ESEE Model 5 Serrated OD-Green blade 5S-OD with kydex sheath+ belt clip

The ESEE Model 5 is a solid survival knife with a blade made from 1095 carbon steel. The extremely sustainable powder coating on the blade protects it from the increased corrosion sensitivity of the carbon steel. The wonderful usage qualities of the steel guarantee a lifetime of pleasure. The full tang blade is enhanced with a micarta handle. The handle feels slightly coarse which is great for grip and comfort. The ESEE Model 5 is a large and solid knife that can withstand extremely heavy use. If its size and weight might be a little too much the Model 4 or Model 3 are great smaller alternatives.

This is the partially serrated version. Just before the handle a 2.6 cm piece is enhanced with serrations. Perfect when cutting through high-fibre materials, such as rope.

The ergonomics are excellent. The handle is enhanced with a curve for your index finger. The handle is quite large. Also suitable for large hands. The top of the blade is enhanced with ridges for your thumb. As such you have more control over the knife. The back of the knife has a large hole for a lanyard. The tip functions as a glass breaker.

The handle contains a 'bow drill divot'. You use this bow drill divot to create a fire by quickly turning a wooden stick with the help of a bow on a wooden surface keeping slightly flammable material close. It is the most basic way of making a fire, but it could work surprisingly well. In each case you can say that with the Model 5 you will be ready for anything.
