I like the arrowhead snuggy
@ Slack, if it can cut boat loads of grape trees, that are dried tough husky and pita, as well huge ropes that are meant for ships, but somehow ended up 220 miles away in a huge grape farm area.....cut automotive hose tubing, cut a crx car doors sheet steel like paper, still made spears to throw, chopped down vines and etc to make lashings....as well little tree bits to make a farm shelter
dig holes looking for buried treasure some youth buried long time ago and cant remember exactly where it was (think 50+ holes) and hit numerous rocks, and than cut cardboard, was used as a pry bar, and then the user had the bright idea to continue screwing around doing various other things he shouldnt have with the knife...thinking it was NOW dull? ... lol. I think it'll hold up for you. Its A HELL OF A LOT OF KNIFE for so little on the dollar, these guys really make a knife thats to be used, and abused. Its literally at a great price so if you still manage to break it honestly in use? They'll replace no questions asked AND later you can still buy another and the bank wont be broken.
I was going to buy a new sig pistol and some tools so i can finish a jig for making bike frames, but eh, I decided hey, family members should have esee knives. I can get other stuff later. My guys at GM who always give me massive discounts on crate v8's and etc? I already gave them esee 3's and izulas. I LOVE esee's stuff so much, I give little else thought to anything massively more expensive.
I like knives and shiney stuff like the next guy, but when it comes to something that just damn works? Their stuff gets the job done. I posted in another thread comparing a nissan 240sx to a corvette for knife comparison, the esee brand sure as hell is NOT a bank buster, and not a all out glorified shined up collectors item that gets flame war superiority like other items out there....but its a high quality no frills lets go do this kinda knife. I compare my esee knives with my 240s. sure they are japanese, but with proper suspension, fire wall relocation, cage work, massive brakes, and a LS1 swap if going used route, with only $15k invested in some cheaper builds they can rape on almost anything. And still remain well below the corvettes new price tag, especially since I only like the thorough bred models like the z06, gs, and zr1.......
But for someone like me who just loves to drive, and beat on stuff? I don't post anything on public forums, i dont like media circulating on them, I dont go to car shows, i dont build to compete for pieces of plastic or cast metal trophies...the car just gets down and done quickly, cheaply, effectively, and in ANY pinch? I know is just as dependable and hardcore as the more higher priced vehicle....
Same for Esee = brand x. Whatever brand x may be, price tag doesn't always necessitate the best product for you, for most people? They will NEVER use or fully realize a product. Like some cars I use to build or bikes for clients with pockets of money, just cause the price was excessive, doesn't mean their lambos or ferraris are everything they need except a name brand status symbol...same with kids with their rice rockets, having all the best products from catalogs.....doesnt mean you need those ungodly huge ap or stoptech or brembo brakes....or that better than fac offering, LS7 Rockhellar race motor....or jasper k. supercharger or 109mm turbo... lol.
Same with our knives, they get the job done, and look good doing it, their price is perfect for the end use, and the quality is more than what they are charging.
So my answer after an elongated post? Get the Junglas, if you need it. A want more I am sure, but Im sure you will need it
eventually ;P
again its like surefire to brand x lights...its all relevant to use and need, coupled with quality and price. I love surefire, but I am looking at other lights like fenix or eagle tac.
Good luck with your choice, and remember, more expensive doesnt mean better, though it can. However doesnt mean better for you. You may not ever even or need that. Something cheaper may fit the bill, you'll find though esee is a good sweet deal of a price, their product quality surpasses even further what they charge, I am serious. I came to the realization, and just said to myself, I'm ganna stock up on knives ;P never know when I wanna give a nice gift, or may break something. I've gone out of my way to break and destroy my first esee offerings I purchased. That was after $ was no longer that tight because school is over and other bills are now paid.
Find what works, and invest in it. Always function vs form, and quality over quantity and bragging rights value. I can't stretch enough how many vipers and corvettes I myself have built for other people that my 01 s15 silvia has destroyed and humiliated.... my own works
lol.
Anyways GL! I go finish installing my motor in bike frame like the good geek I am
