ESEE 4

The ESEE-4 Fixed Blade is one of the most popular ESEE knives ever made and is the benchmark for hard-use fixed blade knives in the survival and fieldcraft world.. With its 3/16″ thickness, it’s the perfect blend between toughness and cutting efficiency all in a small package.

The ESEE-4  “wilderness” model of the popular ESEE-3 tactical knife with a longer, thicker blade. The 1095 steel blade is 4.5″ long with a full flat grind. The handle has removable Micarta scales and a rounded pommel with a hole for lanyard attachment.

The geometry of the ESEE-4 drop point design makes it an excellent all-purpose knife. The large belly area makes it perfect for slicing. The lowered point in relation to the spine (hence the term “drop point”) dissipates energy as the cutting stroke approaches the point. This gives the user more control over the tip, which is very important during skinning and other survival tasks. The drop point also adds strength to the tip, and the thicker flat spine makes this knife excellent for batoning. The blade features a large choil that make sharpening and reconditioning the cutting edge much easier that a blade with a small or nonexistent choil.
