ESEE Knives
Since 1997 Randall's Adventure & Training has designed no-nonsense, affordable field knives specifically targeted to military, law enforcement, and the special operations community. Many of their knives now serve in combat zones around the globe. The knives have a "no questions asked" lifetime warranty. ESEE Knives is also setting the standard for many local, state and federal law enforcement officers when it comes to high performance, compact sheath knives with multiple carry options. The NTOA scored the 3-inch fixed blade a 4.77 out of a possible 5. In addition to knives, ESEE also offers survival, land navigation, tracking and other training courses along with free survival information.
This is the model that started it all. After designing the RAT-3 for Ontario Knife Company, it was the first design they brought over when ESEE Knives (Formerly RAT Cutlery) was formed. These knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel. And while 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for - especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH. The ESEE-3 is still a favorite amongst law enforcement and military teams due to its light weight, thin profile and various sheath options.
ESEE-3s are shipped with a sheath instruction sheet (below) and Survival Business Card.

This knife is my favorite out of all I have! my first fixed blade edc, the plastic clip plate broke after roughly a year so I ran Paracord through holes and can attach on a belt ambidextrously either upright or at a 45. I have put this knife through he** and back and it doesn't quit.

Thank You Knifecenter for Another Successful International Shipment
Firstly a round of applause for the Knifecenter Staff for another successful international shipment. The blade arrived with a strong smell of anti rust coating. The blade sharpness is not as sharp as a Spyderco out of the box, a little run on stone may help. The sheath system may be a bit overrated. Molle Lock fitting holes not accurately positioned. Not saying its a bad product, I really love the design. I will add further comments after I abuse it on the field.
