AdvancedKnifeBro took his family camping. Or... Glamping. Which is like camping, but with enough modern amenities that the really hardcore outdoorsy folks (like maybe Jeff Randall and the team at ESEE) wouldn't really qualify as "camping". Edit: If you send me a free knife, I won't review it. I will however, cherish it until I manage to destroy it... and will cherish the replacement that your amazing warranty nets me afterward as well.
Oh that was the camp host... we had a hot as shit in 80 degree nighte REI tent. Nothing but the finest for the AKB family. I guess he liked all the batoning!
Thank you for your service to the knife brother community, you change lives; it is an absolute honour and privilege to be able watch an advanced master professional knife video artist practice his trade with the blade
Excellent video, way over 50%. 👍 I wasn’t interested in the Laser Strike because I can be vain and superficial in my knife buying preferences. Recently I broke a machete which put me into a mad cutting tool frenzy. Then along came a Laser Strike in tan. So, I added it to the order. Now, in another frenzy of possible buyer’s remorse I’m watching some videos on the knife and came across your video. You made me feel better about my purchase with your jovial banter and demonstration. 😊 I had steered clear of the LS because of looks but I watched a video and the knife worked well, even de-limbing a pine branch. Once it arrived with half a dozen other blades it felt right in my grubby lil mitts. Thanks for a fun video to wake me up with a cup of coffee, even if I am years late in finding your video. My apologies. 🍻
Thanks for the review. I was going to buy this until I saw that the knife is prone to falling over when you're trying to measure the handle thickness with video editing software. Saved me $120, AKB!
Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro, I found you via a Bark River Knives guy that was interviewed on the Dutch Bushcraft Knives podcast. Congrats on your highbrow and international fame.
Plenty of freshies! I want to say those two thumbs down came within the first 10 minutes... so they're from subscribers who couldn't have even watched the whole thing. Like Cedric said- that's how you know you've made it. People voluntarily watch something they don't like!
Sir, I have binge watched your older videos on many occasion. But I'm super humble about it. Like The MOST humble. You would have a hard time finding someone as humble as myself. Just saying. I know humble people, they tell me how humble I am all the time. My humility is UUGE. Sweet Esee btw.
I had to come back and watch this video again. Too good and love the LS. I am going to share this video on Facebook. I hope you get at least a few more subs from that. Also liked this video because I was to busy laughing at you eating feathersticks the first time I watched it.
AKB, watching your videos buzzed is one of my favorite things. Keep up the good work... btw, I am buying a Leatherman Wave largely due to your reviews. Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I just bought one. Now when I wander off into the woods wearing only a pair of cutoffs, a mesh tank top and flip flops, carrying only a LS... when I don’t come back, my wife can blame you.
I wasn't sure if you actually liked the laser strike until the sassy look you gave the camera when you were chewing that wood. Now I know that it is a series knife for serious RUclips bushcrafters. All joking aside, it really does look like a good offering from Esee and you did a good job on your review.
If you think the tops missle strike is close to the laser strike, you should see the cuma evolution. Not sure who stole who's design. But they are ridiculously similar
Just the name... but you're right. When I google the Evolution- the first result has a March 2016 stamp on it... Laser Strike I see reviews going all the way back to 2012. That's all I got.
When you held those split crooked limbs up to your knees towards the end, I thought for sure you were going to start building another you. The resemblance was uncanny! ...but you didn't. I don't know whether to feel disappointment, or relief. Maybe I'll feel a bit of both. Good vid!
Nice shirt, I’m already ready for their pumpkin ale again. Maybe that’s just me though. Ever look at the Efengrow line of knives? Claim to be D2 steel for around $20-$25 on Amazon.
Yeah I saw a cool one witg Jade G10 scales. I might try them, but already have plenty of projects that also will get little clicks, in different stages of finish.
Well my dude you got a new sub....found video bc I won a laser strike on eBay for a good deal so was looking up vids. Anywoo your are funny as hell so def sub'd will be watching more vids
i always love the last 30 seconds of all your videos for some reason ... maybe cause it's ending?? also, if I don't skip the ad that plays before your video starts, do you get more $ ?
Nice work mate, always enjoy the review be it knives or beer. Maybe you should do a series of vids matching beers to knives, as in food and wine etc, but much cooler....just a thought.
You said you don't review Becker knives, any way you could get hold of a BK7/BK5? you've already reviewed it and I missed it I will of course watch it IMMEDIATELY, gotta do my part and all that
I said I haven't yet... often times when I blow $100-$200 a month on bigger knives, I tend to stick to stuff I know will get me clicks... I will review these as soon as I can find a deal on one, or someone offers to lend me one or give me one. One of course I can use.
Secondary edges suck at feather sticking. Try putting a Scandi edge on it. Pretty easy if you have a 1×30 belt grinder. Take off the platen and reshape the edge on the slack portion of the belt. Go 80 to 600 grit watching you don't overheat the edge. Keep a bucket of water handy to cool the blade as you go. More of a full convex grind actually. 👍
Great Vid Bro, Self-esteem? Haha, I like that one. I'd say I loved, what I saw, but after having my retainers burned out, by those, frankly worryingly, white legs, I couldn't see anything. Looks like a great tool knife, I'll add it to the list. Cheers
I was so sure that I had something fun to say here , or somewhat intelligent at least, but somehow I forgot what that was... Hmm... Anyhow, thanks for another video!
another mediocre offering from Advanced Knife Bro.....we appreciate your 50% effort...I'm not sure RUclips is ready for 100%....
You hear that everyone!
F-Yeah!
So AKB sold me on an ESEE from his videos, but you all helping a bro out sold me on the company. HELL YEA BROTHER!
I'm looking for a fixed blade and AKB has convinced me to buy an ESEE. Thanks for providing the knives for review to the AKB channel.
I can't even imagine 100%...
This is one of few fixed blades I own, and I'm very interested in your take, Dad Bod and all
Hopefully I made you proud!
Nick Shabazz can we see a batoning video with the z Hunter? That would bring me a lot of joy.
Just wait... he may have sent me some.
@Nick you should do a video on fixed blades you own.
Not everyone can be Batman Nick.
Knifes are cool, unless they are sitting in the sun all day, then they tend to become hot.
This is the type of quality comment I’m looking for!
Yep
"Confidence is all you need when playing with knives...not motor skills." ...liked the video just for that.
Broham, that was a classic comment. Instant classic. 100% correct. Applies to all beer fueled endeavors.
I'd like to know more about the Breaking Bad motor domicile at the 9:20 mark....

@@AdvancedKnifeBro review the meth coach anyway
Thank you for your service to the knife brother community, you change lives; it is an absolute honour and privilege to be able watch an advanced master professional knife video artist practice his trade with the blade
Love the ESEE duct tape logo on your cold steel hat, and chewing on some wood shavings was super manly, the right move if you ask me
It had to be done
I heard wood chips go good with Hamm's. Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro just proved it.
Excellent video, way over 50%. 👍

Really like the idea of using the carved feathers for adding fiber to your diet. You're going to become a bushcraft legend
.... or a tree
Thanks for the review. I was going to buy this until I saw that the knife is prone to falling over when you're trying to measure the handle thickness with video editing software. Saved me $120, AKB!
Great knife...I picked one up about 10yrs ago along with a few other ESEE knives. Thanks for the 50% effort
I am 10% grateful for the comment!
That's exactly 100% more than expected
I just discovered you, I laughed my ass off ..thank-you. looking forward to seeing more..
Bring back the old logo on all ESEE knives!!! I like my LS.....great knife and sheath
Subscriber for life right here. I do enjoy a giggle whilst surviving.... In my back yard.
Duck Tape patch on your hat, a 16oz Hamms beer and your honesty and humor..... pencil me down for a high 5 Bro - Cheers!!!!!!
Thanks man!
You are right. The ESEE LS is an excellent wood clobbering knife. Love it!
Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro, I found you via a Bark River Knives guy that was interviewed on the Dutch Bushcraft Knives podcast. Congrats on your highbrow and international fame.
Bark River knives? They know about me?
Yeah. You were lumped in with DBK in the "knife comedy" category.
Simply awesome. Going down to see the guys from ESEE this weekend. I think you have the best knife reviews I’ve seen on RUclips. Lol
Tell them all of this!
They already know. We’ve talked about you multiple times. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Feel free to name drop me with any knife maker you meet. THE BEST THING ABOUT HIM IS HE RESPECTS THE KNIFE.
I always baton that like button for my favorite human doo doo youtuber. Great review advanced knife bro.
Thanks man!
Fire, steaks, beer and knives. And humor. What else could ya ask for?
I love the hilarious reviews! Time for us all to lighten up a little.
11 hrs old & still fresh comments, gotts you a record there... keepem coming
Plenty of freshies! I want to say those two thumbs down came within the first 10 minutes... so they're from subscribers who couldn't have even watched the whole thing. Like Cedric said- that's how you know you've made it. People voluntarily watch something they don't like!
Advanced Knife Bro... got a lot busy chasing bass for a week without the taste of female ejaculation slowing me up.
Sir, I have binge watched your older videos on many occasion. But I'm super humble about it. Like The MOST humble. You would have a hard time finding someone as humble as myself. Just saying. I know humble people, they tell me how humble I am all the time. My humility is UUGE. Sweet Esee btw.
ALOOTA peeple hav been sayin thechugdude uve gotta be one of the humblest stablesy people Ive ever met.
I love my Laser Strike. If you want more fixed blades to review I have the LT Wright Genesis, LT Outback, LT Wright next gen., and lt Wright machete.
I also have a TOPs BOB. A spyderco mule in s35vn and a few buck fixed blades. Didn't realize I had this many until I started typing these comments.
I'll keep that in mind!
Dude, love your reviews. Perfect balance of info and entertainment 😜
I had to come back and watch this video again. Too good and love the LS. I am going to share this video on Facebook. I hope you get at least a few more subs from that. Also liked this video because I was to busy laughing at you eating feathersticks the first time I watched it.
Thank you, your humor really attracted me to subscribing
Eating the feather carving carvings. Amazing
AKB, watching your videos buzzed is one of my favorite things. Keep up the good work... btw, I am buying a Leatherman Wave largely due to your reviews. Thanks!
Commenting because our boi needs that growth
ESEE definetely told you to say it all man, i bet they are your beer suppliahh
Probably. Advanced Shill Bro.
Thanks for showing comparisons with the other Esee knives. Haven't seen that anywhere else. Nice vid
Thanks!
Had to Sub...your dry humor with my coffee made my morning. Thanks
Thanks for checking out the channel man. I just try to keep things fun!
Just found your channel. Love the humor.
And the legs.
i got the laser strike and i freakin love it i also own a jungalas and a esee 4 with 3d scales the 4 is my second fav now laser strike being first
i like the bushcraft esee ad in your hat .
Best review video intro I've ever heard
I noticed that the adjustable sheath tensioner is missing too.
It's not missing, I just moved it.
When will we get another video? Love Esee
Thanks for the review. I just bought one. Now when I wander off into the woods wearing only a pair of cutoffs, a mesh tank top and flip flops, carrying only a LS... when I don’t come back, my wife can blame you.

All joking aside, it really does look like a good offering from Esee and you did a good job on your review.
It's a good size and comfortable... more of a blunt instrument than a fine slicer, but there's a need for that. I mean I think there is.
Dude, the knife drop at the end. 👍
should have done the whistle and crash sound
You are doing Gods work
Drinking coffee, watching AKB.
My dude!
American guy with a British sense of humour instant thumbs up and subscribe from me must have some Canadian in him 😂
This one brought knife video watching to a whole new level of tastiness! Nice hat.
I'm running out of gimmcks!
Your channel is easily becoming one of my favorites. Kept it up.
Thanks man!
Advanced Knife Bro I just realized I said, “Kept it up.” I meant, “Keep it up.” “Kept it up” sounds sexual.
And I don’t want to get you too excited.
ESEE IG sent me here! Hilarious channel and a refreshing (don’t take yourself too serious) take on reviews. Subscribed for sure! Esee rocks!!
Yes they do... I love Esee, and have reviewed quite a few of their blades!
Yeah, thanks, bro! Could have 2:22 warned earlier and now I can't see the writing on the screen. 😂😂😂
Loved the review! Well done.
Bro the commentary got my sub in less than 1 minute
Still very happy with my Esee Laser Strike
Thanks for the laughs... and the review, too-I guess.
Best knife review I've ever seen thank you
If you think the tops missle strike is close to the laser strike, you should see the cuma evolution. Not sure who stole who's design. But they are ridiculously similar
Just the name... but you're right. When I google the Evolution- the first result has a March 2016 stamp on it... Laser Strike I see reviews going all the way back to 2012. That's all I got.
Just doing my part, comrade. Keep up the awesome work. All hail Advanced Knife Bro!
Toasts to the mothertube
Those blue lines are on point this video, noice!
Blade has a high saber grind, almost a flat grind. Thanks for the video!
Sabre grinds can be flat grinds too!
what's with the FEATHERSNAX? did i miss out on something?
You sure did.
Awesome video bro. Love your humor
New favourite RUclipsr! love the humour, need more of these type of videos in the bushcraft world 😂
Ahh, one of the best vids from ya so far! Totally dug it, keep up the good work
Thanks man!
Love that custom EDSEE hat Bro.!
I’d like to you see you compare a Becker bk2 to a crowbar.
The B&E field test.
I just ordered one I can't wait
Quality material... wood beating, knife review and all
Always gotta have the wood beating yo!
When you held those split crooked limbs up to your knees towards the end, I thought for sure you were going to start building another you. The resemblance was uncanny! ...but you didn't.
I don't know whether to feel disappointment, or relief. Maybe I'll feel a bit of both. Good vid!
My head is already made from wood, so we're already on our way.
odličan video nadam se da ćeš imati puno više predplatnika ...pozdrav iz vukojebine
Thanks!
Nice shirt, I’m already ready for their pumpkin ale again. Maybe that’s just me though. Ever look at the Efengrow line of knives? Claim to be D2 steel for around $20-$25 on Amazon.
Yeah I saw a cool one witg Jade G10 scales. I might try them, but already have plenty of projects that also will get little clicks, in different stages of finish.
The SEO is strong, with this one.....
I hope so!
Could you do a video reviewing the taste of shavings from different types of wood? Which one is your favorite? Thanks in advance!
Maple is my favorite. However it tastes like wood and not syrup.
Alrighty, liked and shared my fellow comrades
My man!
Love your work bro
Thanks man!
Bro you are baton like a pro. 50 is the new 100! ESSE LS if I had to choose just one.
Advanced batoning bro 👍
I was too busy trying to figure out if you had a Para 3 in CruWear or M4 to notice any legs.
M4
NOICE!
Review coming in a week or two.
Looking forward to it.
Nice vid. Can't help but notice the Schlafly tee. You from the Lou?
Well my dude you got a new sub....found video bc I won a laser strike on eBay for a good deal so was looking up vids. Anywoo your are funny as hell so def sub'd will be watching more vids
As always, great video! And as a dad with chicken legs myself, I totally understand so no judgement from me.
i always love the last 30 seconds of all your videos for some reason ... maybe cause it's ending?? also, if I don't skip the ad that plays before your video starts, do you get more $ ?
Yes... watching the dumb ad that plays before the video helps... also clicking ad shit on the videos helps. Not much, but every bit counts
Nice work mate, always enjoy the review be it knives or beer. Maybe you should do a series of vids matching beers to knives, as in food and wine etc, but much cooler....just a thought.
I like this idea.
Grow the channel. SET THE TONE!!!!!!
You said you don't review Becker knives, any way you could get hold of a BK7/BK5? you've already reviewed it and I missed it I will of course watch it IMMEDIATELY, gotta do my part and all that

This is a good video. New subscriber! I am really liking this knife.
Hey man, thanks for watching?
That was some artisan batoning at the end Hanlen.
Batonin on the curve!
How about a short review on the lounge chair.
I'll consider it...gotta figure out where the wife got them.
There are two dislikes on this video. May God have mercy on those soulless bastards.
They subscribe to waste their own time! Brilliant!
Fun fact, the RUclips algorithm treats "dislikes" the same way as "likes" in terms of activity-based video promotion. DISLIKE AWAY, HATERS! :)
Definitely NWO puppets or NWA puppets or whatever its called.
Trace Young Hollywood Hogan was the best Hogan!
Boys in the hood are always hard bro.
yeee thanks mane love them vids

How about doing some videos on ESEE knives for a change?
Love all the videos
I love your videos! I am just rollin over here!
Is your day job a comedy script writer? love your reviews!
Instant sub. I love this dude.
😂😂😂 I'm so glad I found your channel! Loved your Esee hat.
Love this bud, hilarious. Good review too. Honest and straight. Got mine coming today.
I just noticed Bladehq did a review of this knife.....6 years ago.
OH MY GOD NO
Advanced Knife Bro haha, never change man!
Great Vid Bro, Self-esteem? Haha, I like that one. I'd say I loved, what I saw, but after having my retainers burned out, by those, frankly worryingly, white legs, I couldn't see anything. Looks like a great tool knife, I'll add it to the list. Cheers
Thanks dude!
lol love your review right from the beginning!
I was so sure that I had something fun to say here , or somewhat intelligent at least, but somehow I forgot what that was... Hmm... Anyhow, thanks for another video!
Me neither!
Is the Junglas 2 thicker behind the edge than Laser Strike?
Yep. Just measured. 1.3mm.
