The ESEE-5 is a legendary blade, designed as a hard-use aircrew survival knife, and this ESEE-5 3D G-10 model adds modern ergonomics. This knife is built from a massive 0.25-inch thick slab of 1095 carbon steel, which is prized for its extreme durability and field-serviceable edge.

This is a heavy-duty tool, not just a knife. Consequently, it is an ideal choice for the most demanding wilderness survival, batoning, chopping, and hard-use tactical or rescue tasks.

Furthermore, this model includes the upgraded 3D-contoured gray/black G-10 handles. These scales provide a substantially more ergonomic and secure grip compared to standard flat scales. As a result, you get superior control and less fatigue during heavy chopping.

The blade is also protected by a durable black powder coat finish, which aids in rust prevention. Additionally, this knife comes with a heavy-duty black Kydex sheath. For a larger 1095 option, consider the ESEE-6 3D G-10.

Like all ESEE products, this knife is proudly made in the USA. You can explore the full lineup on the ESEE Knives homepage.
