Just picked one up. Only thing I can compare it to is my Esee 4 stainless & it's just an initial comparison.
1) Ergos -> Jager. (Esee 4 handle isn't quite long enough or as comfortable. I want not to be forced to use a finger choil to get a full grip on a handle.)
2) Blade Material -> Jager (...not that 14c28n is < or > 440c, it's the $ vs. what you get.)
3) Warranty -> N/A (Esee doesn't warranty their stainless like their 1095 & I don't have any experience with either ones' warranty, so there's that.)
4) Quality -> draw (I don't count uneven bevels that are only +/-.005". I've had that with about 98% of all my knives. Easy fix or nah.)
5) Sheath -> draw? (ABS vs Esee injected mystery plastic. Maybe Esee plastic wins over ABS & maybe cuz of the $ it doesn't. What do I know? That Jager turning clip is pretty neat though.)
6) Price for what you get -> Jager. (For almost twice the price with the Esee, you do not get twice the knife. If you think made in the USA is worth almost twice the price, this section will go to Esee & this review is null & void.)
