Looking for opinions on fixed blade knives

[hurley842002]

Just placed my order for a desert tan Izula!

WOW! That was quick, big +1 for The Knife Connection, had it here in two days.

Pics to follow shortly, you've done it now Stag, this thing is SWEET, i'm already trying to figure out what my next ESEE purchase will be. Thinking of replacing my Seal Pup, with a Desert tan 4 series, to match the Izula.

I only had a short piece of Brown para cord, so I couldn't quite wrap the whole thing, i'll get some more tomorrow.

Apologies for the crappy photos:

That's the same one I have. Those 2 dealers I posted are crazy fast shipping.
Your hooked now

Definitely hooked! What is your prefered method of carry for this bad boy?

I picked up a couple of large blade tech belt clips. You can do either horizontal or vertical carry or carry in sheath in your pocket. You attach just one side to sheath. That's what is great about the ESEE sheaths is the options for attaching
to just about anything.

When i first read the thread title, it was VERY difficult not to answer:

"They are a good idea. You should get one"

Glad I could inspire a little sarcasm.

I already have a couple of fixed blade knives but they are older designs (including my Ka-Bar) and most of them have leather sheaths and leather or wood handles. I was just looking for something a little more "modern" Really leaning towards something like the ESEE 6 but would like to see one in person first.

Thanks again for all the replies!

That ESEE 6 is very nice looking as well, hopefully I can acquire all of them down the road. As of now, I think the Junglas and the 4 are in the near future.

I received my Esee 4 a couple days ago. This is a very nice looking knife. Looks like a knife you want to actually go out and use. I think this is going to be the knife that I will most often carry when I go to the mtns and can't wait to try it out.

We may have to start our own Colorado Rat Pack !!

How about something slightly different?
