The ESEE-3 is a legendary blade, and this ESEE-3 Modified Handle version offers a unique, ergonomic feel. This knife features the classic 1095 carbon steel blade. This steel is renowned for its incredible toughness and ease of sharpening in the field. This model has a black powder-coated blade.

This knife is an outstanding choice for anyone needing a reliable field knife. Consequently, it is ideal for bushcraft, general-purpose survival, or as a sturdy camp knife. The 0.125-inch thickness makes it an excellent slicer, while the 1095 steel provides superior toughness.

The main feature of the ESEE-3 Modified Handle is its unique handle profile. Unlike the standard ESEE-3, this “HM” version removes the finger choil and features a longer, more rounded “broomstick” handle. This results in a more traditional and comfortable grip for many users.

Additionally, this knife includes a high-quality, classic brown leather pouch sheath for a traditional and durable carry. For a version with modern G-10 scales, consider the ESEE-3 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.
