Product Description
The ESEE-6 is a full-size survival knife that balances size, weight, and heft: nimble enough for smaller tasks, with enough weight and edge length for bigger jobs. This version pairs a 6.50" black-coated 1095 drop-point blade with a partially serrated edge, gray Micarta handle scales, and an injection-molded Coyote Brown sheath.
1095 carbon steel is a classic choice for large 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, flat-ground blade handles chopping, batoning, and camp work, while the serrated section near the handle helps cut through cordage, webbing, and other tough materials. Hold the handle further back for more power when chopping, or choke up onto the finger choil for control during precise carving.
- Blade: 6.50" 1095 carbon steel drop point, black finish, flat grind, partially serrated edge, 0.19" thick, 55-57 HRC. 11.75" overall.
- Handle: Gray Micarta with a finger choil for a secure grip whether chopping or carving. 5.25" handle length.
- Sheath: Injection-molded Coyote Brown sheath included.
- Carry: 12.0 oz.
Ideal for: backcountry campers and hunters who want one full-size knife for chopping and detail work; survival and bushcraft trainees who need a large, tough fixed blade; and outdoor users who want serrations for rope and webbing on a long blade.
Care: 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless. The black finish helps protect the blade, but the edge and any worn areas can rust or patina. Keep the knife dry and lightly oiled.

ESEE-6 Partially Serrated: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the ESEE-6 with a partially serrated edge and gray Micarta (ESEE-6S).
What kind of blade and sheath does the ESEE-6 have?+
It is a fixed blade with a 6.50-inch 1095 carbon steel drop-point blade, 0.19 inch thick, hardened to 55-57 HRC, with a black finish, a flat grind, and a partially serrated edge. It comes with an injection-molded Coyote Brown sheath.
What is included with the ESEE-6?+
The knife comes with its injection-molded Coyote Brown sheath. Contents are subject to change by the manufacturer.
How do I use the ESEE-6 for both chopping and carving?+
For chopping, hold the handle further back to put more of the blade's weight into each swing. For precise carving and detail work, choke up and place your finger in the finger choil just behind the edge for added control.
How do I use and sharpen the partially serrated edge?+
The plain section toward the tip handles slicing, carving, and chopping, while the serrated section near the handle grips and saws through rope, cordage, and webbing. Sharpen the plain section as usual, and use a tapered ceramic rod or a sharpening system with corner edges for the serrations, working only the beveled side.
Will the 1095 carbon steel blade rust?+
It can. 1095 is carbon steel, not stainless, so it needs more care than stainless steels. The black 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-6 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-6 is made in the USA.
