Product Description
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.
- Carry: 6.00 oz.
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.

ESEE-3 3D Handle OD Green: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-3 3D Handle in OD Green with OD Green and black G-10 (3PMOD-003).
What kind of blade and sheath does the ESEE-3 3D Handle have?+
It is a fixed blade with a 3.88-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.13 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with an OD Green finish, a flat grind, and a plain edge. It comes with an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
What is included with the ESEE-3 3D Handle?+
The knife comes with its black polymer sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
Which ESEE-3 3D Handle colorway should I choose?+
All four share the same 3.88-inch 1095 blade, plain edge, 3D G-10 handle shape, and polymer sheath. Choose OD Green for a classic field look, or Dark Earth, 3PMDE-005, for another subdued option. For a high-visibility handle that is easier to spot in the field, the orange version, ESEE-3PMOR-006, and the Venom Green version, ESEE-3PMVG-007, are also available at Knifeworks.
How does the ESEE-3 compare to the ESEE-4?+
The ESEE-3 is the more compact option, with a 3.88-inch blade at 0.13 inch thick and a 6.00 oz weight, which makes it easy to carry every day. The ESEE-4 steps up to a 4.50-inch blade at 0.188 inch thick for heavier batoning and camp work. An ESEE-4 3D Handle with an OD Green blade and natural Micarta, ESEE-4POD-011, is also available at Knifeworks.
Will the 1095 carbon steel blade rust?+
It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs more care than stainless steels. The OD 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.
What warranty does the ESEE-3 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-3 is made in the USA.
