So I want sort of a two knife scabbard thing for when I go out hiking, camping, exploring, whatever.

I have the izula, now I cant decide on its bigger brother to go with it.

4, 5, or 6? and why?

I like all three, but looking for a two knife combo, going to attach a kydex sheath for the izula to the larger knifes sheath so I can get to either one easily.
 
I would choose either the 4 or the 6 depending on your hand size or your length preference. Unless you need the half inch thick beast the 4 or the 6 should do fine.
 
The 4 might be a tad small for the 2 knife scabbard thing...really good knife though.

In your case I'd opt for the 5 or 6. I own both and like the 5 better, but that's me.
 
Because of the lighter weight of the 6, I would go with the 6! Plus I own one and the blade and sheath seem to be askin for more. 5s are a bit heavy IMO. But you can't go wrong with either. Their ESEEs:D enjoy edgy :thumbup:
 
I have the Izula and ESEE-4. I carry them both when I hike with the Izula as a neck knife. I've been thinking about getting a 6 but can't seem to justify the reason for having a knife bigger than the 4 for hiking.

If I did more camping I'd probably want the ESEE 5 or 6.
 
I've actually been thinking about this myself...

I have an Izula and ESEE-4, the 4 is a good mid-sized all around knife but as such I find it a little too close in blade length to the Izula to justify carrying both. With the 6 you'd have the capabilities of a larger knife but still have the Izula for all the finer work. The 5 seems a little too thick and heavy for it's size so I don't really see a role for it but if that's what you want or need then by all means go for it.

I say go for the 6 but I'm sure you'll be happy with any of them.
 
I would look at the 5 or the 6.

The 4 is an excellent knife. If I only want to carry one knife, it's the 4 almost every time.

For a two knife system, with the Izula being one of them, I think the 4 is too small.

I would recommend the 6. I absolutely love this knife. A piggybacking an Izula on the 6

would be an excellent system.

The 5 would also work, I just think it's overbuilt for common woods tasks. This is simply

my opinion however.
 
Love my 4 and usually take my Izzy along with it. But if your thinking of a piggyback kinda setup I would probably go with the 6. I think of the 4 more as a compromise between the two. I see a Junglas in my future and will try a piggyback rig with an Izula with that. Even though I still will opt for just the 4 most of the time on my short hikes with my son.
 
if you only want to carry 1 blade, the 4 or the 6 can do it all.
if you're going for a 2 blade setup, the izzy is too close in size to the 4 to gain much advantage.
izzy/6 or 3/6 is a good pairing for belt carry.
 
4 & Junglas is a good combo - especially with the new (longer) scales on the horizon.

Junglas can do everything. It just feels so good in your hand. The Izula will cover all the small stuff. But if the Junglas is to big I would get a 6
