The ESEE-3 is a legendary blade, and this ESEE-3MIL version is built for hard-use tactical and rescue applications. 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, plain-edge blade.

This knife is an outstanding choice for anyone needing a reliable duty knife. Consequently, it is ideal for tactical applications, rescue scenarios, or as a hard-use survival knife. It maintains the ESEE-3’s excellent slicing geometry.

The main feature of the ESEE-3MIL is its pointed pommel, which is designed to be a functional glass breaker. This adds a critical rescue element to the proven ESEE-3 platform.

Additionally, this knife includes a high-quality, durable black molded polymer sheath with a clip plate. For a version with a more traditional rounded pommel, consider the ESEE-3 Modified Handle.

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