We all know that about 70% of all knife purchases nowdays, are social media knives.
Their mainly used for Instagram, Facebook groups, Reddit, Snapshat I recon.
Youre like Youtube isnt a social media.
Shut up.
And if youve been following me on Instagram you'll know that I've been working on a review
of the Esee Junglas II... sorry I mispronounced it, the JUNGLAS II BROTHER- for a few weeks
now.
I had a setback in my review and broke the knife while repeatedly pummeling through knotted
wood while camping.
Sounds smart.
I'm not going to dwell on that too much- other than say batoning happens and sometimes knives
break- but ESEE has a killer warranty and will swap out any of their knives at any time,
if they fail.
Are you the 8th owner?
They don't give a shit.
The 9th owner can suck it though.
ok just kidding.
They took care of me, and since I haven't learned my lesson- I'm back to repeatedly
pummel some more wood, and properly break in the Junglas II- the update to their classic
Junglas knife.
They made sequal smaller than the original, which might sound un-American, unless of course
you buy both.
So let's look at those dimensions, I'll put the Junglas figures in parenthesis, for your
pleasure- not mine because it takes longer.
Like the overall length and weight, with and without the sheath.
The blade length and the tree gutting edge- if I had it my way these videos would be 30
seconds.
The handle size and grip area, you're like who is forcing you to make them.
Spine thickness and handle thickness.
Helllppp....
Cool.
The Junglas II shortened up a bit, as to try and compete in the every day carry market-
I assume.
Next up the Junglas III which will be a folder, because they're trying to grab some of cold
steels... idiots... err customers.
You're like didn't you buy a cold steel.
The blade is made from 1095 carbon steel, with a textured power coat, to resist rust
and look tactical.
The powdercoat covers the tang and blade spine- and a similar thickness to other Esee Powdercoats.
The blade is a drop point shape, with a flat grind, so it works well as a slicer and for
food prep, provided your food had a beating heart 5 minutes prior.
The blade was super sharp right out of the box.
The handle is nice and big.
My hand is a little bit dwarfed by the size, and I could even crowd two hands on there
if I got especially mad at that log.
Believe me my hands arent small.
There's no jimping and the micarta scales are smooth, but fabricy feeling- because that's
what micarta is.
The micarta scales hide a full solid tang with no skeletonization.
Again solid tang, not a compliment outside of knives.
The back of the knife has some metal sticking out, called a pommel for people who like accurately
describing the parts of their knives- you know I dont give a shit.
You can even fit a paracord sculpture in there, cause the hole.
The deep grip of the handle is nice and the quillons on the front and rear keep your hand
from slipping whilst a chopping.
The sheath.
the sheath is kydex and cordura, and molle compatible.
Or you can hang it off your belt like some sort of savage.
It's got snaps and plenty of loops and seems pretty durable, and flexible in how you mount
it.
Just make sure your trenchcoat is molle compatible, like subscriber Remove Kebeb.
It also has a snapping loop that keeps it secure when you're hanging from the monkey
bars
Let's do a quick chopper size comparison.
Go ahead say it get to the choppa I saw on knifecenter they sort of compared the ESEE-6
size to this.
Well this is quite a bit bigger.
I would call the ESEE 6 a large bushcraft knife whatever that means, and this is a chopper.
Which is in my head in order of size from the smallest, a big bushcraft knife, a chopper,
and a machete.
I tend to think the ESEE 6 is a little too large for regular boring knife stuff, but
not as good for chopping.
Then let's look at my $25 Bud K Kukri... which is a cheap chopper made in india that was
dull out of the box, but is easy to sharpen and chop with.
It's a little bigger and slightly heavier.
And shinier
Ok let's beat it up.
Now again, I did break my first Junglas II, so I am prepared to try and break this one.
Spoiler alert I won't.
Esee's customer service was great... they even slid into a DM with me via Instagram...
made sure I sent it back to them, and told me this isn't a common occurrence.
And they didn't even call me a dumbass YouTuber- at least to my face.
I have many many large trees in my yard and always have to break apart large limbs that
fall from trees.
Plus wearing this around the yard a lot will keep the neighbors from wanting to talk to
me.
YEAH I THINK HES MAKING THOSE YOUTUBE VIDEOS AGAIN HONEY.
I THINK HES GONNA HURT HIMSELF ONE OF THESE DAYS.
It seems a much more useful blade than my Yoshimi
Machete, although that one really helps me look cool for m'lady.
Ok so the chopping goes well I guess.
I know it sounds weird but I didnt have my camera rolling while I broke my last Junglas
II which is weird, because theres usually a camera rolling most of the time I'm using
a knife or flashlight- like Tom Brown intended.
Speaking of.
By the way, whats your Instagram face look like.
Does it look like youre pooping too?
I experienced no blisters or discomfort from the handle, and no real hot spots neither.
The Junglas II is a bit less fatiguing than my other choppers, I guess mainly because
it's lighter.
So I'm sure some of you here might be getting Esee fatigue, after my recent ESEE rection
and I do have the PR4 review coming up soon... a week or two away at worst.
Or never at best.
Which looks like it's the perfect size I've been wanting to use portrait mode and the
gingham filter on.
Ok... so the blade didn't break... and it was still pretty sharp after the video shoot-
which is all you can ask for these daysAnd this morning I learned that Going Gear owner
Marshall Hoots died at the age of 37.
Thats my age.
I have worked with him on videos for a few years now, and he was always a nice person
to talk to even though are correspondence was just email.
Anyway, in the description theres a link to a Go Fund Me account for his kids college
funds.
If you can throw a few bucks his way that would be awesome.
Go check out Going Gear.com if you havent before.
RIP dude, youll be missed by a lot of us internet dudes, as well as everyone who knew you.
Thanks for watching.
