Which of the ESEE knives available are the most popular? Personally, I'm a fan of the ESEE-4 when I head out into the woods but maybe that's just me.
 
My choices for my small part of the world:
A) Junglas
B) H.E.S.T. fixed
C) Izula
D) ESEE-6
E) Lite Machette
Remember, just for my small part of the world, this covers everything. Thanks for asking.
Be safe.
 
izula because of the entry-level price. but a recent poll in this forum, the esee-4 takes the top position when we can only have one esee knife.
 
you are probably right about the esee 4, and the izula is also up there (as everyone else is saying also). Even with that said, there has been a lot of recent posts about the 5.
 
I just bought an ESEE 5 for my son, and myself for Christmas. They should be here next week. After lots of reading on this forum, I'm really looking forward to getting them.
 
I remember when Izulas crossed over the 10k production mark, and the other day someone posted a pic of one near the 15k serial number. That's a lot of snapple!

This post ^ prompts me to ask a question. In the firearms realm, most serial numbers will reflect a firearm's date of manufacture. Sometimes that affects the value of the firearm. Does the same hold true with knives that are serial numbered?

With limited run or first production maybe, for user knives like ESEEs, not in my opinion. Of course being in the first 100 or something might be worth it to a collector, but number 8000 isn't worth more than number 15000, at least not to me.

No wait, I mean it IS worth more. I think I have number 7k something. I will do you a favor and trade it STRAIGHT UP for a Junglas. :D

I heard there were some real nice folks over here....... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info..... :)
 
I only have an Izula and I love it. I also really like the 5, but I've only ever handled it.
 
I use/carry my izula the most.
I use my 6 the hardest.

If I could have only one esee it would be my 4.
 
My favorite is the ESEE 3. Took it to hikink in the Norway Wilderness, use it every time if i go out in the nature.
It is lightwight but can do a lot.
 
Izula. I think we are around serial # 16,000 or so on them.
