The ESEE-3P-UC fixed blade knife features an uncoated 1095 steel blade with a stonewash finish and plain cutting edge. The handle has Micarta scales and a standard breaker pommel. The ESEE-3P-UC includes a coyote brown molded sheath with boot clip, paracord and cord lock (no MOLLE back). Carbon steel knives are preferred by those who want a shap, long-lasting edge. Our carbon steel knives are made from 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.
