ESEE-4 – 4.50″ 1095 Tactical Gray Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Black G-10 Handle – ESEE-4P-TG-B

The ESEE-4 is an all-around survival, bushcraft, and outdoor fixed blade designed by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin. This version pairs a 4.50″ Tactical Gray 1095 drop-point blade with black G-10 handle scales and a black polymer sheath.

1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for survival knives: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under hard use. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The 0.188″ thick blade stock stands up to batoning, while the tall flat grind keeps the edge thin enough for clean slicing in camp and when processing game. ESEE knives are used at Randall’s Adventure & Training jungle survival school and by outdoor users around the world, and the black G-10 scales are durable and moisture resistant.

• Blade: 4.50″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, Tactical Gray finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.188″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 9.00″ overall.
• Handle: Black G-10 for a secure, durable grip. 4.50″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
• Carry: 8.00 oz.

Ideal for: outdoorsmen and campers who want a mid-size knife for batoning and slicing; bushcraft and survival students who want a proven training-school design; and buyers who want a subdued gray and black look.

Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The Tactical Gray finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.
