SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen you need a survival knife that can withstand the harshest environments, the ESEE 4 Fixed Blade Knife in Stonewash S35VN with 3D Black and Gray G-10 Handle delivers unmatched dependability. Known around the world for their rugged construction and no-nonsense designs, ESEE knives are trusted by survivalists, outdoorsmen, first responders, and military professionals. The ESEE 4 stands out as one of the most versatile and capable models in their lineup—balancing cutting power, durability, and carry comfort in a field-ready design.
At the heart of the ESEE 4 is a 4.5-inch drop point blade crafted from premium S35VN stainless steel. Developed as an upgrade to S30V, S35VN offers superior toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for environments where reliability is critical. The stonewash finish not only adds a rugged aesthetic but also helps reduce glare and hide wear marks from heavy use. With its versatile drop point profile, this blade excels at everything from carving and slicing to field dressing and light chopping—making it a true multi-role survival tool.
The knife’s full-tang construction ensures maximum strength and durability. Unlike partial tang designs, the full tang allows the ESEE 4 to handle extreme pressure and repeated impact without compromise. This structural integrity makes it the perfect companion for bushcraft, wilderness survival, tactical applications, and emergency preparedness.
Equally impressive is the handle design. The 3D machined black and gray G-10 handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip that feels comfortable even during extended use. G-10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate renowned for its durability, moisture resistance, and reliability in harsh conditions. The 3D contouring improves hand retention, while the textured surface ensures a confident grip whether your hands are wet, muddy, or gloved. The combination of strength and comfort in this handle makes the ESEE 4 well-suited for both demanding work and precise cutting tasks.
With an overall length of 9 inches and a weight of 11 ounces, the ESEE 4 strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance. It is lightweight enough to carry comfortably on long treks, yet heavy-duty enough to handle serious survival tasks. Every detail of this knife has been engineered to provide users with the confidence that their blade will not fail when it’s needed most.
The ESEE 4 comes equipped with a black molded Kydex sheath, complete with a clip plate and mounting hardware for versatile carry options. Whether you prefer vertical, horizontal, or pack-mounted carry, the sheath is designed for quick access and dependable retention. Along with the sheath, ESEE includes extras such as bumper stickers and a Randall’s Adventure & Training survival card, underscoring their commitment to the survival community.
Proudly made in the USA, the ESEE 4 is backed by ESEE’s legendary no-questions-asked lifetime warranty. No receipt is required and no registration is necessary—if your knife ever fails, ESEE will replace it. This guarantee reflects the brand’s confidence in their products and their dedication to the people who rely on them.
The ESEE 4 Fixed Blade Knife features a 4.5-inch stonewashed S35VN stainless steel blade and a rugged 3D black and gray G-10 handle for ultimate performance.
