ESEE-4P-B Specifications

ESEE-4P-B vs. ESEE-4 with MOLLE Sheath

The ESEE-4P-B uses the same basic ESEE-4 knife design found in other 1095 carbon steel configurations. The primary difference between these packages is the included sheath and mounting hardware.

The ESEE-4P-B features a black blade and black molded sheath without an included MOLLE back.

ESEE also offers versions with a MOLLE-compatible sheath system for attachment to compatible packs and load-bearing equipment.

If you need MOLLE mounting, consider a version that includes the required hardware. If you prefer the black blade and black sheath configuration without the MOLLE back, the ESEE-4P-B is the appropriate model.
