>>2446937I have smaller Esees and that’s a more expensive Benchmeme Grip with some special steel and limited edition colors. I think the regular Grip is like $50-$75 less, and the Mini Grip even less, which would be close to the price of the mid to large Esee knives.
The Izula was like $50-$60 with no scales IIRC, and the babby Candiru was more like $75 with scales, but I didn’t actually buy any of them, all gifts from family. Esee 3-5-7 are all popular depending how large you want to go. The Izula with that horizontal mount is perfect for an EDC on the belt where you don’t even notice it, and it feels like using a small-medium folder with like a 2.75”-3” blade. The Candiru is real small but great for working around normies all day. The Esee 3 is probably closer to a full size folder like 3.5”-4” blade but I don’t own one.
Can’t go wrong with the Izula. They’re affordable, especially if you do paracord on the handle, super popular, easy to get scales and sheaths and stuff, but make sure to buy from a reputable retailer if you don’t want a fake.
