ESEE Knives: ESEE-5P-OD-E Knife, Olive Drab Blade, Black Molded Sheath, ESEE-5PODE
The ESEE-5 is a big brother of the iconic ESEE-3 that was designed by SERE instructors for use as a survival knife for downed pilots. The ESEE-5P-OD-E features a 5.25 inch drop point fixed blade made of 1095 carbon steel, with a maximum thickness of .25 inch, a Rockwell hardness of 55-57, a saber grind, a notched thumb rest for secure grip, the ESEE logo and a non reflective Olive Drab textured powder coat finish. The ESEE-5 has full tang construction for strength; canvas Micarta scales with bow drill divot, and an extended glass breaker pommel with integral lanyard hole. A black molded sheath with clip plate is included. The ESEE-5 Knife has an overall length of 11.0 inches, and it weighs 16.0 ounces without 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.
