I just got the 5 and wow what a blade. I can understand why so many are addicted.
Well I want more, ESEE blade that is, now I can't decide to go with the 3" or the IZULA II. The application will be for pocket carry and or BOB / glove box blade. What do you say? |

Quoted:
I vote for the 3. If it was strictly an everyday carry i would probably say Izula, but since it could also be a BOB or glove box knife i feel the 3 would be better suited for those duties. exactly. I have a 3 for these same purposes and I definitely wouldn't want anything small than the ESEE 3. The Izula is tempting, but I don't know that i have a good use for it at the moment. EDIT - the ESEE 3 is NOT going to work well for pocket carry. But the supplied belt clip for the sheath makes it really nice for carrying. I have it on when I'm out doing yard work, etc. and its hardly noticeable. |

Theres also a ton of carry options for the ESEE 3.
I use this kydex sheath with a mini tek-lok. It can be worn vertically or horizontally on the belt. The whole package weighs just over 6 ounces so its very easy to carry. I've actually carried it a few times without the tek-lok in my back pocket and it wasnt bad at all.

For a backup to your '5, the Izula would get my vote.
To carry for use, or add to a BoB, the '3 would be best. Be warned: the factory ESEE-3 sheath is a piece of shit. Budget $30 for a proper kydex sheath and Teklok. I like Eli's stuff from Godspeed Tactical. Here's one of his sheaths, with an ESEE pouch attached to my backpack: http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/RatDrall/012012214.jpg Here's the back of the sheath: http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/RatDrall/012012206.jpg |
