Is The ESEE Junglas The Best Large Knife For Survival? - Sharp Saturday

The ESEE Junglas is one of my top picks for the best large knife for survival, bushcraft, or general use. A survival knife needs to be tough, so let's put this one to the test and see if it lives up to its reputation as a knife you can depend on to get the job done when it really counts.

@wrathofatlantis2316 3 жыл бұрын

A nice sheath and easy to sharpen, but nothing really special in terms of design: Far cheaper knives could match or best it. The Ontario SP-53 comes to mind, and the Schf 45 by Schrade, which both also have decent sheaths. The Schf 45 gets my nod for the stainless and hollow grind, and the SP-53 for the large rubber handle, world-beating blade flare and full 1/4" stock. The Ontario does lack a bit of slicing finesse from lack of hollow grind. Hollow grinds don't weaken choppers and they do "stick" less, so the idea of hollow grind weakness for chopping is bunk: I very much seek them out because the hollow grind "softens" the shock to the hand, which 3/16" stock, flat grind and full tang don't on the Esee Junglas... I did not like the BK-9 for similar reasons.

@pennsyltuckyreb9800 3 жыл бұрын

The Ontario RTAK II is indeed its predecessor. However, I can tell you the Junglas is heavier, slightly thicker spine (until you get to the very tip), high Saber grind instead of the RTAK's full flat grind, and with a MUCH better handle. I have both and while the RTAK II has always been good to me (I have the older, 1095 version before Ontario's heat treat went to crap and they switched over to 5160), the ESEE Junglas is levels above the RTAK. It just is. The high saber grind and thicker, heavier blade make it the overall better chopper and splitter. A quarter inch spine would be even better but, honestly, the Junglas is already a heavy beast. I've had mine for years and beat the heck out of it. Batoned ridiculous amounts of firewood with it including real knarly knotty hardwoods (which you shouldn't really be doing with it). Removed the coating. Only ever had a few chips in the edge but they were easily sharpened out in the field. All that said, I'm personally an axe guy. My entire system and pack is centered around my axe and saw. Just a Northern woods thing I guess. I get paranoid without my axe!

Better in soft material than a flat. Doe's really well in hard, on par with a scandi. Splits stuff better too.

So what’s the thought on the Junglas versus the Junglas 2? I think the 2 is an inch shorter? I think Gideon’s Tactical compared them and, IIRC, said they were really close but he liked the original Junglas. I’m thinking go big or stay home. But I wonder if the balance is better on a smaller blade. Still expect it to be tip-heavy, which is fine with me.

Just file a small section of the spine so it has a sharp 90 degree angle

$360 is the MSRP for the knife and sheath on the ESEE website. I bet nobody buys them direct from ESEE

I have been pricing the junglas on eBay and Rtak and noticed the Rtak in 5160, would there be any benefit to 5160 over 1095?

Not in my opinion.

Nice knife but for near $400 Aussie dollars I can buy a small Sthil chainsaw with extra chain for $250 and can drive around with a chainsaw in the car boot but would have explaining to do if cops found a knife in the car. Some stupid rules down under

We also have some stupid laws here in California.

It is amazing the amount of control that can be exerted over an unarmed populace, isn't it?

@@SurvivalOnPurpose The sad thing is our government makes laws on everyone based on the acts of 1 or 2 criminal people who usually are well know to police , but our legal system keeps letting these people back in to our community. Martin Bryant the Port Arthur shooter, was a suspect in the death of two other people well before he did the shooting. In Australia the system allows a lot of mentally ill to live in the community with know checks to see if they are taking their medications and staying off alcohol drugs that may trigger these mental episodes.
