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. 

The ESEE-5 was designed by military SERE instructors as a hard-use downed pilot’s survival knife. With its 0.25" blade thickness, it's a big fixed blade that's tough, durable and practical. 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 handles have Micarta scales that are durable and water resistant. The knife also features spine jimping, full tang construction, lanyard hole, and a glass breaker. The knife comes with a Kydex sheath, clip plate, paracord lanyard, and cord lock.

I love this knife!
It feels absolutely great in my large hands. A perfectly balanced and weighted fixed blade. Before purchasing it, I watched and read numerous reviews of bushcraft knives. This ESEE-5P knife (and its bigger brother, the ESEE 6) always stood-out to me. I wanted a fixed blade greater than 5" (check). I wanted full tang construction (check). I wanted thumb jimping (check). I wanted a useful multi-purpose pommel (check). I refused to pay more than $199 (check). I also like the scaled Micarta handles for its grip. Admittedly, the bow-drill divot will probably never get any use from me, but it's nice to know it's there, just in case. It's simplicity, elegant design, sharpening ease, and price sold it for me. The included sheath is sturdy and holds the blade nicely; although, with a slight bit of blade wobble. I suspect I'll probably cave in the future and buy another ESEE knife to pair with this beauty.

Great knife!
I bought this as a second SHTF knife; the original is a Becker BK2, with a scout draw sheath from Hedgehog. The ESEE is a much better knife (to me), more than justifying the increased cost. I'm waiting for another Hedgehog sheath...the one that comes with the knife is fine but I prefer a leather sheath. Count me as a fan of the ESEE knives. 1095 steel means it will be easier to sharpen though it will require more care.
