ESEE 5S Fixed Blade Knife Partially Serrated Black Carbon Steel/Tan Micarta ESEE5S

The ESEE 5S Fixed Blade Knife with a partially serrated blade and tan Micarta handle is built for hard use when failure isn’t an option. Designed for survival, tactical deployment, and serious backcountry work, it delivers the strength and reliability professionals depend on.

At its core is a 5.25-inch drop point blade crafted from 1095 carbon steel. Known for its toughness and ease of field sharpening, 1095 holds up under punishing tasks and keeps working when lighter blades would give out. The partially serrated edge adds real-world versatility, biting through rope, webbing, and heavy fabric while leaving plenty of plain edge for controlled slicing and fine work. A black textured powder coat enhances corrosion resistance and cuts glare, giving the blade a durable, mission-ready finish.

The tan Micarta handle offers a secure, confident grip in wet, cold, or sweaty conditions. Its ergonomic contouring reduces fatigue during extended use, and the triple-rivet construction reinforces the full tang foundation. A hammer pommel adds impact capability for breaking glass or driving stakes, while the lanyard hole allows for retention options in demanding environments.

Measuring 11 inches overall and weighing 16 ounces, this knife has the heft to tackle serious cutting without feeling clumsy on your belt. A black Kydex sheath with a belt clip keeps it locked in place and ready for fast access when it counts.

Proudly made in the USA, it reflects ESEE’s reputation for uncompromising durability and field-proven performance.
