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. This special S35VN model features a premium stainless steel blade and 3D machined G10 handle scales. The ESEE-3 is still a favorite amongst law enforcement and military teams due to its lightweight, thin profile and various sheath options.
ESEE-3s are shipped with a sheath instruction sheet (below) and Survival Business Card.

The best esee3
The best esee3. The others are good of course and i own 2 of them. This one was my 3rd and the blade material and handle material make it worth the increase price over the the normal 3. Blade was shaving sharp out of the box the slight swell in the scales fills your hand better than the flat micarta scales. The s35vn may not be as tough as the 1095 but in a blade this size thats a not issue imo for the increase in edge retention and weather resistance.

Perfect utility
Perfect utility blade for fishing and or around the property. I am not a huge fan of the sheath (personal preference) but there are plenty of aftermarket options and it is not a bad sheath.This knife sits with my outdoor gear and i would not hesitate to abuse it as much as i do my 3-500$ fixed blades. Somehow beefy and compact at the same time and razor sharp from the factory.
