The ESEE-3PMB-002 has full tang construction for strength, updated gray/black 3D G10 scales for comfort and secure purchase, and an extended pommel with integral lanyard hole. A black molded sheath with clip plate is included. The ESEE-3 Knife has an overall length of 8.19 inches, and it weighs 6 ounces; 9 ounces with the sheath. Made in the USA.
From the ESEE website regarding 1095 steel: ESEE knives made from high carbon 1095 steel 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 on the blade. Use Lock Tite when assembling any hardware such as attaching the clip plate to the sheath.
