    I did a post about my Laser Strike a few days ago on Social Media... Still a favorite for sure..

    I’m often asked to what my favorite knife is. It’s a hard question and it involves not only design, features, and ergonomics, but also MEMORIES. I recently loaned my prized Laser Strike to my buddy @just_a_mountain_dude_ and he sent me these shots taken by his wife @appalachian_mountains_girl. It brought back a flood of memories using this knife during my Dec ‘15 Field Survival Class (almost 2 years before coming on staff). It was a typical Field Survival class with epic weather with the high for the weekend being 28* and a low of 18*, no sleep, no food. It sounds miserable, but it was awesome; and, in some ways lead me to my position here at ESEE Knives. So what you are seeing is a Laser strike with a sheath I designed and had a guy build. (Don’t ask for the maker as he later stole two blades from me and disappeared-I’m still a little sore about that). The knife was stripped and I had it coated with NiB (Nickel Boron-like an AR BCG). I cut grooves in the handle with a Dremel....just because. I spent hours convexing the edge and put a notebook cover red liner in it. This one is still special to me bc it’s #myesee and #eseestory e. If you get time. Share your #eseestory with us! #esee #eseeknives #randallsadventureandtraining

    Wish I had seen you were looking for some, I’d have sold you my black w/orange liner set cheaper than TKC so I can order a midnight tiger set. I’ve learned having extra knife scales around is like having extra AR parts around, eventually they turn into another knife.

    Gorgeous laserstrike @shaneadams90 !!! I really like how that NiB coating looks and your sheath design looks well thought out.

    Thank you! I won't claim I did all that with the LS because I didn't. The weather was finally decent enough (no gusty wind) to allow me to burn a huge amount of old scrap wood from remodeling projects last summer.

    Sanded the blade coating off, squared the spine, soaked it all day yesterday in white vinegar while I was in the field and got the edge perfect this morning. Just waiting on the new scales to get delivered today.

    Man the TKC scales really do transform the Laserstrike into a really different handling knife.
