ESEE-5 3D Handle – 5.25″ 1095 Venom Green Plain Edge Drop Point Blade, Neon Green and Black 3D G-10 Handle – 5PVG-007

The ESEE-5 is a heavy-duty survival knife that ESEE says was designed by military SERE instructors as a downed pilot’s survival knife. This 3D Handle version pairs a 5.25″ Venom Green 1095 blade with contoured neon green and black G-10 handle scales and a black Kydex belt sheath.

1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for hard-use survival knives: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under heavy work. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. At 0.25″ thick with a saber grind, the blade keeps extra steel behind the edge for strength during chopping and other heavy tasks. Every ESEE-5 also has a sharpened glass breaker pommel and a bow drill divot in the handle for fire starting.

• Blade: 5.25″ 1095 carbon steel drop point, Venom Green finish, saber grind, plain edge, 0.25″ thick, 55-57 HRC. 11.00″ overall.
• Handle: 3D-contoured neon green and black G-10 for a secure, high-visibility grip, with a bow drill divot and a sharpened glass breaker pommel. 5.75″ handle length.
• Sheath: Black Kydex belt sheath included.
• Carry: 17.00 oz.

Ideal for: hard-use survival and preparedness buyers who want a thick, heavy-duty fixed blade; bushcrafters who want a bow drill divot built into the handle; and outdoor users who want a high-visibility knife that is easy to find.

Glass breaker: Laws on knives with glass breakers and similar tools vary. Check your local laws and use this tool lawfully.

Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The Venom 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 are the glass breaker pommel and bow drill divot for?

The sharpened pommel at the end of the handle is designed as a glass breaker. The divot in the handle can serve as a bearing block for a bow drill, a traditional friction method for starting a fire. Laws on knives with glass breakers vary, so check your local laws and use the tool lawfully.

Will the 1095 carbon steel blade rust?

It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs more care than stainless steels. The Venom 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.
