These fire starters should command a place in every outdoorsman’s pocket, or at least in the bug-out bag. Here’s why. First things first, don’t call it a flint. Many people do, but that’s a misnomer. Rather, ferrocerium is a mischmetal that is made of pyrophoric compounds that, when shaved thin and exposed to air, spontaneously oxidize (ignite), releasing heat.

While this is technically true, each has a surprising number of use cases, and in this case, we’re going to be vindicating the ESEE 6, which offers up the perfect middle ground in terms of performance, specifically between the ESEE 3 (one of the catalog’s more popular models) and the Junglas, another popular model that is somewhat specialized to fill the role of a machete.

The knife is hefty in the hand but not cumbersome, with a blade that is nearly long enough to do some light chopping. For making camp furniture, carving, food prep, cleaning harvests, and even processing firewood, it excels as few knives do. It’s in that middle ground where it’s smaller than what most people would consider a camp knife, but almost big enough to handle camp knife jobs.

The ESEE 4 in S35VN steel is even better.

Sharpening stones are a little more generalized than Lansky pull-through knife sharpeners, and as a result, they are much more versatile. For instance, a sharpening stone can be used to sharpen chisels and scissors in addition to knives, among other edged tools. The tradeoff is that it is slightly harder to learn how to use a sharpening stone effectively. Notably, you must make sure that you are sharpening the edge at an appropriate angle, or else you can ruin it by contact with the stone.

Common Hunting Knife Patterns

The term “hunting knife” is a bit nonspecific, since you could in theory carry any knife while in the field and call it a hunting knife. After all, there was a time when hunters carried “hunting daggers” for dispatching wounded game (and for protection) but that is almost unheard of in the present day.
