Trending Gear: ESEE Knives Pinhoti Friction Folder EDC Blade

December 22, 2022 by Waysun Johnny Tsai Leave a Comment

Named for the trail that winds through hundreds of miles of the Appalachians, the Pinhoti friction folder is a testament to ESEE Knives’ commitment to creating tools you will use outdoors. The Pinhoti is a lightweight knife designed by ESEE staff member and avid outdoors person Shane Adams, who is from the northern part of Georgia near where the Pinhoti Trail runs through.

The lightly textured handle offers excellent ergonomics for bare or gloved hands and will stay in your grip even when wet. The Pinhoti comes with a leather taco-style belt pouch that can even fit your multitool or pistol magazines. ESEE says that if you are looking for a folding knife you can count on as much as your fixed blade, or if you are looking for a knife you can pass down through the generations, the Pinhoti is an heirloom in the making!

Features include a scandi ground 1095 carbon steel blade mated to a sculptured brown micarta body with a brass pivot. While closed, the 90-degree spine can be used to strike a ferro rod or scrape tinder. The Pinhoti pays homage to the venerable friction folders of the past with updated materials and an ergonomic design that is sure to become a working heirloom for generations to come. Made in the USA and backed by ESEE famous lifetime warranty.

ESEE plans to bring the Pinhoti to the market in batches. The first batch to be available will be a limited, numbered run of just three hundred pieces.

Features:

  • 1095 steel drop point blade with a tumbled black oxide finish
  • Friction folding mechanism for simple operation.
  • Sculpted brown micarta scales with light texturing for grip.
  • Oversized lanyard eyelet and versatile, secure leather belt sheath.
  • MSRP is $236.95

While I am not a huge fan of friction folders, I am a huge fan of ESSE knives and if I can find one of these at a decent price, I may just try one.
Speaking of decent prices, you can find one here on the cheap for like $160.
