esee 3 vs 4

[1066vik]

with stock scales, the 3 is not comfortable to me at all (big hands) - with the TKC aftermarket scales, the 3 might be a perfect small knife.
As they come from the factory, the 4 is my preferred blade of those 2.

I ADORE the 4. However, the 3 serves for EDC in my pocket (when I can't carry the 4).

For skinning small game, I would get a 3. It will do the rest of your chores as well. The 4 is probably the best all around, but might be a bit unwieldy for skinning a small critter.

I have both IZULA's, the 3 and 4.

I would recomend getting a pair - IZULA for small detailed work, ESEE-4 for everything else.

If you are only going to get one knife, the ESEE-4 is still my choice. It's the best all around knife.
