SHOP CASE KNIVESThe ESEE-3P-DT is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for hard use in unforgiving conditions. Compact, dependable, and field proven, it’s the kind of knife that earns its reputation through performance rather than flash. The 3.88" plain edge blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel and finished in a rugged desert tan powder coat for added corrosion resistance and reduced glare. It’s easy to maintain in the field, takes a razor edge, and holds it through serious work.
At just over 8" overall, the ESEE-3 strikes a balance between portability and capability. The full tang construction provides the strength you need for demanding outdoor tasks, from processing game to building shelter. Its straightforward drop point profile offers excellent control for slicing, carving, and detail work, making it a reliable companion whether you’re deep in the backcountry or working around camp.
The handle scales are built from durable Micarta, contoured for a secure, comfortable grip even in wet conditions. They’re designed to lock into your hand without hot spots, giving you confidence during extended use. Paired with a foliage green molded sheath, this knife rides securely on your belt or pack and deploys quickly when it’s time to get to work.
Proudly made in the USA, the ESEE-3 reflects a commitment to quality and no-nonsense design that serious users respect. It’s a tool you can trust when conditions turn rough and reliability matters most.
