| Ok I was looking at the ESEE 5 and the Ontario Rat 5 they look pretty much the same and started out as the same product before the split. Is the ESEE made that much better to be double the price of the RAT 5 or is it a name brand thing. |
| I have and ESEE3 and several Ontario RAT and DPX series knives. They are all great, but as already stated the ESEE does have advantages. Whether or not those advancements are worth the extra money is up to you. The ESEE is a tank of a knife but my DPx HEST is one of my favorite overall knives ever. |

The nod goes to the Rowan rats and Esse's but the Ontario's aren't bad knives and they have there act together as well as far as heat treat goes.
I have both but I have to say the ESEE knives are starting to push the price points a bit for a off the shelf 1095 knife. Can't argue about the guarantee though you have to love a no questions asked lifetime guarantee |
