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 version pairs a 3.88" OD Green 1095 drop-point blade with a partially serrated edge, high-visibility orange G-10 handle scales with a modified pommel, and a black polymer sheath.
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 0.125" thick, flat-ground blade slices thin for processing game and making tinder, while the serrated section near the handle helps cut through rope, cordage, webbing, and other tough materials. The modified pommel gives the handle a distinct profile and a slightly shorter overall length than the standard ESEE-3, and the orange G-10 is easy to spot in the field.
- Blade: 3.88" 1095 carbon steel drop point, OD Green finish, flat grind, partially serrated edge, 0.125" thick, 55-57 HRC. 8.19" overall.
- Handle: Orange G-10 with a modified pommel, for a secure, high-visibility grip. 4.31" handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded black polymer sheath included.
- Carry: 5.2 oz.
Ideal for: bushcrafters and survival trainees who want serrations for rope and cordage on a compact fixed blade; hunters who want a high-visibility handle that is easy to find; and ESEE-3 fans who prefer the modified pommel profile.
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 Modified Pommel, OD Green and Orange, Partially Serrated: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-3 with a modified pommel, partially serrated OD Green blade, orange G-10, and black sheath (ESEE-3SM-OD).
What kind of blade and sheath does this ESEE-3 have?＋
It is a fixed blade with a 3.88-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.125 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with an OD Green finish, a flat grind, and a partially serrated edge. It comes with an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
What is included with this ESEE-3?＋
The knife comes with its black polymer sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
How is the modified pommel different from the standard ESEE-3?＋
The modified pommel gives the handle a distinct profile and makes the knife slightly shorter: 8.19 inches overall with a 4.31-inch handle, compared with 8.31 inches and 4.43 inches on the standard-pommel ESEE-3. The blade is the same.
How is this different from other OD Green and orange ESEE-3 versions?＋
This version pairs a partially serrated blade and modified pommel with a black sheath. The ESEE-3SM-MB-OD-CO has the same blade and modified pommel with a MOLLE-back sheath, and the ESEE-3S-MB-OD-CO has the standard pommel. For a full plain edge with a modified pommel and orange G-10, the ESEE-3PM-VG pairs it with a Venom Green blade. All are available at Knifeworks.
How do I sharpen and care for this knife?＋
Sharpen the plain section as you would any plain edge, and use a tapered ceramic rod on the beveled side of the serrations. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so wipe the knife dry after use and keep a light coat of oil on it. The OD Green finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina if left wet.
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.
