This video provides a comprehensive review of the Esee RC-4 knife, formerly known as the Rat Cutlery RC-4. The reviewer highlights its strengths, including a durable tan epoxy finish, comfortable and grippy micarta handles, an effective blade shape with outstanding full flat grinding, and an excellent Kydex sheath with MOLLE attachments. The jimping on the spine is also noted as a positive feature. Potential downsides discussed are its higher price point compared to competitors like the Benchmade CSK II, Cold Steel SRK, Spyderco Fred Perrin, SOG Government Agent, and Ontario RAT-3. The reviewer also points out the unnecessary weight for some intended uses due to the blade thickness and mentions the velcro on some sheath models as a drawback. The video suggests the sheath's retention strap could be improved with a snap. Despite these minor criticisms, the reviewer rates the RC-4 highly for its strength, aesthetics, and overall performance, deeming it suitable for tactical applications, EDC, and general utility.
