Tactical Laser Strike Knife - Black Blade with Micarta Handles & Kydex Sheath | Survival, Camping, EDC, Hunting, Outdoor Activities

My favorite ESEE and one of my favorite knives.This is a beast of a knife. I have large hands and have found the Laser Strike to be an extremely ergonomic knife and s joy to use. The blade is 1095 steel that takes an edge well and holds up to abuse with ESEE's great heat treat. The micarta scales are grippy and are well crafted as they fit the knife perfectly and are contoured to prevent hot spots during use. The handle is much more comfortable than that on the ESEE 3 & 4 (too short) or the ESEE 5 (which is too wide). There is a forward finger choil to offer more grip options for precision/delicate work.Hidden below the scales is a stout, skeletonized, full tang that hides a ferro rod for fire starting and a washer is on the lanyard paracord to use in unscrewing the flathead screws which secure the scales to the knife.The kydex sheath for this knife is incredible. Much better than the molded plastic on some of ESEE's other models. It holds the knife secure and rattle/noise free and has an adjustable tensioning screw to allow one to adjust the retention to their liking. A plastic plate with a spring steel belt clip comes with it. I attached mine to a dangler belt loop and love it.Another plus is the ESEE warranty, truly one of the besg in the business.This is a great outdoors knife that is not too big or small, is comfortable to use and tough as heck.
