Product Description
The ESEE-4 is an all-around survival, bushcraft, and outdoor fixed blade designed by Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin. This version pairs a 4.50" Desert Tan 1095 drop-point blade with a full plain edge, tan Micarta handle scales, and an OD Green polymer sheath.
1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for survival knives: tough, easy to sharpen in the field, and forgiving under hard use. ESEE runs it at 55-57 HRC. The 0.19" thick blade stock stands up to batoning, while the tall flat grind keeps the edge thin enough for clean slicing in camp and when processing game. ESEE knives are used at Randall's Adventure & Training jungle survival school and by outdoor users around the world.
- Blade: 4.50" 1095 carbon steel drop point, Desert Tan finish, tall flat grind, plain edge, 0.19" thick, 55-57 HRC. 9.00" overall.
- Handle: Tan Micarta for a secure, natural grip. 4.50" handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded OD Green polymer sheath included.
- Carry: 8.00 oz.
Ideal for: hunters and campers who want a mid-size knife for batoning and slicing; bushcrafters who prefer a full plain edge for carving; and buyers who want a matched Desert Tan and tan colorway.
Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The Desert Tan finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.
Order the ESEE-4 (ESEE-4P-DT) from Knifeworks, an authorized ESEE dealer, with same or next business day shipping from Columbia, Louisiana.
ESEE-4 Desert Tan, Plain Edge: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-4 with a plain-edge Desert Tan blade, tan Micarta, and OD Green sheath (ESEE-4P-DT).
What kind of blade and sheath does this ESEE-4 have?＋
It is a fixed blade with a 4.50-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.19 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with a Desert Tan finish, a tall flat grind, and a plain edge. It comes with an injection-molded OD Green polymer sheath.
What is included with this ESEE-4?＋
The knife comes with its OD Green polymer sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
Should I choose a plain or partially serrated edge?＋
Choose this plain-edge version for clean slicing, carving, and simple sharpening along the full edge. Choose a partially serrated version if you often cut rope, cordage, or webbing. The ESEE-4S-DT has the same Desert Tan blade and tan Micarta with a partially serrated edge, and it is also available at Knifeworks.
What other Desert Tan ESEE-4 versions are available?＋
The ESEE-4S-MB-DT pairs a partially serrated Desert Tan blade with a MOLLE-back sheath, and the ESEE-4 3D Handle in Desert Tan, ESEE-4PDT-005, uses contoured G-10 scales. For a smaller knife in this colorway, choose the ESEE-3P-DT. All are 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 Desert Tan 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-4 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-4 is made in the USA.
