The 1095 carbon steel blade, around 6.5 mm thick and finished with a black protective coating, handles batoning, splitting, and heavy cutting without compromise.
The partially serrated edge tackles ropes, straps, and synthetic materials, while the plain section offers precise cutting and control.
Textured micarta with jimping, a striking pommel with a lanyard hole, and a durable Kydex sheath with multiple mounting options for comfortable and secure carry.
Looking for a knife that can stand up to field use, bushcraft, and rescue work? The ESEE 5 is designed as a genuine outdoor and survival tool. The 1095 steel blade with a hardness of approx. 57 HRC has a strong profile (approx. 6.5 mm) for maximum durability, a black protective coating against corrosion, and a combination (partially serrated) edge for efficient cutting of fibers, belts, and tough materials.
The canvas micarta handle is screw-fastened, sits securely in the hand, and provides an excellent grip even when wet. It also features pronounced jimping thumb rests, a lanyard hole, and a glass breaker/striking pommel at the end. Another notable detail is the integrated bow-drill divot for fire starting. The knife is complemented by a durable Kydex sheath with multiple eyelets for variable carry.
