Good luck with your decision. What are you looking to do with the fixed blade? Some options (Field pup) are more utility and some are harder use (ESEE 4)... depends on what you want! I have a Spyderco Moran Orange up for sale too ;p
@spsilvgo I want a big ass fixed blade for chopping and battoning :D!!! I have slimmed down my options, and i'm leaning toward the Ontario GEN II SP43 (not in the video) and the Ka-Bar BK-7 or BK-9
@TheLazySpoiledKitty Ontario SP 52 is more comparable in size to the BK 9. Check out TuhonsBillMcgs "Ontario Blade Grinds" vid for chopping demo... The SP 47 looks nice too if you want smaller/lighter chopper
@spsilvgo alright i'll check it out :D, i'm really at 70% for the SP43 and 30% for the BK-7..... HELP Sue :D, i've been getting mixed opinions ;P. This is an important purchase for me i want to be sure i'm spending lots of money on a STURDY and good knife :).
@TheLazySpoiledKitty Hmm, the SP 43 is 8"... for the 8" category I like the SP 49.. more belly drop pt, less spear pt, hollow grind vs the full flat... I haven't chopped with either so I'm not sure if it would really be better at chopping. I just like the looks of the SP 49 better :) The SP 43 looks more like a kill knife
You already have an Izula so an ESEE 3 / RC-3 is not very different - unless you want to collect every ESEE for some reason. So I would say go with the KaBar or the the Becker. Traditional Kabar cant go wrong but the Becker is probably a better shape for wood chopping and bataaning if that will be your main use. I'm waiting for the Cold Steel Leatherneck SF which looks like a great combination of the traditional KaBar with a full-flat-grind and quality steel
If you want a knife, that will outlive you. One that makes 95% of new knives look like your little sister would carry, and just the most bad ass knife IMO...
go with the 1211 Ka-Bar man. You wont regret it. There is a reason it was given to troops for so long. It is my #1 choice.
This is hard, what is the use for the knife? If you get the 7inch Ka-Bar, get it with the Glass Filled Nylon sheath (e.g. 5011). I've no experience with the BK5 but I do love my BK2 so I'm sure it would be a good blade, and better for wilderness use. I have the Ontario RAT 3, great little blade. I also have the Field Pup, great blade, and amazing value. Hmm... my advice is get an Ontario SP43, 8 inch FFG blade in 5160 steel, and relatively light to carry. Happy shopping :)
I'd get the ESEE over the Ontarios, just on principle. I suggest a HEST fixed blade or an ESEE 4 over the ESEE 3/ RAT 3. Why? the 4 has a thicker blade, and the HEST has a more comfortable handle. Take your pick.
Big Knife? ESEE Junglas would get my number 1 vote. In terms of things you suggested get yourself that ESEE 3, its one hell of a blade! The handles on the OD/Orange model are G10 though, not micarta.
Ka Bar has come out with a new mini series of knives called ZK for zombie killers though I do not think they would kill zombies all that well they look awesome and they are pretty inexpensive. -Vincent
You've been wanting the ESEE 3 for quite some time man.... GET IT!
If not check out Kershawguys (Zero Tolerance Factory Blem Sale ) on bladeforums and get the ZT 0200ST for $85... I'm sure one of your buds in the states can help you with a shipping address ;)
You didn't mention whether or not you had a specific purpose for the knife chosen. You have showed one classic and a bunch of good solid knives. Many classic knives are no longer available, but the American classic Kabar is still produced. You owe it to yourself to add a Kabar to your collection. my 2 cents
oompa loomp doompa dee doo I think an Esee 4 is for you! lol.... I am a big fan of the esee knives... I am getting an Esee 4 for my bday so I'm sooo excited for that! The 3 and 4 are pretty similar... 4 is a smidge bigger and thicker but both are excellent all around knives! I love that orange handle on the 3 you showed! Saweeet!
If you're looking for a good camp knife, i'd go with an ESEE-4. Not much more expensive than the 3, but that little bit of extra length lets you baton larger stuff. excellent quality and edge out of the box. OR The new Cold Steel Leatherneck SF. Flat ground bowie with kabar styled handle, looks awesome.
id sat rat 3, its is almost the same as the esee but i like the colors better, or the maxpedition bag, i want to get a maxpedition but i also want knives, super hard decision, i feel what u r feeling right now
trudno cokolwiek doradzic !! bo kazdy bedzie sie kierowal wlasnymi upodobaniami !! ja tam w koncu w przyszlym tygodniu zamawiam mojego wymarzonego ka-bara !!
If anyone votes against the ESEE-3 then they are baddies. Go to bladeforums and present the same question to the crowd there. I promis the ESEE-3 will probably win. You know the quality, you have an Izula. So my vote goes for the ESEE-3. Again, post your quandry on bladeforums and you will get great opinions and possibly a good deal on whatever knife you choose.
You have a really nice lady friend, right? She's a pretty good cook, yes? What kind of knife would she like? It probably sparkles and is gem encrusted. Hint! Hint! I kind of like the rat 3 myself.
lool, I'm voting for the Maxpedition thing, although I guess I'll lose :D:D:D or anything from Maxpedition.. love their stuff *being as selfish as possible*
To co wybierzesz, to zależy od ciebie, ale jeśli jesteś pomiędzy Ratem albo ESEE, to ja bym brał ESEE. Chociaż niespecjalnie można porównać BK5 do RAT'a-3... Ja bym brał KA-Bara Large Heavy Bowie :P A maxpedition to w ogóle sobie odpuść... Nie rozumiem tego jarania się tymi małymi plecaczkami. Z resztą, najważniejsze, żebyś nie wziął czegokolwiek markowanego Gryllsem.
ka-bar 1211 fighting knife without a doubt. i think it's pretty much the same knie as my ka-bar usmc. however, i think you would really like that fatboy versipack. i think you said you guys in Poland don't have restictions on blade length, so if i had that i would be carrying a big ass fixed blade everyday.
Go for the ESEE-3 with the orange handle scales (btw, there's a newer version with orange G10 instead of Micarta!). I own the knife myself and I love it. I will eventually do a review on it, most likely it will be a comparison between the ESEE-3 and the Enzo Trapper (another great knife!).
the maxped bag would be cool, id like to see what youd load up in that thing for edc:p but check out the kabar zk series, and i personally like the ka bar next gen knife with kydex sheath

I would tanke the ESEE 3 from your choise.
It has a great Garantee and a very good quality!
However, I would buy the ESEE4, this knife is some bigger, but small enough to carry it. (It´s also legal in Germany, without carry-restrictions)
I got that knife, it is just great!
So my vote: ESEE 3 or 4!
