The ESEE-3MIL is a version of the all-purpose ESEE-3 that adds a glass breaker to the handle and a MOLLE-back sheath. This model pairs a 3.88″ black-coated 1095 drop-point blade with a full plain edge, tan Micarta handle scales, and a black polymer sheath with a MOLLE back.
1095 carbon steel is a classic outdoor steel: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and dependable under hard use. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The 0.125″ thick, flat-ground blade slices thin for processing game and making tinder, and the full plain edge makes sharpening simple. The tan Micarta scales have a warm, textured feel that grips well in the hand, and the integrated glass breaker sits at the end of the handle.
- Blade: 3.88″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, black finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.125″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.31″ overall.
- Handle: Tan Micarta with an integrated glass breaker. 4.43″ handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath with a MOLLE back.
- Carry: 9.3 oz, mounts on a belt, pack, or MOLLE gear.
Ideal for: outdoor users who want a glass breaker built into a compact fixed blade; bushcrafters and hunters who prefer a full plain edge for slicing and carving; and buyers who want a low-profile black sheath with MOLLE-compatible mounting.
Glass breaker: Laws on knives with glass breakers and similar tools vary. Check your local laws and use this tool lawfully.
Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.
