The ESEE 3 Fixed Blade Knife is built for those who demand dependable performance when conditions get tough. Compact enough for everyday field carry yet rugged enough for serious outdoor use, this American-made fixed blade embodies the durability, practicality, and no-nonsense design that have made ESEE a trusted name among survivalists, outdoorsmen, and professionals alike.
At the core of the ESEE 3 is a 3.88" drop point blade crafted from proven 1095 carbon steel. Known for its exceptional toughness, ease of sharpening, and reliable edge retention, 1095 remains one of the most trusted steels for hard-use field knives. The blade is protected by a highly visible orange textured powder-coated finish that enhances corrosion resistance while making the knife easy to locate in low-light conditions or dense terrain. Its versatile drop point profile handles everything from detailed carving and food preparation to campsite chores and emergency situations.
The orange and black 3D-machined G-10 handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip designed for real-world use. Deep contours fit naturally in the hand, offering excellent control and comfort during extended cutting sessions. The durable G-10 construction resists moisture, temperature changes, and heavy abuse, making it an ideal handle material for demanding outdoor environments.
Measuring 8.25" overall and weighing 9.28 ounces, the ESEE 3 strikes an excellent balance between portability and capability. Its full tang construction maximizes strength and durability, ensuring the knife is ready for hard work when you need it most.
A black molded Kydex sheath with clip plate and mounting hardware keeps the knife protected and readily accessible. The package also includes ESEE bumper stickers and an ESEE/Randall's Adventure & Training survival card, reinforcing the knife's heritage in wilderness preparedness and fieldcraft.
Proudly made in the USA, the ESEE 3 is built to perform when reliability matters most, whether you're exploring the backcountry, preparing for emergencies, or adding a proven workhorse to your collection.
