This combo looks like it would be great. Love my jg3 but don't own a junglas I or II my condor boomslang is similar in size to the junglas I. Reckon a couple of inches shorter would be spot on. Hmm may have to start saving up for a II
Nope. Her dog wont be kept in a kennel so we keep him out when we leave. As penance he destroys something. No kidding. Usually we can get him to mess up amazon boxes etc. sometimes not.
I went to Cabela's today because reasons, and I finally got to put my paws on a jg3. A few thoughts: I didn't realize just how sharp the 90* spine was. Stonewashed finish looked and felt great in the hand, almost satin-y. The handle shape is great. I could feel the curvature, but not in a weird karambit sort of way. Purposeful. Palm/finger swell is a nice touch. Makes for a different sort of grip. Handle slabs were thin. Didn't seem to fit the feel of the palm/finger swell. It filled the hand one direction but not the other. I'll say it this way: it's on my short list, but I would either need a steep discount or a decent trade into one.
James is quite an amazing craftsman and everything I’ve ever seen him make, its made with purpose. I think it goes without saying that ESEE sees that. James makes purposeful things from his immense amount of experience. That’s just what the JG3 is. Here’s a mini nessmuk he made for me and a custom that I designed that he made. Even though it’s not an actual JG3, I think it brings some value to my previous statement.....and it’s the only pics I had on my phone. P.S. He also made the spoon... ESEE did a fantastic job of capturing the detail and personal touch that James adds to his knives.
I really want to like this knife, but the height near the choil is so skinny it makes me suspect I will hate it. Had a similar issue with TKC Izula II scales. They thinned down the scales at the choil (albeit thickness, not height) and it ruined the user experience for me.
