Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maintain the 1095 carbon steel blade?
Keep the blade properly lubricated and cleaned after use. ESEE recommends using a dry film rust inhibitor on the blade. The 1095 carbon steel will rust and stain if not maintained, especially around the cutting edge and laser engraving.
What attachment options does the Kydex sheath provide?
The black Kydex sheath includes a clip plate for belt carry or MOLLE system attachment. Use Loctite when assembling the clip plate hardware for secure mounting.
What is the ESEE warranty coverage?
ESEE provides a 100% unconditional lifetime guarantee. If your ESEE knife breaks, they will repair or replace it. This warranty follows the knife throughout its life, anywhere in the world.
How does the serrated edge perform compared to a plain edge?
The serrated edge excels at cutting fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and cord. It maintains cutting ability longer on these materials but requires different sharpening techniques than a plain edge.
What is the bow drill divot used for?
The handle features a divot designed for bow drill fire-starting techniques. This allows the knife to serve as a fireboard anchor point in survival situations.
