The ESEE Junglas is a 16.5-inch fixed-blade chopper designed by Jeff Randall for camp and survival work. Its 10.4-inch 1095 high-carbon steel blade has a full flat grind and powder coat, and the canvas Micarta handle ends in a hammer pommel. It is heavy at 23 ounces, so it chops and clears brush far better than a small belt knife but carries more like a machete. Owners rate it highly for edge holding and toughness, and the main complaints are its weight and the rust-prone carbon steel.
