I have both of those knives, even the same scales. I don't do much bushcraft stuff anymore but I've used them both on a small ranch for the usual chores, feed bags, twine, leather, pvc, cardboard, etc. Honestly I ended up using the 3 much more than the 4 because it was easier to carry. They are both very good knives and still get use, just not daily anymore. I even gave my late wife a 4 to keep in her car for emergencies, still can't find where she put the bloody thing though. About 15 months ago I replaced the 3 with the Creely Mako in magnacut which I love for my edc.
My ESSE 4 S35VN is my emergency truck blade. ESSE said the 4 wasn’t designed to be a bushcraft knife but people use it for one. I actually prefer the F1 myself.
@@outdooranalyst8697 On the Esee 3 the knife connection ones are way better than the black 3d G10 that comes on the 3. I had the 4 like yours but sold it and did not change the scales on that one

I love the Esee 4 in S35vn. Esee's warranty is awesome don't be afraid to use the S35vn.
Very true, their warranty is 2nd to none!
Bonjour so which one is the best ?
Esee 3 is much better with the Knife connection micarta scales
Do you like the knife connection scales better than the 3d contoured ones or just better than the original scales?

I also put the Micarta extended scales on the Izula S35VN and was a much improvement
