Esee 4/5
From some of you guys who hunt/fish. Which esee knife would be a better buy the 4 or the 5? I need opinions on this as I am looking to pick one up for my dad for his birthday. I pm'd bigc on pricing and availability so just looking to make my mind up and get some suggestions.

Re: Esee 4/5
I would say probably the 4. The 5 is a lot thicker and heavier. Unless he's gonna chop down trees with it....then get the 5...lol
either one will kick ass though.

Re: Esee 4/5
To be quite honest, he would get the most use out of an Esee 3... that's just my .02. However, out of the two you have listed, I would go with the 4.Ian wrote:From some of you guys who hunt/fish.

Hey, sometimes you just have to cut through the skin of an aircraft.... or sometimes you just want to. You never know what the day may hold.

Re: Esee 4/5
I almost think the 5 should have not even fallen in the number line. Should have had its own name like the Izula and Junglas

Re: Esee 4/5
I'll be going with the 4 then! Probably going to pick up two of them. I will be needing to add one for myself as soon as they come back in stock.

Re: Esee 4/5
IMHO Ian you would probably be better to go with a 3 mil, there is not a whole lot of difference in the 3 and 4 and for the use you describe the 3 would seem to be a better fit....
