The 4 was my first but now Esee 3 for me. I think I'll like the hm even more if I could get myself to pull the trigger.
I voted 4. While I only own two ESEE, a 4 and a Izula, most of my fixed blades fall in the 4inch blade range. To me the 4 inch blade is about perfect for most task. But I do like big blades also I might eventual get a 6 to try out. I've been saying that for a few years though.
I've been taking my Junglas in the woods since I recently got it. It's gone with me on several trips now, and that baby can do it all, especially since I put a choil on it. It makes feathersticks as well as my buddy's 4 and my other buddy's Izzy 2, I kid you not. That being said, it can be tiresome to use for small tasks and uncomfortable to use if you're completely physically exhausted, so I went with the 6.
The Izula got my vote. Ease of carry. And that means it is around more often to be used. And abuse ahmm, I mean, use it I do!
i would have to pick the 4hm if i could only pick one. it is the best all a rounder for me. i would take the 6 if i was going to the apocalypse
Really just a knife they slapped the name kephart on huh? Probobly a great knife but isnt following or even trying to stay true to his guidlines, or even the right shape. And I would love to see a modernized kephart, but that really isnt one is it?
I've never used one. Kind of a bold statement. Different knife designs are better at different tasks. Depending on what you do more.
The Izzy 2 is the only Esee I have left and will not sell, great knife. However the pro-Kephart made me sell so many knives because of the versatility and comfort.
