Depends. There were/are 3 versions. First runs were 1095 and solid. Then they had a few years of a bad run of 1095 where they were chipping out and breaking all over the place. This was about the time the RAT guys left Ontario and created their own RAT company which then became ESEE. They put out the much improved ESEE Junglas. Typical Ontario, instead of fixing their heat treat problems they just switched the RTAK II over to 5160 steel. I have an early 1095 RTAK II. You can supposedly tell the difference between which 1095 you have by placing the knife flat on a table. The older, better 1095 will be more blade heavy and the handle will lift off the table. The bad 1095's will not lift the handle off the table. I have no idea how the newer 5160's are. An ESEE Junglas will lift the handle up. The Junglas is also ever so slightly thicker than the RTAK II though with a slightly finer tip. The Junglas is definitely heavier. I have yet to destroy either but I much prefer and trust the Junglas over the RTAK II. But both great knives if you know you have a good RTAK.
The tip broke easier than you expected on the Esse Junglas (even though it had a good heat treatment as you noticed) because the 1095 steel, has very little lateral flexibility. That means, it can't flex sideways a lot, as the 1055 does on the Cold steel machetes!

People just don't understand the difference in steels, geometry, hardness which are for intended set purpose. The masses in these comments look at 2 knives tested and comes to a conclusion. You can't compare a knife with a 15dps edge to the same knife with a 20dps edge. There's a huge difference in durability.
"I aggressively abused this thing, and did not stop till I could get it to break. *Whooaah!* This thing is crap!" "The reverse grip is much more comfortable for stabbing" ....no shit. Why would you ever try to hold it with the blade facing you while stabbing down into something?
Ok Joe, that first tip test was kinda silly, of course its going to break easy, its a thin tip thats very handy for fine detail work and field dressing, along with its deep woods and camp capabilities. Get another and see if you can pop the tip off with a baton; side loaded crooked hits on the tip, whatever, just dont stab and bend..

every steel will break at a certain force, and if if it bends, then its too soft for a outdoor knife and the knife will disappear after short time because of constant sharpening.. and i dont talk about machetes that are made for impact resistance. btw a bend blade means a destroyed grain structure and is also useless like if its broken.

Most people pick light weight knives , smaller knives, for 99 percent of the tasks. Not a BK2 which is lousy in handling the knife. It feels like a brick.
And for bigger tasks a machete will always outchop these 5-10 inch knives. Same for the hatchets. Way more powerful than a Junglas.
It's a typical northern American and partly European thing. The kick for a large blade. It's with combat in mind is my take on it.
Because a machete will always outchop these blades and they are not any heavier either. Reason South America uses machete's not big knives for chopping. Same in Africa.
I can tell you that even Jeff Randall finds the ESEE-5 his least favorite of the ESEE knives.
And I can only agree.
For carving it's s h i t e.
It's only good at when you want to do demo things.
And when do people do that. Most never.
Than you have this brick knife that is a b itch in simple knife tasks.
Soft cheap steel

@@josemanuelpedrajofernandez4556 i am sick if using google translater, write english!
That would be crazy and a shame if you destroyed the 4th junglas2 in production
yes, that would be awful!!
@@joex maybe you can fix it, jk
@@viciousKev so many knives to fix....
You can tape them back together with "Supermantape".
😁😂
What a expensive piece of crap.
i kind of agree!
Expensive? Crap yes, for sure! I doubt any Esee is over $200.
He has to realize junglas is 1095 and cold steel go is 1055, lot of difference there
i realized it, believe me, me no stupid!
Sorry, meant no insult. Great videos
@@danachadwick4919 no problem! I love you all my friends!!!
USA made knives are crap , end of the line .
