ESEE knives - worth the cost?

[Squeaky 135]

Hey Guys:

I like ESEE knives, but they sure are expensive. Specifically, I like the ESEE 5 because of its thick blade. Also, it's sort of neat its handle has a bow drill hole.

However, ESEE knives are $100+. Wow. One can find knives with equally thick carbon steel blades for less.

Just wondering if their blades are (for whatever reason) higher quality or are you paying for the name.

Thanks.

I know nothing about these knives, but I do know that I'd rather buy a couple of less expensive knives and get by. If I lose one or break one I will still have one. I see knives as tools and as long as it cuts and doesn't break too easily, it is a good tool.
