This ESEE-6HM model is equipped with a black finished blade and a modified handle design with gray micarta scales. The 6HM model offers a slimmer handle profile set up more for hunting and bushcraft applications with a custom leather belt sheath.
The ESEE-6 design represents a fine balance and fit that is light for its size. The Micarta handle feels at home in your hand, and the rounded pommel offers a hole for lanyard attachment. The 0.15" thick 1095 steel blade is fully flat ground. The ESEE-6 can serve as a primary wilderness survival knife or be fitted to your modular system for duty carry in a tactical environment.
ESEE Knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel. 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.
