ESEE Junglas II Hard Use Knife Review. The Update to the classic chopper.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2017
- In 2017 Esse released a slightly smaller version of their big fixed blade called the Junglas II. This review puts the knife through a hard use field test, and discusses ergonomics. I compare is to the ESEE-6HM, and the Bud K kukri. I baton with it, and chop wood like any good UA-cam idiot might. Thanks for watching.

Running back through the old videos on the Reviews playlist and this one legitimately made me laugh out loud 3 different times. Good stuff... thanks for the vids!
Dude you're so fucking funny it's too much. I honked at the cold steel joke. Literally honked. I'm not supposed to make that noise
+Tovarish Works Talwar XL= grail.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro I'm a CS IDIOT...AND AN ESEE IDIOT TOO...NOW WHAT😂😂😂😂🐍🐍
don't you know you are not suposed to baton with knifes if you are a serious bushcrafter? batoning is for folders only....
+maram Ovidiu aww shit, I forgot!
Good review, and thumbs up for displaying metric measurements.
You truly are the RCR of knives. Will watch another; when I need a new knife.
Oh we believe you... Your hands are not small. They are YUGE.
Biggest hands ever.
+Jack FarmBoy Trust me, a lot of people have said my hands are big.
Hey man, very refreshing videos, informative with added spice! Only the second video i watch from you and you already got a new sub.
+Christos Papakostas glad you liked it! Got a bunch more coming soon!
Man! Just 2 minutes in and I can't contain my laughter! Love your UA-cam review flavor! Keep it up AKB!👍🏻👍🏻
+Mark Tudor thanks man!
nice test of the esee junglas ll !... i was even more amazed, at 6.42, at how you balanced that log standing on its pointed end, on that wobbly stump, so fast!... i prob couldnt do that if my life depended on it!. lol!,.. good job!,
I drop a lot of shit... I cut a few out for sake of time. Some gog just need to be batoned on the ground I guess!
Great video brother I absolutely love your reviews
+ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj Rayner glad you liked it, thanks man!
Great review and the comment about Marshall and his kids. He will be missed.
It's sad man. I often wonder what happened- but I guess all that matters is that he's not around any more. That's pretty sad. Thanks man!
Had an offer to trade for a Junglass 2, came here to see if it would be worth it, got reminded about the loss of a great man in the industry. RIP Marshall
This new Junglas II looks nice, I like the smaller size from the original.
+sameold77 the old one was pretty big.
I normally hate knife review videos.. But you rock. You are the only one im subbed to in this category.
My dude! Yeah it broke... you come across bad heat treats or bad pieces of steel sometimes... don’t know till it happens. The good thing is Esees warranty absolutely trounces everyone else. It’s like a Leatherman warranty with no conditions.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro you are in a small class of people that have legit broken one... I think the rest of them get cut in half with torches just to murder the knife and test the warranty.good thing is the warranty is NO JOKE.
Just got this knife yesterday, along with the 18" Ontario machete. I had to laugh when you said the Junglas 2 is smaller than the original. The 2 is ridiculously large!! Lol
I’ve got the OG Junglas and I rather like it for what it is. I think I may pick one of these up some time.
Sorry to hear about Marshall. That must be a devastating loss for his family.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors yeah man... hope they can carry on.
Oh man I can't believe what I just heard about Marshal passing away, what a big loss, rest in peace Marshal .
+supernova1976 really sucks... been a bit of a downer today.
0:51 The child is escaping!
This is a good looking Choppa.
I still wonder, why the 6" & 7" blade length gets so neglected?
Help me. Why did we get two spine thicknesses?
I recently took a new Schrade knife I bought (SCHF37M), to my local machine shop, and had it surface ground. Down to 0.187" thick. I really love this thing now.
Yes, it will be the shins.
#choppa
+Steve Kluver I actually was reviewing the footage and didn’t know I had recorded that. That was last month... and it was too funny for me not to use!
So sad of what happened to Marshall Hoots, he will be missed..
Great review!! Did I miss the moment you broke the tip? Those Esee knives sure can take a beating.. I'm still deciding if I should get the Junglas or the Junglas II.. Any thoughts?
Junglas if you need the 2 inches. This is basically good for batoning mostly. I didn't break the blade on camera, but I did show the part with the big chunk out of the middle of the blade.
Thanks for the informal infomercial AKBro.!
I can't tell apart a butter knife from a machete but these videos are mesmerizing to watch.
+Emily it’s ok, I can’t either! Thanks!
Wow, ever knew anyone who actually broke an esee before, err well done?
+Shelley Raskin may as well be the first!
I wasn't into it UNTIL you pointed out the skulls. I will deduct two points for not having flames painted on the side though. 😕
+thechugdude flames would help the blade chop faster!
They do make a folding Junglas, it's the ontario rat models #1 and #2 or the brk avispa and zancudo.
+Mt. Baldwin ooohhh
I suggest the next Junglas is dubbed the 'ESEE Junglas NCPK-BW' or 'Neighbor Conversation Prevention Knife-Backyard Warrior'
I hit the club last night and got some solid tang.
Ladies and Gentleman, the first full-tang sex joke ever made on youtube.
Not bad for a monday ;)
TheKimjoh560 but I was in VIVA...VIVAAAA...LAS VEGAAAAASSSS
I'm really suprised your mark1 jungles failed as bad as it did man. I'm not sure if there's an "esee fail" vid here on the tubes. Woulda been a good one to catch on camera! Glad they're warranty is no questions asked.
+Josh Johnson it was also a II... but yeah. It’s a rare occurrence. I debated pulling out the camera- but I was trying to start a fire and the kid loves touching the camera lens, so I decided to go without it. I was never able to find the piece of blade though. Weird.
Advanced Knife Bro maybe they had a few runs with "meh" heat treats. Yeah man, I think all small children suffer from a case of the reachy grabbys. I know my son did....does....probably will until he's 12. Lol
Im about to buy a knife that I dont need, but looks cool. Have a mora bushcraft survival which is probably enough knife for me, bit I do want a big esee now too.
What would you buy if you were me, wanting to have a blade that is big, looks cool and makes your wandering companions drewl ?
Esee 5, esee6 or Junglass 2 ?
Junglas II or BK-9... the Esee 6 would be a kinda similar in size to the mora bushcraft.
I wonder why it broke? I've seen another UA-camr abuse that thing, but from what I can tell, you def used it!
are you gonna do a review on the BK 29 that comes with the BK5 and the Snody snake charmer
+Dark Soldier not at this time... maybe down the road
make a video on the tracker knife
"hoon-glas too".
Really strange that you had a knife that broke. Was the skull rune improperly cast? Did they not use the right tempering incantations?
+Justin V I think the log was enchanted with weapon damage
@@AdvancedKnifeBro The real magic is the I don't give a AKB what you did to your knife warranty😂😂😂 It ain't pretty and it ain't pocket jewelry...but Facebook you if you can't take a joke.
ESEERECTION!!😂 the George Carlin if knifebros strikes again...I gotta git me an ESEERECTOR SET...
Sooooo... what happened with the livestream last night? We were all there, waiting with baited breath, and nada! Technical difficulties?
I'm pretty sure that was a pocket stream. I put it in my pocket without locking the screen, and you know- streams happen. Or they get set-up. Total accident. No streams... carry on.
i dont appreciate you ripping on cold steel. When i ran into a lake with my care i stabbed my recon 1 into the bumper and used it as a hand hold to pull the car out by myself and then i pulled out a piece of paper from my get home safe bag and yep it was still razor sharp.
+mdmorton16 Fucking survival right here.
Do whut now?
I used my mtech to single handedly destroy the economy in Venezuela
Best knife review yet
Glad you liked it man!
Lovely piece of steel. A tiny bit overkill for the back yard maybe.
+Lars Buskkraft maybe.
Junglas 2 brother!! Thanks for the review
+49Giants it was my absolute worst hulk hogan impersonation
Advanced Knife Bro nah it was awesome
I would think that you could beat the snot out of the Junglas. You must’ve had some seriously knotty wood. I do the same shit with my knives as you do. It’s fun.
I managed to lodge my 12” Bowie into my shin 2 weeks ago. It was decent, needed 5 stitches. Could’ve been worse.
Love your reviews, even if I am 5 years late to the party.🥳
Im really trying to figure out how you managed to fuck up that first one. 1095 is a great steel but ESEE does 1095 perfect. Must of been a bad batch of steel is what im trying to guess.
Must have been... first time it's ever happened to me. Esee siad they've seen it a few times when people repeatedly pummeled through knots on hard wood.
That's so unfortunate obit Going Gear.
+macmurfy2jka yep.
Enjoyed it very entertaining.
Doesn't seem the right shape for batoning or hacking away. Seems almost like a slimmer Ka-Bar. The Condor Golok seems like a good in between the Indian knife and this one. But axes or saws make much more sense.
+QuickQuips the Kukri is still my favorite chopper. I’ll keep whacking at the Junglas too.
Rest in peace bro thumbs up on another bid bro top work 👌👌✌️
Bid?? Vid bro phones and fat thumbs lol
+porkbap55 tanks dud!
Lmao hilarious, watched a few videos already. Subscribed!
Thanks dude!
Gotta love companies that stand by thier products. Leatherman is another fine example.
Personally I dont see the point in knife designs like this. Its too big and heavy for carving work, which should make it a good chopper, but good choppers should be front heavy and benefit from angled grips. Preferably without an exposed tang. Perhaps it would be good for fighting but wouldnt you want it more pointy for that?
+TheKimjoh560 there is no small delicate work that can be done with a knife this size. It’s a bit whacking blade, and that’s about it.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro It can definitely be used as a combat knife.
RIP
Just subscribed to channel
Need this break of seriousness and zombie like reviews that flood utube
I really try not to do that! Thanks for checking the channel out!
Love how you baton tovarish's crk with kindling but smack this hog with timber you can barely lift. High comedy, man. Well done. p.s. slightly worried you haven't mentioned beer in like two videos.... you okay?
+Eric Boss I was hoping someone would notice! Soon it’s gonna get hard to top my antics!
Advanced Knife Bro Two words... Car hood.
I wonder how good that thing would be for hunting these worthless hogs around here? Is it easy to handl? The old ESEE 6 is pretty quick in the hand for a wilderness knife I think.
It has a nice comfortable handle yeah... It might not be stabby enough though.
Advanced Knife Bro Push harder? Lol
Advanced Knife Bro I was just thinking it would be a good backwoods knife and a hog knife. Kind of a combo deal I guess. Great vid though!
I have seen before that, a real beast. But, in some countries, you can have problems with that monster. People scaried and so, police etc.
Regards!.
Should we trust a knife size like that, that breaks in chopping a wood?
1095 steel is not the best choice for large blades. The heat treat has to be on point .
Many Ontario's 1095 steel machete's broke. 1075 as Condor uses is a better choice, 1070 for Tramontina/Imacasa, and 1055 as in the Cold Steel machete's.
The Junglas 'wants' to be a knife and a chopper/machete.
It can be done. Rowen's heat treat is good. but flukes might happen..
❤ I'm gonna buy an ESEE JUNGLES 2.
It looks like a good knife to defend against Sasquatch Attacks!
+bRad 1967 if it’s a large fictional creature, this would come in handy!
@advanced knife bro another youtuber is using parts of you videos, claiming that the videos are of these cheap eBay light and saying they are his. Thought I'd let you know cause you are the #1 UA-camr!
Can you give me a name or link?
Advanced Knife Bro here is a link to the video where he uses clips from you claiming it to be the flashlight he is talking about. ua-cam.com/video/epv57VBlPv4/v-deo.html ( Fast forward to around 1:46)
+robert bob thanks! He only uses it briefly... so it may be fair use. It’s a pretty jerky thing to do- because it’s basically a lie. He is selling one flashlight and using footage of a much much brighter one. I don’t know if it’s a battle I want to fight. If he used a lot of my footage unedited I might file a claim.
Advanced Knife Bro ofc man! Ohh yeah that is true. That's very wrong of him. Keep up the great work!!! I love the videos!!!! Best of luck in all you do!
Great video and FUNNY too!!!
Whats wrong with cold steel?
Nothing
The Shins.. New Slang, great song!
+matt frejiszyn probably my favorite from them!
Keep up the good work brah, you're the bomb!.. Or the very best, depending..
How do you break 1095 carbon steel on wood? XD
Must have been a bad heat treatment
+Tony Atzen yeah... musta been. Never ever happened to me before.
My rule to your video is thumb up first then watch...even if I don't like it...I will be to lazy to unlike it...
....Edited after the video.....
So sorry to hear that Marshall has past away. I was checking going gear this morning without know this.
Hopefully the two children will be looking after good.
+Rebuswind I hope so too. Pretty sad to hear.
Now I NEED to see a 30 second knife review lol, also, you shouldn't give knives to the people who are forcing you to make these videos
+Shaked Tollman good call! Working on a 30 second knife review soon!
Sipping on an ABC extra stout 8% from Myanmar. The Junglas is large but is great from processing wood in the jungle, and and be stabbed into the ground and used like a climbing axe in steep thicc veg terrain.
Eseerection, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, coming soon to adult theaters near you.
+marshalllaw123 has a nice ring to it!
Someone got blade number 666.
I MUST have it!! I vill pay twenty THOUSAND Kronkites for it
You seem like a very normal person
+Eduardo Gomez I appear that way, don’t I.
A new standard in batoning was set today. Which begs to question: how is it possible i left a half hour early today and I'm arriving home thirty minutes later than if I'd left at my usual time? Sorry. Sorry. I'm getting a little stir crazy here. It's been almost two hours and I haven't flipped a knife like thirty times.
+Fitz Mouse did you stop to buy a soda. Sometimes that does it
Advanced Knife Bro As it turns out, a Pepsi truck got stuck trying to do a u-turn on a two-lane road. The bus i was on looped back until it got cleared up.
+Fitz Mouse “Was a Pepsi driver all Coked up? Find out at 11!”
Advanced Knife Bro Funnily enough, I think it was PCP (Pepsi Co Products).
Its a very good blade
"The shins... it's gonna be the shins"
The first 20 seconds of this video speaks to me, about me. lol
+Jake Disty hey basically me too!
You don't see old photos of loggers or homesteaders doing wood work with a big ass knife. The reason? It's not practical. I'd buy me a boys ax for the back yard and a Ontario machete to go with it. I have Esee knives myself and love them, I also see the allure of beating on shit with a big ass knife, but only for a few mins. I know it's the "trend" and I'm not ragging on the video I'm just saying.
I know. I have read a ton of the old camping books. The rule of thumb was always 3 inch folding knife and a small camp axe. However- that would exclude many many other knives too. Modern knives are often overbuilt for no reason... too heavy for no reason... too pretty for no reason... have odd blades for no reason. I bought the only knife I needed a long time ago. I don't hunt large elk or build shelters. I camp, hike, and eat things.
Giant Esee 6?
Looks like you found it!
Advanced Knife Bro Indeed!
Id like to see a play-off between that Esse and a Cold Steel TrailMaster. Just sayin. Talk is cheap.
An Esse 6 is on my to-get list as an edc.
You have knife number 0483 there, I own number 0484 😀
Ganzo will copy this fixed blade soon and call it the "Jungle Ass". And it will weigh 6 pounds, be made of 440C, but will oddly be deemed handy to have around.
Solid Tang. Not my favorite Tang
But I've never seen a Tang I didn't like.
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get just the right size and shape knife for doing some simple camp hacking and chopping but having the right point to stab a bear as it tries to eat you. Sure that's a last resort well behind backing away, yelling like an idiot, or using the bear spray that I think probably works the best, but, you never know, and it sure makes me feel a little better.
You make me nervous at 6:12..swinging straight to the shins...
+Ty my neighbor?
I've daily carried my junglas for a bit
0:51 did anyone else see the kid run off into the woods
I definitely did!
ill call it the "junglelas " if I want to as ITS my knife:)

+Noah Waite cool! Whose buying!
So first I was like: "Damn this dude is 37? He only looks a couple of years older than me an and he even has a kid my kids age" 10 minutes later it hit me. You are only a couple of years older than me. Somehow I managed to age without noticing.
+TheKimjoh560 yeah... lately I’m like oh yeah the mid 2000s that was only a few years ago. Sheesh... we’re going on the 3rd decade of this century soon. I didn’t believe it when I was younger, but time fucking flies.
Right there with you. 33 and shit is FLYIN' BY.
You pronounced quillon (key on) properly. Most say (kwill-on).
+cyclist01222 yeah I looked it up.
good call
0:00.
I can't afford buying a good knife just to show it off on facebook or what not. I buy them for work and also a little bit for collecting.
Anyway nice video. Keep it up man.
+Tony Atzen i use all mine too... although sometimes mostly in reviews.
0:55 RUN AWAY!!! HE HAS A KNIFE!!!
Damnit I was hoping to not buy this knife but now I have too, because of you. Thanks for pissing off my wife!!! Lol great review btw...
Knives are best displayed on Grinder. So I’m told.

Oh well!
It BROKE? Da fuq?
Great video. Lots of gratuitous BATONING!!!
+Seth Brakke I tried to make up for the videos lately where there was none!

Now 38
Advanced Knife Bro I'll be 38 June 1. You sound more educated than most knife reviewers I've seen. College education? I'm a philosopher of meta ethics, I know genius when I see it. Good work.
I'm just a dude who makes videos. I'm rocking an AA and that's it.
Advanced Knife Bro ah well I could tell ye had some college your under belt. Anyway. Keep up the great work.
Does purchasing this chopper make you an honorary Insane Clown Posse Juggalo? I will also do a request....a Cold Steel Bushman.
+SailfishSoundSystem I’ll look into it. The review should have had more Faygo now that you mention it.
I've never seen this mystical beverage.
SailfishSoundSystem it's a Midwest thing. Faygo is still sold EVERYWHERE around here (illinois)....and it's pretty bad as far as soda goes
So like Chicago mayors essentially?
SailfishSoundSystem I'll go ahead and roll with that. But I tend to avoid Chicago more so than the plague.
Really sucks to hear about Marshall
+lowwkey91 yeah it does... jeeze
Awesome but too Expensive...😆😆
Tell me about it!

True dat.
Also made with slave labor.
