Product Description
The ESEE-3 3D Handle puts ESEE's compact survival and bushcraft knife on a 3.88" CPM S35VN stainless drop point with a stonewash finish and a 3D-contoured black G-10 handle, built for longer edge life and less upkeep than the standard 1095 ESEE-3.
The ESEE-3 is a no-frills fixed blade that's small enough to carry all day but large enough for a full, comfortable grip. This version swaps 1095 carbon steel for CPM S35VN at 59-60 HRC, a powder-metallurgy stainless steel that holds a working edge longer and resists rust far better, so it handles sweat, rain, and blood with less maintenance. The 0.125" stock and flat grind keep the blade slicing thin for processing game, making tinder, and food prep, and the stonewash finish hides scuffs. The 3D-contoured black G-10 scales add grip texture and give this ESEE-3 a clean, all-black look.
- Blade: 3.88" CPM S35VN stainless steel drop point, flat grind, plain edge, stonewash finish, 0.125" thick, 59-60 HRC. 8.19" overall.
- Handle: 3D-contoured black G-10, 4.31" long.
- Construction: Fixed blade, with no folding or locking mechanism.
- Carry: 6.00 oz. Includes an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
Ideal for: hunters who want a compact stainless blade for field dressing and game processing; hikers and campers who want a low-maintenance fixed blade for everyday carry; and ESEE fans adding a textured G-10, S35VN version of the ESEE-3.
