ESEE Knives Junglas with Black Blade, Kydex Sheath, Canvas Micarta Handles (JUNGLAS-E)

ESEE Knives created the Junglas (pronounced HOONGLAS) after spending time with the Colombian Compañía Jungla Antinarcóticos and wanting to design a single blade that that could serve as both bushcraft knife and machete.

The Junglas' 16.5" length lets you swing it with authority and power. The 1095 carbon steel blade and high saber grind will withstand heavy chopping and batoning through the hardest of woods. The 90-degree spine will scrape ferro rods. The micarta handles are removable and replaceable if you should ever damage one or if you want to change to a different style.

The Junglas' sheath is made from kydex that is riveted after forming. The hollow rivets allow the attachment of the Cordura nylon MOLLE and belt loops, as well as additional accessories. The kydex sheath is "lockable" by pushing a slider that will prevent the kydex from expanding and releasing the micarta handle.

All ESEE knives are made with absolute attention to detail using the finest raw materials and care during the manufacturing process, and ESEE stands behind its knives with a 100% unconditional lifetime guarantee. If your ESEE knife should ever break (even because of typical knife-no-nos like throwing or prying), ESEE will repair or replace it. This warranty follows the knife throughout its life, anywhere in the world. No sales receipt or warranty registration required.

The Junglas is available in different colors. This is the Junglas in black, but the Dark Earth Junglas is also available. While the blade colors can change, remember that the kydex sheath will always be black.

If you like the Junglas design but want something a little smaller, check out the ESEE Junglas II, which is essentially the same knife as the Junglas with but a blade that is 2" shorter and 2 oz. lighter.

Keep all of your cutlery nice and sharp. Not only will your blades be more effective when they are sharp, they will actually be safer to use because they will cut with less pressure than a dull blade and behave much more predictably.

There is no single or "best" way to sharpen cutlery, because we all have our different preferences and skill levels. Different sharpening methods will also suit different blade shapes and sizes, and you probably would not use the same sharpening tool on a pocketknife and sword. To make the matter even less universal, some prefer to sharpen at home while others sharpen in the field, so the "best" sharpening tools will necessarily differ. Excellent ways to sharpen include:

• Edge Pro Sharpening System
• Hults Bruk Grinding Stone
• Opinel Manual Knife Sharpener
• Opinel Small Natural Sharpening Whetstone from Lombardia
