ESEE-3 3D Handle – 3.88″ 1095 OD Green Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, OD Green and Black G-10 Handle – 3PMOD-003

The ESEE-3 is an all-purpose outdoor, bushcraft, and survival fixed blade, built to be tough while staying compact and lightweight. This 3D Handle version pairs a 3.88″ OD Green 1095 drop-point blade with contoured OD Green and black G-10 scales and a black polymer sheath, for a classic, field-ready look.

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 0.13″ thick, flat-ground blade slices thin for processing game and making tinder, and the full plain edge makes sharpening simple. The 3D handle uses contoured G-10 scales shaped to fill the hand for a secure, ergonomic grip.

• Blade: 3.88″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, OD Green finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.13″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.19″ overall.
• Handle: 3D-contoured OD Green and black G-10 for a secure, ergonomic grip. 4.375″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.

Ideal for: bushcrafters and survival trainees who want a compact, all-purpose fixed blade; hunters who process game and prefer a muted colorway; and outdoor users who want a classic OD Green field look over bright colors.

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.
