Not only did you have both knives in frame for most of the video but you also were moving them around, showing different angles. Couldn't have asked for a better comparison video. Subscribed ✅
Hello there. I just purchased the Laser Strike and found it to be thicker than the Esee 4. The Esee 4 is 1/8 inch thick, and the Laser Strike is 5/16. I wonder if they started using a thick steel on the LS?
Rick McClanahan The ESEE-4 is 3/16 in. (0.18) thick & the Laser Strike is labeled being 3/16 & you'll also see it measured at 0.20; so it's confusing. The 4 is only 3/16 from the pommel to the base of the grind on the blade- due to it being a full flat grind. Where the LS is 3/16 for majority length of the blade, due to the high saber grind. *5/16 in. thick would be over 1/4 in. thick like the ESEE-5.
Honestly depends how your EDC is structured. The Laser Strike is a much more capable knife but the Esee 4 is lighter and small. So if you have a bigger EDC style setup I'd go the Laser Strike. If it's geared more towards being light weight then definitely the Esee 4
@@JakeMarcin sorry for responding so late. I'm looking to horizontal carry behind the waist in the small of my back. I want to conceal the knife as much as possible (dont like the attention) yet also be light enough that I wouldnt mind the extra weight. I'm think the esee 4 would be a good choice, laser strike seems like it would be too heavy. Any other competition out there for a better knife? I also really.like the sheath the esse comes with. seems quick to draw incase I need to fend off someone God forbid.
Noah Carl definitely sounds like the Esee 4 is better suited for your needs. There are plenty of other great knives out there for EDC. I think there are plenty of other people with much better knowledge then me when it comes to EDC. I can definitely vouch for the Esee 4 being a great knife though. But Spyderco has some fantastic knives too

Nice !
You helped me make up my mind ,
Laser strike, here I come
😎
I still have my Laser Strike, great knife, hope you enjoy yours :)
i have the 4 laser strike is cool but i think that hollowed out handle will make it inherently weaker in the handle
I have both and prefer the laser strike, carries better, feels better in hand. Imo
Thank you for your comparison. Greetings from Germany.
both are excellent
Great vid!!
Laser Strike hands down!
Great vid, answered my questions about finger choir size comparison between the two. Going to exchange my 4 for a LS tomorrow!
Thanks, glad it helped.
Hows the new knife? :)
what is that small notch in front of the finger choil on the laserstrike ?
Great review. Which one slices better?
Thank you, both the same thickness blade with the same angle, they cut the same, but the laser strike form me has a more comfortable handle

strange one, one the website it states they are the same thickness at the thickest point

*5/16 in. thick would be over 1/4 in. thick like the ESEE-5.
Both are 3/16 inch however the Esee 4 has a more pronounced distal taper (longer taper). Both great knives.
