So now that ESEE 4 comes in S35VN, and price is almost a wash between the two, what would be the best choice for a “do it all” day-hike and camp knife vs the Fallkniven F1? Presumably the VGWOLF version based on price and availability.
Also throwing in the new Ursus Cub as a wild card… I’ll sometimes (but not always) be carrying an ESEE 6 in my backpack (more for fun and less for true need), so maybe I can get away with the shorter blade? That said, I’m a big guy so was thinking to stay in 4” range, and also guessing handle might be a little small. To that point, I’m guessing I’d need to buy TKC extended scales for the ESEE, bumping the price a bit.
Thanks!
Update: Ended up going with an ESEE 3!
