    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 favorite is probably the Laserstrike but since you weren't able to include it, I voted for the 3

    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.

    My hand would hover over the 3, grab the 4 and run.

    Tough call, I'd probably settle with the 3HM though.

    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.

    even with a regular 6 sheath and TKC scales I'd buy that thing in a heart beat.

    I like 3v in a fixed blade. I'll probably pick up FB Camp knife next to try out.

    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
