ESEE-3 – 3.88″ 1095 Desert Tan Part Serrated Drop Point Blade, Tan Micarta Handle, Modified Pommel (No Box, Old Inventory) – ESEE-3SM-MB-DT-CO

This ESEE-3 is the modified-pommel version of ESEE’s compact survival and bushcraft knife, with a 3.88″ partially serrated 1095 carbon steel drop point in Desert Tan, tan Micarta scales, and an OD Green MOLLE-back sheath. It is new, unused old inventory sold without its original retail box.

The ESEE-3 is built to be light and easy to carry while still giving you a full grip for real work around camp, and this version finishes the handle with a modified pommel, bringing overall length to 8.19″. ESEE grinds the 0.125″ thick blade from 1095 carbon steel at 55-57 HRC, a tough, straightforward steel that takes a keen edge and is easy to touch up in the field. The plain section of the edge handles carving and food prep, and the serrations near the handle work through rope, webbing, and fibrous material. A Desert Tan coating cuts glare, tan Micarta gives a sure grip in wet weather, and the OD Green sheath’s MOLLE back mounts to webbing or a belt.

• Blade: 3.88″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, flat grind, partially serrated edge, Desert Tan coating, 0.125″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.19″ overall.
• Handle: Tan Micarta with a modified pommel, 4.31″ long.

Condition: New, unused old inventory. Sold without the original retail box.

Care: 1095 is not stainless. It may develop a patina where the coating wears, so keep the blade dry and lightly oiled.
