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 full plain edge, high-visibility orange G-10 handle scales, and a black polymer sheath.
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 orange G-10 scales are durable, moisture resistant, and easy to spot if you set the knife down in the field.
- Blade: 3.88″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, OD Green finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.125″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.31″ overall.
- Handle: Orange G-10 for a secure, high-visibility grip. 4.43″ handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
- Carry: 5.2 oz.
Ideal for: bushcrafters and survival trainees who want a compact, all-purpose fixed blade; hunters who want a high-visibility handle that is easy to find; and outdoor users who prefer a full plain edge for slicing and carving.
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.
ESEE-3 OD Green and Orange, Plain Edge: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-3 with a plain-edge OD Green blade, orange G-10, and black sheath (ESEE-3P-OD).
What kind of blade and sheath does this ESEE-3 have?
It is a fixed blade with a 3.88-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.125 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with an OD Green finish, a flat grind, and a plain edge. It comes with an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
What is included with this ESEE-3?
The knife comes with its black polymer sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
Should I choose the plain edge or partially serrated version?
Choose this plain-edge version for clean slicing and simple sharpening along the full edge. Choose a partially serrated version if you often cut rope, cordage, or webbing.
What other versions come in this colorway?
The ESEE-3P-MB-OD has the same plain-edge OD Green blade and orange G-10 with a MOLLE-back sheath for pack and vest mounting, and the ESEE-3P-KO-OD is the same knife sold without a sheath.
Will the 1095 carbon steel blade rust?
It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs more care than stainless steels. The OD Green finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina if left wet. 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.
