ESEE Junglas Survival Fixed Blade Knife vs Sanrenmu 710

With the paracord lanyard stoutly fixed to my Junglas, I had no trouble retaining possession of this valuable tool that fits so perfectly in my day pack. The nearly razor-sharp edge on the Junglas held up to any abuse I inflicted on it including but not limited to paring large boulders. This is my tool of choice for rough going along with my favorite shoulder weapon, the CZ 550 American Safari Magnum express rifle chambered in Gibbs .505

My only recommendation is to loc-tite the retaining screws as they tend to fall out after a few years. That being said, the frame still holds together even with all of the lockplate screws having fallen out, which is totally wild. Blade lockup is still fantastic and the steel quality is such that it retains an admirable edge with some effort. For the money, this is one of the best knives I've owned and put it up against the Kershaw Chill for value

At first i was skeptical of using 1095 steel, but i now see the advantage over stainless. This blade will get a razor sharp edge effortlessly, and most importantly, WILL HOLD THE EDGE. People, just learn how to take care of it. This is a REALLY big knife and quite heavy, so if its gonna be used for backpacking/hiking, i recommend something more lightweight, like the Esee 6, or the Junglas 2, but if you have a strong back, this thing will do anything really good, batoning, feathering, etc

It's just a tad bit on the heavy side in comparison to my Spyderco Native but the clip tension is just right. I had a CRKT Drifter once and although I liked the size, the clip was horrible. It was too tight and kept messing up both jeans and slack pocket. I thought I'd first carry this everyday since I wouldn't want to lose my Spydercos and Benchmades that cost up to $50 and above
