ESEE-4HM – 4.38″ 1095 Black Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Tan Micarta Handle, Leather Sheath – ESEE-4HM-B

The ESEE-4HM is a classic-styled take on ESEE’s popular ESEE-4. It pairs a 4.38″ black-coated 1095 drop-point blade with tan canvas Micarta scales in a traditional, rounded handle profile with a smooth rounded pommel, plus a genuine brown leather belt sheath.

1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for outdoor knives: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under hard use. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The 0.188″ thick, flat-ground blade has a simple plain edge for camp work, food prep, and processing game. The rounded canvas Micarta handle and smooth pommel give a comfortable, traditional grip, and the leather sheath rides on a belt loop for classic carry. The HM uses its own handle shape and sheath, so confirm fit before swapping in a sheath made for the standard ESEE-4.

• Blade: 4.38″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, black finish, flat grind, plain edge, 0.188″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.88″ overall.
• Handle: Tan canvas Micarta with a classic rounded profile and smooth rounded pommel. 4.50″ handle length.
• Sheath: Genuine brown leather sheath with a belt loop.
• Carry: 7.70 oz.

Ideal for: hunters and campers who prefer a traditional leather sheath; outdoor users who want the ESEE-4’s size in a classic, rounded handle; and collectors who like heritage-styled fixed blades.

Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled, and let the leather sheath dry fully before storing the knife in it.

ESEE-4HM: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-4HM with a black blade, tan canvas Micarta, and leather sheath (ESEE-4HM-B).

What kind of blade and sheath does the ESEE-4HM have?

What is included with the ESEE-4HM?

The knife comes with its brown leather sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.

How is the ESEE-4HM different from the standard ESEE-4?

The ESEE-4HM has a classic rounded canvas Micarta handle with a smooth rounded pommel, a slightly shorter 4.38-inch blade, and a leather sheath. The standard ESEE-4 has a 4.50-inch blade, a different handle shape, and a molded polymer sheath. Because the handles differ, confirm fit before using a sheath made for the standard ESEE-4 with the HM.

Who designed the ESEE-4?

How do I care for the 1095 blade and leather sheath?

1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina, so wipe the knife dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it. If the leather sheath gets wet, let it dry naturally away from direct heat before storing the knife in it, and treat it occasionally with a leather conditioner.

What warranty does the ESEE-4HM 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-4HM is made in the USA.
