READ THIS IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR AN ESEE KNIFE.

My son and I made our weekly journey to fish the Etowah. As always I had my ESEE 3 clipped to the console of kayak. For the first time ever I flipped my boat. I had not clicked my Knife into the sheath and it fell out when I was taking my swim. Fortunately, the 3 has blaze orange scales. I didn't want that color when I bought it, but it was considerably cheaper so I went with the orange. Anyway, the water was about 5 ft deep and I could see a faint orange glow on the bottom. I dove down and recovered my Knife! I have a 6 and an Izulla and am thinking about ordering orange scales for them.

Esee for the color win.

I put the orange on my Candiru also. Much easier to find in the leaves.

Were you kayak fishing?

Yeah. We go on an epic trip on the weekend (10 hrs today) and we try to take a couple short trips during the week. The Spots were ON today!

I mainly used it as a box cutter at work because i would carry my LCP in my pocket and needed a knife on my waist instead of in my pocket. As a box opener and basic knife it was excellent. As a daily use knife it is worthless. The Izula is my go to knife when i am not at work. I honestly want 10 more of these Izulas.

In a few weeks when things calm down for me I want to go! Have kayak, will travel!

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. The candiru seemed a bit hokey to me. I could use the Izula daily I believe. I have (3) Esee 3's and a Junglas. That Junglas is a beast!

I tried to carry the 4 a few times and other than hunting or fishing it's just too much for my taste but the Izula is just right. I had to use my Izula to eat some red beans and rice the other day for lunch. The Candiru actually sliced my hand open the first time i put it in the sheath because there wasn't enough to grip when i was trying to pull it back out.
