ESEE-4, OD Green Micarta Handle, Desert Tan Blade, Combo

ESEE Knives, formerly RAT Cutlery, manufactures several excellent survival knives. This company has only been around since 1997 but they are making a huge impact in the knife world. Using superior materials and keeping a close eye on function has made these knives a favorite to many outdoorsmen. Their customer service is second to none.

ESEE-4, Orange G-10 Handle, OD Green Plain Blade

I personally like the ESEE-4 with the orange handle and the dark green blade. You may think my taste in colors a bit strange but if you drop this knife in a heavily wooded area you’ll be able to find it immediately. They also make a tan version and a black and gray version, excellent knives but could be difficult to find if you dropped it. With the price of good knives these days I wouldn’t want to take the chance of losing it.

ESEE-4, Linen Micarta Handle, Black Plain Blade

The Linen Micarta knife with the black blade also comes in a clip point style with a sharpened back edge. Many of ESEE’s knives come with plain or serrated blades so be careful when you purchase yours that you get the right one. There are codes that define the color and the blade type when you order them.
