    Here’s my collection. Only knifes that are missing is my esee 3 …..that is in my wife’s car. That she sold. And my esee 4 that’s in the Harley in storage.
    Opinions on what I should get next???
    I really do love every one of these knifes for different reasons.

    Youve got your bases covered. It would be completing a collection or finding a specific task knife. Maybe a candiru or a jg3?

    allll my knives are users. I beat the living crap out of them. Not all of them do I carry like the 6 instead I carry the 6hm and the 4 I carry the 4hm instead. The rest thought I use and abuse!
    Jg5 I might see in my future. That’s one I have had my eye on. Do you like it?

    Well I could really use a set of kitchen knives………if you know anyone.
    Jg3 I’m liking the size and looks of it. The main knives I have been carrying are 4 and under lately.

    Great collection!
    An RB3 would be something in its own league, and you're missing the classic original Esee 3 which is a winner in my book :D

    I picked up an ESEE 3 yesterday at kniveshipfree. The first time I've held one in a while. What a great design. Even though I'm not a fan of the choil on smaller knives the 3 just always makes sense.

    So I had the 3 that’s the knife that got lost in my wife’s car. I really wasn’t a fan of it at all. That’s the reason it was in her car. For backup.
    The rb3 is a front runner.

    Laser Strike and Candiru. Two of the most underrated players in the game.

    Nice setup. I have always look at the laser strike. But was unsure if I wanted it. What’s big difference about it from say a 4

    I use my 4 so much I have begun to wish it was uncoated and stainless.

    The new folder and the S35 4 may be in my near future.

    Maybe down the road we will see a 4 HM in S35??

    IMO, the LS has a much more comfortable handle, it has more room for larger hands, and the choil works much better than the 4 does for me. The LS is heavier and a bit thicker stock, so I would think of it as a more “survival” type knife vs general purpose. Also, it is saber ground with a spear point, which I personally like better because of durability. I think it’s a great one knife option for its intended purpose. It’s my favorite of all the larger, 4 and up, ESEE knives. As for the Candiru, it’s hard to beat such a short useful knife. I carry one daily in my backpack as a backup. I actually prefer it to the Izula that I carry in my pocket everyday, but for whatever reason I still carry the Izula.

    I'm a big fan of the JG3.

    It does everything well and looks good doing it.

    If you want an ESEE to use in the kitchen, my JG5 makes it in there a lot. The nessmuk style really lends itself to meat and veg processing.

    Jg5 I can’t quite decide if I like it or not. I like the blade design I just with on my pr4 it was a little thicker grip and I’m guessing the grip on the jg5 is the same as the pr4?

    S35 ion a 4hm I’d buy in a heartbeat. My 6hm an 4hm are my most carried knives.
    My pr4 is my most carried at work knife. I like the stone wash.
