The ESEE-4P fixed blade knife is a reliable and durable tool. It has gray linen Micarta scales and a black finished 1095 steel blade with a sharp cutting edge. The knife comes with a tan molded polymer sheath, paracord, and cord lock for easy carrying.
ESEE knives are crafted from high carbon 1095 steel, which is known for its strength and durability. However, it is important to note that 1095 steel can rust and stain if not properly maintained, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the responsibility of the user to keep the blade well-lubricated and clean. To prevent rust, ESEE Knives recommends using a dry film rust inhibitor like TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH.
