I have held and handled both, not own, but the Esee feels better in my hand and the sheath is better. I have both Ontario and Esee blades and have been happy with all of mine. The fit and finish on my ontarios tend to be less quality than my Esee's but the problems are always minor. Both knives would be good blades, but i recommend the Esee based on my experience with Esee and the ergos on the junglas.
