Of the four i own (4, Izula II, Candiru and the 3) I've actually EDC'd my 3 since last Valentines day when I got it! I really wish I would have acquired it first.
My Junglas stays on the inside of my Jeep, right next to the driver's seat. It's came in handy a good number of times there. I voted Junglas.
I carry and use mine way more than I ever expected I'd use a knife that size. It's replaced carrying my hatchet and machete 90% of the time.
Man that's a tough call! The 6 can't be beat as a do all in the bush. Camping, hiking, survival training, canoeing, hunting, etc. I carry the 3 as my every day knife though, so it gets the most use and as such gets my vote.
Definitely the 6. I still dream of one with no choil made of SURVIVE!'s 3V with TKC scales and a Rednose sheath.
Pffft, money? What money? lol I'm a blue collar worker by trade, so my money is earned with a lot sweat equity.
I've sold, and traded lots of knives but I've never even considered getting rid of my Esee 4, it's my favorite woods knife ever.
4 is my favorite. Although it is slightly thick when using it for cooking. I think I have 4 4s counting the HM.
After going through 3 days of field survival at the Randall household, it was clearly evident the E6 is the most suitable "all-around" knife. Myself and one other guy brought a 6 and all the other knives were a mixed bag of steel and makers. There were many instances where someone from the group needed to use one of our 6's for a particular task, but never was this reciprocated. It is more than nimble to perform the finer tasks and also excels in activities a smaller knife is just not designed to do like shelter building.
I could have stopped buying knives with the 6 (and a sak farmer) and not miss much to be honest. Hands down favorite in the ESEE lineup followed by the Junglas and the 3
