ESEE 3: a compact survival knife, made to be used

Features of the ESEE 3

ESEE 3: blade

The ESEE 3's 9-cm blade is made from 1095 carbon steel. This steel is not stainless, but it can handle a lot. Perhaps just as important: 1095 is also very easy to sharpen. This means you can still sharpen your knife in the field with relatively limited resources.

ESEE 3: handle

For the handle you can choose between micarta or G10. Some models in this collection feature a G10 handle. Earlier models have flat micarta scales. Both options feel great in hand. The advantage of micarta is that you'll still have a good grip in wet conditions. The handles are available in different tough-looking colours.

ESEE 3 carrying options

You can carry the ESEE 3 in many different ways. The sheaths are available in different colours, and you can also order a belt clip or MOLLE back to go with your ESEE 3. That's why ESEE delivers these knives without sheath; they know most people will want to assemble their own set. Of course, for those who prefer their knives delivered with a sheath there are also standard sets available.

ESEE 3: easy to maintain, sharp and strong

ESEE knives excel at what they were designed to do; help you survive in the jungle. That means these knives are strong, easy to maintain and able to hold an edge. The knife meets the requirements of outdoor enthusiasts thanks to the use of 1095-carbon steel for the blade. This steel is easy to sharpen and maintain, it retains its sharpness for a long time, and it's also incredibly strong and robust. So, if you ever find yourself in the woods, with little to no supplies available, a knife from ESEE can be a lifesaver. The only thing the knife regularly needs is to remove any corrosion that might have formed. However, ESEE has a solution: many models have an extra protection against corrosion thanks to a special powder coating.

ESEE: craftsmanship

The knives by ESEE owe their strong, robust character to ESEE's skilled manufacturing process. Heat treatment is an extremely important step to achieve the final properties of the blade. ESEE knives has truly perfect this process. As a result, you'll have to try very hard if you wanted to break the steel. If you try hard enough, of course any knife can break. ESEE knives are definitely strong enough to handle both heavy-duty use and everyday use.
