The ESEE Knives ESEE 4 Orange G-10 is a premium stainless steel evolution of one of the most legendary survival fixed blades ever engineered. Designed specifically for high-exposure field environments, this high-visibility edition combines low-maintenance powder metallurgy steel with bright orange handle scales to ensure your knife stays easy to spot if dropped in deep brush, snow, or muddy terrain. It is an ideal choice for hunters, bushcrafters, and outdoor guide crews who need an indestructible, corrosion-resistant field companion that won't easily get lost in the woods.
The 4.50-inch drop-point blade is forged from advanced CPM-S35VN stainless steel and heat-treated for elite edge retention and impact toughness. Because this high-grade alloy naturally resists rust, ESEE removed the standard friction-inducing powder coat and applied a rugged stonewash finish to create a significantly smoother slicing experience. The full flat grind and 0.1875-inch spine thickness provide exceptional structural rigidity for heavy batoning, game processing, and wood carving. The full-tang construction extends completely through the handle to form an exposed pommel, wrapped in layered, high-traction Orange G-10 scales that offer extreme resistance to moisture, temperature shifts, and chemical wear.
Built in the USA and backed by an industry-leading unconditional lifetime guarantee, this ESEE 4 S35VN fixed blade measures 9.00 inches overall length and weighs 8.0 ounces. The knife ships with an ambidextrous black molded polymer sheath complete with a heavy-duty stainless steel clip plate for secure multi-position carry on belts, packs, or MOLLE gear. Combining high-visibility safety with premium stainless performance, this drop-point field knife is built for demanding backcountry utility.
