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.

As Described
KnifeCenter was reliable, accurate, and quick to ship.
Product arrived as described and sharp. The sheath comes with more retention than you'll likely need, but there is no lack of alternative options available. Knife is not a delicate slicer but performs within its role excellently. For those who like to strip the coating off the blade, ESEEs take more elbow grease than some other similar blade treatments from other brands in my experience.

Strong knife for tough problems.
I loved the esee 5 but needed something a bit smaller for everyday work. So I got the esee 3 and wasn’t disappointed. I carved several triggers for traps and cut 550 cord like butter. It’s nimble enough to strip bark in long ribbons for natural cordage but strong enough to work larger branches into kindling. It’s a great knife for the yard or in the woods at your camp site.
