Justifying the Price of ESEE Knives
The pricing of ESEE Knives has been called by some people “ambitious,” and that’s a very generous, even euphemistic way, to put it. Frankly, ESEE knives are very expensive for non-custom knives, and considering the fact that they’re predominantly made with budget steels (although not always) this is a real head-scratcher. Yet they remain extremely popular among...
