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.
