- In this video I test the new SMKW Exclusive Esee JG5.
I really like this knife and would suggest it to anyone.
Here is where to get one for yourself:

Also I apologize about Arlo my Goldendoodle for whining in the video, he's an attention whore and wants my attention all the time. - Розваги
Good review I think your the only one doing a real use review rite now. I’m getting one now.
I saw that I was the only one doing a real video on this knife, it's why I was eager to get this knife for both a great blade but also I wanted to set the precedent for testing this blade.
Great review; I think an 8 inch blade and 0.25 thick larger version and this JG5 with folding saw! Wow, what a trio combo.....thanks for your review.
I still really like this knife and it’s my favorite Esee. I think a 5/32 or 3/16 7 inch or so version would awesome
In addition to his fixed blade Nesmuck carried a small double bit hatchet and a pocket knife. He would have never used his fixed blade for processing wood for a fire. The actual knife was thin like a kitchen blade. Its shape is specifically designed for game processing and food preparation.
That’s probably true but I test knives to the fullest. I also carry an axe and a few blades when I go out myself. What’s nice is this knife can handle anything you throw at it
Yes before the SS Gestapo of grammar attacks me yes I spelled apologize wrong in my video, wtf ever lol live with it
Great review. Just ordered one. Thank you and subscribed!
You won’t be disappointed, I still adore this knife and would love to see Esee make a beefier midsize model. Thanks for watching and subbing
Thanks for the review. I got mine in late July.
Thanks for watching and commenting, I really like mine and plan to integrate it into my work more. Lately I’ve been focusing on my own knife design and trying to get Esee to potentially make a production model
This is just a suggestion, when doing reverse chest pull cuts, anchor the blade away from you, and pull the woodback towards you. This greatly improves your control and leverage when hogging out the wood.
Nice video, I enjoyed watching.
P.S. : I too like the design and just ordered one myself.
Thanks for the video. Any chance you have a 3hm? I am trying to decide between the 3hm and the JG5. I like the thin stock they share. One advantage I see of the 3hm is the hand can get closer to the sharpened edge to increase leverage when cutting. Any help would be great.
I might someday get the 3HM, however I just got the regular Esee3. I would say the JG5 would probably be overall more capable with the longer blade and sharpened spine, however I see what your saying with the 3HM and the ability to get your hand closer but I’m not sure if it’s that much closer that it would make an advantage. I do have plans on testing the 6HM and Junglas II before too long. Thanks for watching btw
Brisa nessmuk is a good & direct competitor to the esee.
Scandi grind
80CRV2 carbon steel
Micarta or stabilised wood
Leather sheath
I’ll have to check it out
Hi, very nice video! one question, is the thickness of the blade okay or should it be thicker? Greetings from Argentina!
The thickness is great it is 1/8. So not super thin but not too thick. If your gonna do a lot of abusive testing you might consider something with a thicker blade but if your gonna do mild abusive work and mostly common knife uses then this should be perfect
The original knife that nessmuk had was of different design changed in time but made all the same to function for outdoorsmen
You sold me brother, was on the fence between this or a laser strike, this fits my need better. Best review of this knife on the internet by the way.
Hey Thanks man, I personally Like the JG5 much better as it performs most common knife tasks much better. I will say the Laser Strike is still a great knife for I have them both and have done reviews of both. It would also make a better tactical knife for military/LE if thats what your using it for but for everything else, it's the JG5.
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors I carry an Emerson CQC-11 for the fighting thing. Need a good bushcraft bug out knife.
@@NateSail82 This knife would be perfect for such, this and my LT Wright Forest Trail are my two favorite bushcraft/camp knives
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors thanks man, have you found a better sheath for it that you prefer?
@@NateSail82 Yes look up www.armatuscarry.com/store/c26/Sheaths.html
I just ordered one for my JG5 but I have several for my other knives including my Esee 4 and BK16 for EDC. This guys makes them really good and he sponsored my channel with a coupon code:

Have you tried the joker nessmuk in flat grind? How does it compare to the slicing capabilities of the jg5?
I have not but I’d like to
Good video! I’m waiting on your Junglas-2 video!!
It’s coming. I really am trying to finish up my gun range so I can do more firearms related video but I’ll get to the Esee Junglas II rest assured.
Good video my brother...
Well done ..
Hey thanks brother, eager to train more
Bps sells decent leather sheaths with Ferro rods. I think they fit the jg5. Bought some from Amazon
That’s cool, I’ll have to check it out
Thanks for review. ..great knife. Designed by James Gibson for esee!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for the review.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors least I can do when someone likes my designs and helps to promote them. Thank you again.
I am been in contact with a Esee as of late trying to get my design promoted. I actually am gonna be doing tests and video reviews soon on my design and then show it to Esee.
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors they have 5 of my designs now with 2 yet to come out. The axe and the firebird a tool to help with fire making. Of course I've been teaching there bushcraft/survival for about 5 years now. They are a great company and a fantastic group of people. Keep it up my friend.
Nice review! I was all set to purchase SMKW-Esee JG5 stop in SMKW to look at it and walked away from it!
Haha you’ll either get it or wished you did lol
I think it's a nice knife just don't fit my needs! I'm glad you like it and sure it will fill your needs. Esse builds great knives. TX
@@carllevingston6022 Yea, I can see its not for everyone, me personally I like more robust medium size knives. It's why I designed my own and am currently trying to get Esee to make a production model of my Seax 7

Nice knife, good video
Hey thanks, it is a nice knife and I still carry it on a lot of adventures
I would give up every knife I own for my wife to hop in some camouflage and come play in the woods with me
Good work man I’m stuck between that knife and the pr4
I’m lucky to have such a beautiful woman that likes to occasionally rough it in the woods with me. As far as this vs the PR4, I would say both are good and is mostly personal preference. However having messed with both the JG5 and PR4, the JG5 is one of my favorite knives in general and I have literally dozens of knives so take that for what it’s worth.
I just got that knife. Blade is great, Handle suxs
Huh I actually liked the handle a lot but that said not every handle works for everyone. With knives, pistols, etc. Curious what do you not like about it?
Beautiful dogs
Thank you, the Red one is a Arlo and is a Standard Poopdle/Golden retriever aka Goldendoodle
The black one is Amos and he’s a Poodel/German Shepard
I’m ordering one
Best warranty forever
Good video. What about?: Smith & Sons Tataille
What is Smith &Sons? Tataille
The Last Huntsmen

I’ve never heard of them but that knife looks really nice. I little out of my preferred price range for the materials used and to be honest I’m not super excited about D2 steel, it’s generally too brittle. Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment I’m trying to get my own knife design to kickoff
Order it👍👍
Won’t regret it
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors been waiting for an esee to make a nesmuck for years. Don't know why it took them soooo long😳
I have no idea, but I really like this one. I actually designed a Seax style knife and have submitted it to Esee several times. I think that would be cool because how many modern interpretations are there if a Seax knife. I never get a reply out of them anymore
I'm pretttty sure your lady did a full "lean-cheek and fart" @3:18 then sme looks right at the camera and smiles hahahaha cool chick in my book 😝✌️👍
I want this knife so bad... Everyone is out of stock 😢😢
Just found it here on TKC, only a handful left though
www.theknifeconnection.net/esee-knives-camp-lore-james-gibson-jg5-1095-carbon-steel-tumbled-black-oxide-finish-sculptured-micarta-handle-scales/
I’d make it quick and best of luck buddy
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors got an email today from knifeworks. Com telling me they had 5 in stock,. I bought one immediately along with a 6 hm.
Well good man, I think you’ll enjoy this knife, I know I have.
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors the second i saw it i knew i had to have it. Itll be my my first ESEE and i cant wait. I know i wont regret it. Thanks for the awesome content man, keep it up.
Well welcome to the Esee club, I’m sure it won’t be your only Esee too. At one point I had almost every model but found myself having to thin some out just to make room for more gear and stuff.
I've agreed with you thicker steel and maybe 6" would really tip this esee please make it ya know you want to 🙂
good review... but music distracts ... should be a little lower
Yea it’s why I pretty much take it out entirely of most new videos, I will set it at like 15% and it still is overwhelming. I don’t know if it’s my program or rendering that does it. Thanks for watching regardless
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors want you to know I appreciate your work... just a minor observation ... very constructive as i want to fully hear what you have to say... from a fellow camper
Best SS
Thanks man, like I said I have been leaving the music out and plan on doing so from here on out because of this issue. Thanks again
Lol, you realize you could have just bent the small sapling over and push cut straight through it instead of chopping at it 🤣
No shit, I’m testing the knife
@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors right on right on just checking lol
I don't think a "poor man" would be buying even an Esee. There's not a big price difference between that knife and an LT Wright.
There is a good portion of LTs that are pushing or well over $200, this can be gotten for a little over a $100 is all I’m saying I suppose
There’s also quite a few closer to the cost of this knife in the $150 range. This knife is $125 in most places. But even the difference between this knife and a $200 LTWK isn’t enough to make a poor man afford the Esee generally.
