Built from 1095 high carbon steel with a textured powder coat finish, the Junglas-II ships as model JUNGLAS-II-E: the black knife with a MOLLE-compatible Kydex sheath. Overall length is 14.5 inches with an 8.38-inch blade and a 7.75-inch cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Working Tool With a Documented Field History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Junglas was developed for Colombian counter-narcotics special operations units operating in dense jungle terrain, where a tool needed to function as both a knife and a light machete. The Junglas-II carries that same design intent in a shorter, more manageable package. This is not a pattern designed for a catalog. It was shaped by operators who needed it to work under hard conditions. The Junglas-II now sees use with counter-narcotics operators, adventurers, and woodsmen across multiple continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e1095 High Carbon Steel and a Powder Coat Built for Hard Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Junglas-II blade is 1095 high carbon steel hardened to 55–57 Rc. At that hardness range, 1095 holds a working edge through heavy chopping and batoning while remaining straightforward to resharpen in the field with basic tools, a practical trade-off for a knife expected to do machete-scale work. The textured powder coat finish protects the blade from corrosion and reduces glare without adding meaningful weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is 2.0 inches wide and .188 inches at maximum thickness, giving it the spine mass to handle prying and batoning tasks that would stress a thinner blade. The hammer pommel adds a striking surface and includes a lanyard hole for retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemovable Micarta Handles and MOLLE-Ready Carry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicarta handle scales are removable, which matters for cleaning, maintenance, and long-term serviceability. A handle that can come off can also be replaced if it takes damage. The included Kydex sheath uses a MOLLE-compatible back panel, so the Junglas-II can mount directly to a pack, plate carrier, or MOLLE-equipped gear without an adapter. The sheath is included with this model; no separate sheath purchase is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1095 High Carbon Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55–57 Rc hardness, field-resharpenable edge retention suited to heavy chopping tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTextured Powder Coat Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion and glare resistance across the full blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable Micarta Handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e cleanable and serviceable in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHammer Pommel with Lanyard Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a striking surface and retention option\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKydex Sheath with MOLLE Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e included; mounts directly to MOLLE-compatible packs and carriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnconditional Lifetime Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e no receipt or registration required, transferable with the knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e manufactured by ESEE Knives (Randall's Adventure and Training)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e14.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOverall Blade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8.38 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCutting Edge Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e7.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Blade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e.188 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (Knife Only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e19.8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1095 High Carbon Steel, 55–57 Rc\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTextured Powder Coat, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMicarta (removable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePommel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHammer pommel with lanyard hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKydex with MOLLE back panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eJUNGLAS-II-E\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe ESEE Junglas-II suits buyers who need a single fixed-blade tool capable of both detailed knife work and sustained chopping or batoning: overlanders, bushcrafters, and field operators working in dense vegetation or remote terrain where carrying both a knife and a machete is impractical. The MOLLE sheath makes it a direct fit for pack-based or plate-carrier carry without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis listing covers model JUNGLAS-II-E only: the black knife with Kydex MOLLE sheath. Other factory configurations, handle colors, or sheath options are not included in this listing. At 19.8 ounces for the knife alone, the Junglas-II is not suited to ultralight or minimalist carry setups where blade weight is a primary constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sheath comes with the Junglas-II-E?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESEE Junglas-II-E includes a Kydex sheath with a MOLLE-compatible back panel. No separate sheath purchase is needed, and the MOLLE back mounts directly to compatible packs, plate carriers, or gear panels without an adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the handles be removed or replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Junglas-II's Micarta handle scales are removable, which allows for thorough cleaning and makes handle replacement possible if the scales are damaged. Micarta is a layered composite that resists moisture and maintains grip when wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the ESEE lifetime warranty cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eESEE's unconditional lifetime warranty covers repair or replacement if the Junglas-II breaks, with no sales receipt or warranty registration required. The warranty transfers with the knife throughout its life, regardless of who owns it or where it is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does 1095 high carbon steel perform compared to stainless?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Junglas-II's 1095 high carbon steel at 55–57 Rc holds a working edge through heavy chopping and batoning and resharpens readily with basic field tools. Unlike most stainless alloys, 1095 can develop surface rust if left wet without care, so wiping the blade dry after use in wet conditions is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow heavy is the Junglas-II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ESEE Junglas-II weighs 19.8 ounces for the knife alone. Sheath weight is not listed in the specifications. Buyers prioritizing ultralight carry should factor this into their kit planning before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESEE Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50599126892614,"sku":"JUNGLAS-II-E","price":309.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/junglasii-1.png?v=1791595669","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/esee-junglas-ii-fixed-blade-knife-with-kydex-sheath","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
