Very sturdy, came sharp. Obviously very capable knife, but very small. Very small. In big hands, this knife would be hard to grip in a standard grip. Great knife if you want a light, sharp, sturdy knife you put on and forget about. Great for folks that are weight conscious like hikers/back packers. The sheath is amazing. Very cool sheath. Obviously, in big hands, this knife would be used in a pinch grip hence it’s name.For the price though, why not just buy the Izula? It is super light, much more versatile for hand sizes, and more capable and comfortable. Just my .2 cents. I’m keeping this one as a back up to my back up to my back up. Redundancy. It’s a neat little blade. Obviously, awesome quality and warranty.

Con: The sheath the blade comes with is a tad bulky for the size of the blade. Blade steel rusts if you don't regularly care for it.Pro: The knife is small enough to not be in the way. Study enough that you would have to seriously abuse it to break it. Made of a quality steel, so it will take a decent edge.In review: at some point I will likely make a small kydex sheath for it and maybe put some kind of finish on it to keep it from rusting, but otherwise it is a great little knife that will likely find a place in my EDC for many years to come. I recommend this knife.

I'm compelled to wear this, much more so than something large and cumbersome.

I almost always have a necker. I want it as a tool to be available all the time. Neckers make that easiest for me. I also want something light, light, light. Otherwise I wont wear it on an everyday basis. ESSEE makes the best knives overall in my opinion. The steel is high quality, they come razor sharp and the only knife maker that offers unlimited lifetime guarantee.This particular model is the lightest and I will wear it everyday due to that simple trait. It's a well made small knife, not junk and not a toy.

Even though I knew it was small it was still smaller than I anticipated. Really neat little blade that is more useful than you would think. Especially after adding a paracord lanyard to give a better grip with 3 fingers. Sheath is interesting but I haven't figured out the way I'd prefer to carry it yet. I will probably make my own kydex sheaths to facilitate neck carry with ball chain.

No doubt well made, but still a steep price for a tiny knife.

Like all Essee products, lifetime warranty, though you will never need it, & the magnet built into the shea, means you do not have to have a separate magnet in your EDC kit.

Very cool little knife. It's solid, simple, compact, made in America, and pretty unique, but also pretty useful.
