Explore the pinnacle of hard-use downed pilot's survival knives with the ESEE-5, meticulously crafted with insights from military SERE instructors. Engineered for durability and practicality, this substantial fixed blade boasts a robust 0.25" blade thickness. Constructed from high carbon 1095 steel, a preferred choice for cutlery subjected to rigorous use, it demands conscientious maintenance to prevent rust and staining, particularly around the cutting edge and laser engraving. Users are urged to ensure blades stay well-lubricated and cleaned, with recommended solutions like TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH providing effective rust inhibition.
 
The ESEE-5's ergonomic design is elevated by 3D machined G10 handles, offering an enhanced grip compared to traditional slab Micarta scales. Notable features include spine jimping, full tang construction, a lanyard hole, and a glass breaker, accentuating its versatility. The knife is accompanied by a Kydex sheath, clip plate, paracord lanyard, and cord lock, enhancing its utility.
