So I purchased my first ESEE about 10 days ago - the Junglas, and because I was so impressed with the quality and how easily I was able to do detailed work with a large blade I had to have more, of course right? So I proceeded to order an Izula OD green (came in Monday), and an Izula II (came in Tuesday) and an ESEE-4 (came in today!). Gonna have to take a momentary break from buying knives! I'm sure I will end up getting a 3, 5, and 6 eventually, well see how long I last. I also finally sat down and wrapped my OD Green Izula which went pretty well. I had never wrapped a knife in paracord and I couldnt find any patterns that seemed easy enough to do or that I liked so I sorta just started messing around and this is what I came up with. I haven't decided how to end it yet, and am open to suggestions. I made it through the wrap without cutting myself due to some tape on the blade, I will have to be sure to retape it when I go to finish the last knot. Cheers.

The mini collection as of today.

The wrap on the Izula, not sure how to finish it.

P.S. If someone can post those pics for me I would appreciate it. I dunno how, I should probably take the time to learn.

I'm waiting on a 5 and 6 to arrive. I am undecided on buying a Junglas, though.

I got my RC-3MIL and RC-4 right around the formation of RAT Cutlery. I recently got the the Izula, Izula II, EsKabar and an ESEE-3MIL-S in the mail and am happy. I ordered some more Izulas for various reasons and people....they should arrive soon I hope.
 
wow what a great looking collection, and so fast! good choices too! i can't wait to see pictures of the rest when you get them. i like that wrap job as well.

i am undecided on the junglas also
 
Get the junglas, it is incredible. I've never had a large fixed blade and I have to say it surpassed all expectations. It's been in my hand since I received it 12 hours ago, the handles are truly perfect. Plus it smells like playdoh
 
I don't know if I'll get the Junglas either -- I'll have to wait and see how my (soon to be acquired) 5 and/or 6 does with the chopping. . . .

BTW, to finish that wrap, you could cut and melt the ends or just tie them off with one big overhand knot:
(my pinky grabs that big knot when I choke back on the knife -- it works well)
