Product Description
The ESEE-4 is one of ESEE's most popular survival knives, sized to handle heavy camp work while staying light enough for the trail. This version pairs a 4.50" Desert Tan 1095 drop-point blade with a partially serrated 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 0.188" thick blade stock stands up to batoning, while the tall flat grind keeps the plain section thin enough for clean slicing. The serrated section near the handle helps cut through rope, cordage, webbing, and other tough materials, and the tan Micarta scales grip well in the hand.
- Blade: 4.50" 1095 carbon steel drop point, Desert Tan finish, tall flat grind, partially serrated edge, 0.188" 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 that handles both slicing and rope work; bushcrafters and preppers who want serrations on a tough survival blade; 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.

ESEE-4 Desert Tan, Partially Serrated, OD Green Sheath: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-4 with a partially serrated Desert Tan blade, tan Micarta, and OD Green sheath (ESEE-4S-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, 0.188 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with a Desert Tan finish, a tall flat grind, and a partially serrated 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 partially serrated or plain edge?＋
Choose this partially serrated version if you often cut rope, cordage, or webbing, where the serrations grip and saw through fibers. Choose a plain edge if you want clean slicing along the full edge and simpler sharpening.
How is this different from other ESEE-4 versions?＋
All ESEE-4 models share the same 4.50-inch 1095 blade and tall flat grind. The ESEE-4S-MB-DT has this same knife with a MOLLE-back sheath for pack and vest mounting, 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-3S-DT. 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 Desert Tan finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina if left wet.
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.
