MY ESEE JUNGLAS

I've owned and carried many different types and styles of survival blades, from a Buck #124 "Frontiersman", to an original Buck #184 "Buckmaster". I've used a Al Mar "Pathfinder" and 4 different Becker Blades, the "Companion", the "Brute",
the "Magnum Camp" and the Tac tool. I've tried 2 blades from Relentless knives and recently the Browning model #686 Extreme Duty. All of these were good tools, some better then others, but none of them filled my requirements. After acquiring an ESEE Junglas and taking it on a few adventures, as well as using it in the accompanying "yard work" photos, I can say that this is the most comfortable, hard working blade I've been fortunate enough to own. While it's a bit big as a survival knife, it more then makes up for it's size with it's sheer utility. While I don't generally carry it on my belt, I don't leave for the woods without it strapped to my pack. The only modifications I've made is wrapping the sheath with paracord. I do carry a sheath knife, a Randall model #25 Trapper at the moment, (Got it for Christmas!!) and a folding knife, a Microtech Lightfoot L.C.C.. This is my go-to Stuff and so far it all works for me.
