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 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, and the full plain edge makes sharpening simple. 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, plain 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 a compact, all-purpose fixed blade; ESEE-3 fans who prefer the modified pommel with a full plain edge; 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?

How is this different from other OD Green and orange ESEE-3 versions?
This version pairs a plain-edge blade and modified pommel with a black MOLLE-back sheath. The ESEE-3PM-OD is the same knife with a standard black sheath, the ESEE-3SM-MB-OD adds a partially serrated edge, and the ESEE-3P-MB-OD has the standard pommel.
How do I use the MOLLE back and care for this knife?
The MOLLE back lets you mount the sheath to webbing on packs and vests as well as a belt. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so wipe the knife dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it. The OD Green finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina if left wet.
