ESEE James Gibson Pinch Neck Knife, Molded Sheath

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.

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.

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

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

Carry this thing everyday, worth every penny. At first I was skeptical that it was worth $50 but now I see it's worth it! Worth every penny. At first I was skeptical that it was worth $50 but now I see it's worth it!

If this were just a half inch bigger I would have kept it but it's just rediculously small for my xl hand size. I should have checked the actual size before ordering.

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.

This knife is small, however, the handle is designed in such a way that you can maintain a good grip on it with ease. It works well by simply dropping it into a pocket or hung around the neck with a cord. It is easy to forget that it is there until it is needed to perform small cutting tasks.
