ESEE 3 Fixed Blade Red and Black 3D G-10 3.88in Plain Desert Tan ESEE3PMDT004

The ESEE 3 Fixed Blade Knife with Red and Black 3D G-10 Handle and Desert Tan Blade is a compact yet incredibly tough survival knife designed to perform in the most challenging environments. Rugged, reliable, and purpose-built, this knife has earned its reputation as a go-to choice for survivalists, outdoorsmen, law enforcement, and military personnel who demand performance they can trust in the field.

At the core of this knife is a 3.88-inch drop point blade, precision-crafted from 1095 carbon steel, a material widely respected for its outstanding toughness, excellent edge retention, and ability to be easily resharpened in the field. Unlike stainless steel, 1095 carbon steel offers the brute strength necessary for demanding survival tasks such as batoning, carving, and food preparation in rugged environments. To protect the steel and increase longevity, the blade is finished with a desert tan textured powder coating. This coating not only enhances its resistance to wear, corrosion, and glare but also gives the knife a distinctive tactical look that stands out in both outdoor and professional applications.

The drop point blade design makes the ESEE 3 a versatile tool, equally effective at piercing, slicing, or precision cutting. Whether you’re dressing game, preparing kindling, or tackling survival scenarios, the blade’s balance of strength and control makes it an indispensable companion. Thumb jimping along the spine provides additional grip and leverage, improving control for detailed tasks where precision is key.

One of the standout features of the ESEE 3 is its handle. This model is equipped with a red and black 3D machined G-10 handle, which offers the perfect blend of durability and ergonomics. G-10, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, is renowned for its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and hard use. The 3D machining creates a contoured, textured grip that ensures the knife stays firmly in hand, even in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions. The vibrant red and black color pattern not only adds visual appeal but also makes the knife easy to locate in your gear or in low-light environments.

The handle design includes a rounded pommel and a lanyard hole, giving users multiple options for carry and utility. These small but thoughtful details make the ESEE 3 adaptable to a wide range of tasks, whether you’re out in the wilderness, on a tactical mission, or working in a survival training scenario.

Measuring 8.25 inches overall and weighing 9.6 ounces, the ESEE 3 strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance. It is large enough to handle tough jobs, yet compact and lightweight enough to carry comfortably for extended periods. Its full-tang construction maximizes strength, ensuring the knife can withstand serious use without compromise.

For carry, the ESEE 3 includes an impact-resistant molded black plastic sheath with a convenient belt loop. This sheath provides excellent retention, quick access, and reliable protection for the blade, making it practical for everyday field carry, tactical setups, or emergency readiness.

Proudly made in the USA, the ESEE 3 exemplifies American craftsmanship and a dedication to quality. Every detail of this knife is designed to meet the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering a balance of toughness, control, and dependability that has made ESEE knives legendary around the world. Whether you’re facing backcountry challenges, tactical demands, or simply need a reliable blade for everyday preparedness, the ESEE 3 delivers uncompromising performance.
