Product Description
This ESEE-4 upgrades ESEE's go-to survival and bushcraft knife to a 4.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel drop point with a stonewash finish, paired with a high-visibility orange G-10 handle and a black molded sheath.
Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin designed the ESEE-4 as an all-around survival, bushcraft, and tactical knife, and ESEE notes it has been used by military, law enforcement, and adventurers, including at Randall's Adventure & Training jungle survival school. This version swaps ESEE's standard 1095 carbon steel for CPM S35VN at 59-60 HRC, a powder-metallurgy stainless steel that holds an edge longer than 1095 and resists corrosion far better, so it needs less upkeep in wet or humid conditions. The 0.188" stock and flat grind keep the ESEE-4's balance of strength and slicing, and the stonewash finish hides wear. The orange G-10 handle is grippy and easy to spot when set down outdoors.
- Blade: 4.5" CPM S35VN stainless steel drop point, flat grind, plain edge, stonewash finish, 0.188" thick, 59-60 HRC. 9.0" overall.
- Handle: Orange G-10, 4.5" long, high visibility with a secure grip.
- Construction: Fixed blade, with no folding or locking mechanism.
- Carry: 8.0 oz. Includes an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
Ideal for: ESEE-4 fans who want stainless steel and longer edge retention; hunters, anglers, and paddlers who work around water and want less rust maintenance; and outdoorsmen who want a high-visibility handle that's easy to find in the field.

ESEE-4 CPM S35VN, Orange G-10: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-4 in CPM S35VN with an orange G-10 handle (ESEE-4P35V-OR).
What type of blade and sheath does the ESEE-4 (ESEE-4P35V-OR) have?＋
The ESEE-4P35V-OR has a 4.5" drop-point blade in CPM S35VN stainless steel at 59-60 HRC, flat ground with a plain edge and a stonewash finish. It carries in an injection-molded black polymer sheath.
How does the CPM S35VN ESEE-4 compare to the 1095 ESEE-4?＋
The 1095 versions, such as the ESEE-4P-MB-B and ESEE-4S-OD, use a carbon steel that is easy to sharpen but needs regular oiling to prevent rust. CPM S35VN is a stainless powder steel run harder at 59-60 HRC, so it holds an edge longer and resists corrosion much better, with less upkeep around water. It is not rustproof, so it still benefits from being wiped dry after use.
