ESEE Knives Model 3 ESEE-3P-DT – Desert Tan Powder Coated 1095 Carbon Steel Drop Point Blade & Tan Micarta Handle Scales over Full-Tang – OD Green Injection-Molded Sheath | Made in USA

If you’re looking for a USA-made full-tang fixed blade to take with you on your excursions into the wilderness, you really shouldn’t look any further than ESEE Knives. Since 1997, ESEE founders Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin have made it their mission to make high-quality survival gear readily available to the everyday consumer. At this point, we can comfortably say that they have succeeded. We’ve quickly noticed that every ESEE knife that has come across our store was made with a high level of attention to detail.

The ESEE model 3 fixed blade is one of the most reliable all-purpose bushcrafting knives available. In a smaller package than it’s well-known ESEE 4 cousin, the 3 has a 3.88” blade with all of the same durability and reliability that comes with any ESEE knife. Full-tang and coming with impeccable design cues all over, the 3 feels incredible in hand and you can just feel the potential of this guy. Jimping on the spine of the blade and an enlarged finger choil make it a super versatile outdoor fixed blade. An injection-molded sheath and a pommel with a lanyard hole make it a go-to everyday carry fixer.

One of our favorite things about ESEE Knives is the wide variety of blade/handle/sheath color and material combinations they have to offer for each model. One of our favorite color combos on the ESEE fixed blades, this guy comes all decked-out in a Desert Tan finish. From the powder coated blade to the micarta handle scales, everything about this knife makes you feel like a dust bowl warrior. The included injection-molded sheath is finished OD green.
