The ESEE-5 is a legendary blade, designed as a hard-use aircrew survival knife, and this ESEE-5 3D Micarta model offers a classic feel with 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. The ESEE-5 3D Micarta is built to handle anything.

Furthermore, this model features the upgraded 3D-contoured green canvas micarta handles. These scales provide a warm, secure, and highly ergonomic grip that actually improves with age and use. As a result, you get superior control and less fatigue during heavy chopping.

The blade is also protected by a durable OD green powder coat finish, which aids in rust prevention. Additionally, this knife comes with a heavy-duty black Kydex sheath. For a version with G-10 scales, consider the ESEE-5 3D G-10 Dark Earth.

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