Good deal man. I know you'll enjoy them! Thanks for commenting!

Yep, it's the place to be, to get good aftermarket scales, for a variety of different brands now it seems. Good stuff! Thanks for watching!

likota123 I completely agree. I did not use either of my ESEE's nearly as much as I do now. Night and Day difference.

So did mine with the extended scales. way more usable

Good idea! Sometimes I'll put orange reflective lanyards on my knives for that same effect. I think there are invisible sprays you can buy for reflective purposes as well. Thanks for watching/commenting!n

You cant go wrong with with any ESEE knife, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for checking out my video!

Yea great company. For everyone else in the comments, If your getting an ESEE, go through them for sure! It'll save you A LOT of money through their knife builder program! You dont get the knives to their full potential until they have a good pair of contour'd scales on them. Best I've found so far is from The Knife Connection.

Also not sure if anyone said anything but I think The Knife Connection is the only place you can buy just the blade if you buy their scales at the same time. Saving you some money not having to buy a knife then buy the customer scales too.

I dont know if TKC is the ONLY place you can buy just the bare blade but yea thats what I was refering to when I was talking about the 'Knife Builder' option on their site. Start with a bare blade and customize it from there, save's you ALOT of money and you not buying extra stuff after that!

Curt Shaylor they are made of g10 so they are every bit as tough as the micarta. will last forever and are wayyyy more comfortable. you wont regret getting them if you do!

Thanks for checking it out!

lol I guess I should have specified that the steel inbetween the scales will cost more. But ya, you cant go wrong with an esee. Best bang for your buck.

I cat overstate how great these scales are, and how much of a big difference they make! Great price, and no waiting. I'm actually selling my 5 so I can get the Junglas II w/ TKC scales!

Thank you for subscribing too!!

Thank you friend. A little piece of advice though, having had them both...I'd skip the 5..😬 For 99.99% of everything you're gonna do/need a knife for...it's gonna be major overkill, and will probably be the last knife you reach for after a while, if you have other options. You'll definitely notice the weight, and it's overly thick, for most knife stuff. Not saying it's bad, it's just a very..specific purpose driven knife, made purposely that thick..to pry your way out of a downed aircraft..and still use it as a knife afterwards. I sold mine, but kept the 6, which is *far more practical,* and I use a ton..even with many other options available. But, that's just me. Maybe you do need a knife that thick, I can't say. I just know that alot of guys, including myself lol, see the 5 and think we need it...till we get it..and realize...it might not be all that practical, for most of our knife needs haha. Anyways, I appreciate you checkin out my video and commenting. If it's really what you want, I hope you get one bro. It will never break on you, I can say that! 🤣

To be perfectly honest..the 6 *by far.* The 5 is a good knife, you want something nearly indestructible..there ya go..but what I soon discovered is that is was unnecessary for me..and probably the average person. The 6 is plenty tough enough at 3/16 thick, and when ounces = pounds..and pounds = pain..you really dont want unnecessary weight on your side or in your pack. A knife is meant to cut & slice. The 5 was meant for military personnel who were trying to pry there way out of helicopters and stuff of that matter, so instead of carrying a pry bar..they could have a pry bar with an edge...which can sacrifice more effective cutting capabilities. The 6, with TKC scales is what your gonna end up wanting, out of all those options, in my humble opinion. I'm gonna do an update video on my thoughts on the 5 in the near future. It's not a bad knife.. *in the least* ...I just find it unnecessary. The 6 ends up seeing most of the action out of all my knives, and the 5 has actually been swapped now, for a Junglas II, which will make its debut on the channel very soon!

@@survivalofthefittest409 Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I have the Husqvarna Forest Axe for chopping and splitting wood, and I have my Mora Bushcraft Black for the finer detailed tasks. I think i will go with the ESEE 6 because it seems to be way more nimble and better at doing general knife tasks.

@@joeyjones9041 Awesome, really glad I could help! It absolutely is though. That finger choil makes a big difference with control. The extended flat pommel is really useful too, and the full flat is good for slicing. Its really a great do-all utility/survival knife and it's what I keep in my bag as well. Put a 90 on the spine and you are set!

Wish I could afford any Busse haha. I'm sure yours are nice! Thanks for commenting!

Juat recieved my Esse 5 with G 10s yesterday and hust WOW ...! Holy Mother if God it is a TANK with an AWESOME handle. The only thing is that it is possibly too heavy for a bugout bag. We will see.

Me either. I think S!K gets their stock scales right. Very contoured and not blocky. Wish others would do the same.

Cant go wrong with one bud!

The sheath itself came with the knife, but the add ons, like the molleback and pouch I got from "the knife connection". They can also be found on Amazon and pretty much anywhere where ESEE's are sold.

@@survivalofthefittest409 thanks I found the TKC site

All solid choices. Im gonna be trying to get my hands on a Junglas II for review in the near future.

junglas II ?? i didn't know there was a second edition,, hmm ,, post a video when you get it

i still have the stock handle scales on mine,, they ain't the most comfortable but when using 1 for longer periods,, i wear mechanic style gloves

Yes they came out with the Junglas II sometime last year (I think). Its basically the exact same knife as the original, just 2 inches shorter in blade length. Review done. Haha just kidding. The scales on the Junglas look (from what i can tell) to be slightly more rounded, maybe contoured than the ESEE 5/6. Im not sure i'll replace them at all, ill just have to get one to see! My Dark Timber Honey Badger has got to be the most comfortable scales of that style ive ever held, thus far.

now i really want to see the new junglas :)

Hey, do me a favor. To the left on your keyboard, there is a button that says "CAPS LOCK". Go ahead and mash that button for me will ya?! Thanks

If you're asking if I have an Instragram, i do not, sorry. Just KZfaq and personal Facebook account.

oem?

The stock micarta scales installed on the knives by the factory. I love the way they patina.

Oh ok, yes those are plenty fine. Not horribly uncomfortable or anything like that, if I had to use them instead im sure i would get along just fine. As far as whether or not they "look cooler", well thats more of a subjective thing isn't is. I think the TKC g10 scales look better, and are more comfortable *to* *me* . Thats my *subjective* *opinion* , but its totally fine for you to disagree.

What costs $2000 ??

Yes $2000 no brasil

@marcusvinicius2022 are you saying that 1 ESEE Knife costs *$2,000* in Brasil ?!

Yes no brasil ESEE 4.$ 1999

@@survivalofthefittest409 Yes my friend. In Brazil it costs Esee 6 $2000. Esee 4.$1800. Our government is very corrupt, they steal from us in taxes Importing from the United States to Brazil. To give you an idea, a Camaro car in the USA 80,000. In Brazil 500,000$ $$

Ehh?
