The ESEE-3 is the knife that started it all for ESEE, and it remains one of the most popular and reliable fixed blades on the market. This knife is precision-crafted from tough 1095 carbon steel. This steel is legendary for its durability and the ease with which it can be sharpened in the field. This model features a durable OD green powder coat finish.

This is a perfect “do-it-all” knife. Consequently, it is an outstanding choice for law enforcement, military use, or as a primary blade for survival and bushcraft. The ESEE-3 is lightweight and thin, making it an excellent slicer without sacrificing its toughness.

This model features high-visibility orange G10 handle scales. These scales are exceptionally durable, weather-proof, and provide a secure, aggressive grip in all conditions. The pointed pommel also includes a convenient lanyard hole.

Additionally, this knife includes a high-quality, durable black molded polymer sheath with a MOLLE back. For a version with a black blade, consider the ESEE-3 Black Sheath.

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