    Tried to line them up the JG5 is a little thicker but not by much...

    Thanks! I was wondering if the JG5 grips had any additional swell to them. Looks like they're just a tad thicker throughout.

    Yes it’s thicker throughout by just a small amount. There really isn’t a palm swell it’s pretty flat. The handle design though gives great grip.

    Nothing finer than seeing these 2 ESEEs in classic style side by side!
    Thanks for the pics.

    I hadn't realized that the blade stock was thinner than the pr4. Bet it's a slicey dicey son of a gun!

    Happy to help!

    I’m pretty sure it can slice anything....

    Is this still an SMWK exclusive? Why do I see JG5 popping up everywhere now? Why does SMKW still advertise it as an SMKW exclusive on their website?

    I know the knife connection started selling it but they worked out a deal with SMKW and buy them through them. At least that is my understanding.

    I see. I noticed a few others selling the JG5 and theirs does not have the SMKW laser etch and so was confused. Thanks!

    Thank you for the answer Shane! Mystery solved. I have been puzzled with this for months but only started asking now.
