Also consider the Lionsteel M7
- little bit heavier
- made in Europe <3
- stronger tip (ESEE tips are scary thin for a survival blade)
- versatile (the back of the blade scraps, balance point slightly forward = light chopper, small/light enough to make smaller tasks)
The only dowside is that useless finger choil. It woudl have been better without it. Chocking up is a nonsense on lighterblades IMHO.
