ESEE-3 – 3.88″ 1095 OD Green Part Serrated Drop Point Blade, Orange G-10 Handle, Modified Pommel – ESEE-3SM-MB-OD

The ESEE-3 is an all-purpose outdoor, bushcraft, and survival fixed blade, built to be tough while staying compact and lightweight. This version pairs a 3.88″ OD Green 1095 drop-point blade with a partially serrated edge, high-visibility orange G-10 handle scales with a modified pommel, 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, while the serrated section near the handle helps cut through rope, cordage, webbing, and other tough materials. The modified pommel gives the handle a distinct profile and a slightly shorter overall length than the standard ESEE-3, and the orange G-10 is easy to spot in the field.

• Blade: 3.88″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, OD Green finish, flat grind, partially serrated edge, 0.125″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.19″ overall.
• Handle: Orange G-10 with a modified pommel, for a secure, high-visibility grip. 4.31″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath with a MOLLE back.
• Carry: 5.2 oz, mounts on a belt, pack, or MOLLE gear.

Ideal for: bushcrafters and survival trainees who want serrations for rope and cordage on a compact fixed blade; ESEE-3 fans who prefer the modified pommel profile; and outdoor users who want a high-visibility handle with MOLLE-compatible mounting.

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

What is included with this ESEE-3?

How is the modified pommel different from the standard ESEE-3?

The modified pommel gives the handle a distinct profile and makes the knife slightly shorter: 8.19 inches overall with a 4.31-inch handle, compared with 8.31 inches and 4.43 inches on the standard-pommel ESEE-3. The blade is the same.

How is this different from other OD Green and orange ESEE-3 versions?

This version pairs a partially serrated blade and modified pommel with a black MOLLE-back sheath. The ESEE-3SM-OD is the same knife with a standard black sheath, the ESEE-3S-MB-OD has the standard pommel, and the ESEE-3PM-OD has a full plain edge with the modified pommel.

How do I use the MOLLE back, sharpen, and care for this knife?

The MOLLE back lets you mount the sheath to webbing on packs and vests as well as a belt. Sharpen the plain section as you would any plain edge, and use a tapered ceramic rod on the beveled side of the serrations. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so wipe the knife dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it.

What warranty does the ESEE-3 have, and where is it made?

ESEE describes its warranty as one of the most extensive available. Contact ESEE or visit eseeknives.com for current warranty terms and service. The ESEE-3 is made in the USA.
