Junglas – 10.38″ 1095 Black Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Tan Micarta Handle – JUNGLAS-E

The ESEE Junglas (pronounced “Hoonglas”) blends a hard-use fixed blade with the reach and efficiency of a machete. This version pairs a 10.38″ black 1095 blade with tan Micarta handle scales and a black Kydex sheath with a MOLLE back.

1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for large blades: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under heavy chopping. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. ESEE says designers Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin developed the Junglas for Colombia’s Jungla Special Operations Commandos, who needed a tough blade for clearing dense jungle vegetation. The 0.19″ thick, flat-ground blade gives you a machete’s reach for clearing brush with the strength of a heavy fixed blade, and the 6.12″ Micarta handle offers room for a full grip.

• Blade: 10.38″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, black finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.19″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 16.50″ overall.
• Handle: Tan Micarta scales. 6.12″ handle length.
• Sheath: Black Kydex sheath with a MOLLE back.
• Carry: 23.00 oz, mounts on a belt, pack, or MOLLE gear.

Ideal for: campers and landowners who clear brush and light vegetation; backcountry travelers who want one large blade for chopping and camp work; and outdoor users who want a classic black blade with MOLLE-compatible mounting.

Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.

ESEE Junglas: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE Junglas with a black blade, tan Micarta, and black Kydex MOLLE-back sheath (JUNGLAS-E).

What kind of blade and sheath does the Junglas have?

It is a fixed blade with a 10.38-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.19 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with a black finish, a flat grind, and a plain edge. It comes with a black Kydex sheath with a MOLLE back.

What is included with the Junglas?

The knife comes with its black Kydex sheath with a MOLLE back. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.

Is the Junglas a knife or a machete?

It is a bit of both. The 10.38-inch blade gives you a machete’s reach for clearing brush and vegetation, while the 0.19-inch blade stock and full Micarta handle give it the strength and control of a heavy fixed blade for chopping and camp work.

Where does the name come from, and how does this compare to the Venom Green Junglas?

Pronounced “Hoonglas,” the Junglas is named after Colombia’s Jungla Special Operations Commandos. This version pairs a black blade and tan Micarta with a Kydex MOLLE-back sheath. The Venom Green Junglas, JUNGLAS-VG-E, pairs a Venom Green blade with orange Micarta and a black nylon sheath.

Will the 1095 carbon steel blade rust?

It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs more care than stainless steels. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina if left wet. Wipe the blade dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it.

What warranty does the Junglas have, and where is it made?
