ESEE-4 – 4.50″ 1095 OD Green Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Orange G-10 Handle – ESEE-4P-OD

The ESEE-4 is an all-around survival, bushcraft, and outdoor fixed blade designed by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin. This version pairs a 4.50″ OD Green 1095 drop-point blade with high-visibility orange G-10 handle scales and a black polymer sheath.

1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for survival knives: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under hard use. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The 0.188″ thick blade stock stands up to batoning, while the tall flat grind keeps the edge thin enough for clean slicing in camp and when processing game. ESEE knives are used at Randall’s Adventure & Training jungle survival school and by outdoor users around the world, and the orange handle makes this one easy to spot if you set it down in the field.

• Blade: 4.50″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, OD Green finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.188″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 9.00″ overall.
• Handle: Orange G-10 for a secure, high-visibility grip. 4.50″ handle length.
• Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
• Carry: 8.00 oz.

Ideal for: outdoorsmen and campers who want a mid-size knife for batoning and slicing; bushcraft and survival students who want a proven training-school design; and collectors of hard-use ESEE knives.

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.
