Nice comparison.  I like both sheath materials.  Leather is always nice since I live in a hot dry environment plus I treat all my leather.  I also like the Izual sheath as well.  I did a slight mod to mine to I could wear I horizontal on my belt which is nice option. 

I really like the blade shape on that JG3.  I'm more a fan of narrow blades vs wide.  I also don't mind the coating on the Esee.  Its nice however the JG3 is without.  Such different knives its no wonder you picked it up.  I do hope it works out for you.

Yesterday’s mail call found this on the front porch 

I have been eying this model since I learn about Nesmuk via Nix’s Challenge.

SMKW put two of their exclusives on sale at price I could not resist :whistle:

That is a nifty looking Nesmuk knife.  I hope it works as well as it looks.  I saw it on SMKW's sale listings a couple of days ago and would snap one up if I had any money.  As it is, I happen to be carrying my JG3 today.  I love this knife. :cheers:

Since our October Fix blade event, I do carry either of my Izula or Izula II, as one sheath is. I figured for neck carry. Works well under my vest. 

Have been waiting for the Ashley Game knife in S35VN to be restocked by ESEE, but always admired the JG5 because of the blade shape that would compliment either Izula for day hikes or camping lite overnights.

It actually is a thinner blade than appears and it’s weight is very manageable.  I would not use for chopping or baton if, yet it can dispatch up to 3/4” to 1 “ branches for a summer cooking fire to boil water or cook up a packaged one pot meal.

I will test it out on a patio fire this winter, the handle is very comfortable for my xxl hands!

PS:  The sheath is top notch!   I am planning to treat the insides with mineral oil over the holidays to condition the thick leather open grain.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I am able to resist only due to lack of funds. But I hope to purchase a Candiru or an Izula once I've sold off a few things...

When ready check out Knife Connections for ESEE.  I found them a few months ago and surprised at selection and pricing. They also have custom handles.

Thats a very nice Esee. Those handles look great and I appreciate them doing a leather sheath for this one.  Go hard on it as Esee has quite the warranty from all I read.

Esee Club?
Count me in.

Esee4 new with kydex that was with it back then, bought years ago but somehow never used it. Might as well sell it...
Esee3, a user
Esee Izula I with scales, tested paracord which got messy too quick and the shorter scales that leave the hole open, but only these large scales work for me.

Somewhere there is also an Ontario Rat3 but I cant find it right now. Has a shorter handle thats why I prefer the Esee3 over it.

A nice looking family of ESEEs Shuya.


I too had issue with Izula handle length until I found some G10 handles from Knife Connection. Provided same handle length and a bit more thickness than my II.

I had a look at The Knife Connection. They have some nice handles on offer. I'd like to try my hand at making my own handles, too.

Some great knives in this thread, y'awl! :tu:

Here is my ESEE Avispa. I bought this in 2018 at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, an awesome store up in Tennessee.





I was starting a new job at the time and was pretty broke or I would have bought at least an Izula. Still looking at them pretty hard. This thread makes my Amazon Prime nervous.  ::) ::)

It is nice Spartan, a practical camp cook knife.

A tad heavy for a survival bush crafting knife.
