BRK by ESEE products, which includes the ESEE Avispa, Zancudo, and Churp, was masterminded and designed by none other than Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin. These folders, which diverge from ESEE’s standard in fixed-blade knives, represent some of the greatest value in EDC knives on the market today.

They follow ESEE’s quality commitment to basic patterns that don’t flinch in the face of hard work and are paired with extremely high-quality materials. The folding knives in this line are made with AUS-8, D2, and SK5 steels and are made with FRN scales (the Churp features Micarta and carbon fiber scales as well). They are beautifully contoured and feature lanyard holes, pocket clips, and thumb studs for easy carry and deployment.

The quality of their materials and construction is without equal. These alloys are renowned as hardworking tool steels that present an extraordinary value in terms of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance for the price. They are expressly made with handle scale materials that are resistant to the elements as well as to brute force.

Unabashedly durable, these knives also feature pleasant ergonomics and are swelled generously to fit a wide variety of grips and angles. Comfortable to handle and hold, these are no-nonsense hardworking knives that will work as hard as you do and beg for more. BRK designed by ESEE is perhaps the single greatest value available today in a pocket knife. If you need a plain-jane but rough-stuff EDC folder that will take whatever you can dish out, humbly, you’ve found it.
