    Ok, I'm looking for a good companion knife to go with my 6 in the woods. One that could possibly double as a EDC. I want it to be a Esee.

    Jg3, ESEE 3, Izula 1/2 are my thoughts.

    An izula or cr2.5 would probably work too

    Just buy one of each knife ESEE makes. That way they all have a companion.

    That's my plan eventually to go with my GB6HM, able to process any critters whether large or small. Oh and wood too.

    Izula with the extended tkc scales (and maybe a regular pair of scales) then you essentially have two knives...an izula 2 when you want more handle and an izula for when you want more concealment

    Will you ever need to stab with it? If yes, then izula 1/2 has a better finger guard. If not then you are back to having three on the table to choose.

    You're not making this any easier, lol. You never know, I may run into someone who needs stabbing....

    If that on the expected use list then id go Izula 1/2.

    Doesnt have to be stabbing a person. That stab cut can be used for many things.

    Thanks for this. Looking at it like this, the Izzy 2 is looking good!

    That would be my vote (aside from the cleaver...:D)

    Can't imagine not having an Izzy II in my life - it's one of my most handy and used small fixed blades. Pair it with a 6 and there ain't much you can't do.

    Its awesome that right now with Esee you have so many choices!
    You could go with the-
    Cr2.5
    Candiru
    Izula
    Izula 2
    Jg3
    3hm

    I would personal suggest taking a LONG hard look at the JG3, its SO good for an edc knife, and would make for an extremely capable companion blade
