I just bought the ESEE 4 with the intended purposes that you've stated. It is a very nice knife. I don't think I'd want any larger. Knivesshipfree for $99.12 to the door in three days.

While looking for my Blackie Collins, I ran onto a very nice Gerber. It appears to be a Prodigy model, but is in a Remington nylon sheath. I swap knives into sheaths that I like more better. As I dig around, I will probably find a Remington in a nasty Gerber sheath. Good luck.

Thanks for the input guys.... never explored the medium heavy duty knife world before... would be easy to spend a bunch of money esp on the Bark River Bravo 1 with up grade scales and an extra cross draw sheath...
The ESEE 5 has a lot going for it IMO... really wish it didn't have the skull on the blade though... seems like a prosecuting attorney would just love to see that if the knife was ever used in defense.
I have a small Dozier that came with a cross draw Kydex sheath... I find this to be a very handy carry system for a knife with a 3" blade... not so sure about how it would workout with a 4" or 5" blade though... thoughts?
The idea of a shoulder rig with a medium heavy knife on one side and flashlight and spare clip of ammunition on the other might have some merit... who makes such a rig? Pretty sure I would want Kydex there too...
Lowest base price I have found on the ESEE 5 was $148.95 and the Bravo 1 was $187.95 IIRC. If someone is aware of better pricing I would appreciate a PM about it.
Thanks again.
has good prices on bark rivers. Just keep checking as their inventory rotates and don't expect much feed back from them. They have not failed after 3 barks I bought from them.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?
