Excellent review! I was the same. Didn’t hardly give the LS a second thought because of appearance. My only ESEE knives were the 6 and Izula II for many years. Recently I broke a machete and went on a “I’m gonna buy every tough knife that I’ll ever need” buying binge. I saw a video where two guys demo’s a few ESEE knives and the LS impressed me for the first time. Then I saw the Coyote LS and hit the buy button. I had a bit of buyer’s remorse but only for a minute. I grabbed my 6 and the new 5 with 3D scales that I had also purchased and the LS began making sense. I’m getting excited to put it to use and compare it in function to my other knives.
I think I know the video you're talking about haha. About an hour long, the main guy sounds like he's got a NY or NJ accent (it may be from somewhere else, I dunno, I'm from the South lol), good video though, they did alot of demoing with those. But yea I absolutely love the Coyote and Dark Earth coatings, I definitely prefer subdued Earth tones lol. The only thing the LS lacks (for me) is a nice hammer pommel, like the E6 has, but other than that it's pretty close to perfect for me. The name does it no favors though, at least for guys like me who aren't ever looking for anything tactical lol, utility first, anything "tactical" is gonna be strictly...incidental for me haha. Anyways, thanks for watching & commenting on my video, I'm a small channel so I get excited when people do 😆
@@survivalofthefittest409 Yeah, I think that is the video! 👍 You’re right about the pommel, that would be handy to not mess up the micarta scales. Have a great “rest of the weekend!”
The knife was named after certain mission, but the knife was designed for pilots as a survival knife. The blade designed after a Kephart knife, which is a general purpose camp, wilderness knife.
Thank you for letting me know that! I hope the video didn't glitch up on ya..they've been doing that lately. But I would love to know more about that mission!
Came about watching your video because I have owned the ESEE Laser Strike for a while but I don't love it and I was looking for some inspiration. Still don't know if I am going to keep it moving forward. Thanks for posting your thoughts!
I certainly still love it, but at the end of the day, all our tastes & needs are different, so get whatever makes you happy. Thanks for checking out my video though!
