## Overview

The ESEE 5P Tactical Survival Knife is a professional-grade fixed blade crafted from full tang 1095 high carbon steel with a 5.25-inch black powder-coated blade. Designed by military SERE instructors, it features a durable Micarta handle with jimping for enhanced grip and a glass breaker pommel. The knife comes with a robust Kydex sheath with a secure locking clip, making it an essential tool for survival, bushcraft, and emergency preparedness.

## Description

The ESEE-5 is a knife that can handle even the roughest survival situations. Designed By Military SERE Instructors as a hard-use downed pilot's essential survival knife. The ESEE-5 is a full tang 1095 high carbon steel construction with a black powder coated flat ground 5.25" blade. This blade features jimping on the spine for increased thumb grip. The Handle is made out of tan Micarta canvas, and features a glass breaker on the pommel. Includes a durable polymer molded sheath with removable clip. Carbon steel knives are preferred by those who want a sharp, long-lasting edge. With use, a carbon steel blade will develop a distinctive dark finish. This is not a defect, but a natural result of the use of high-carbon steel. Carbon steel blades are not dishwasher safe, never let them sit in water for a long time, but rather hand-wash and dry your knives to avoid rusting.

Review: Why I chose this knife - So I spent a long time looking at knives. My main purpose for this knife was for disaster survival for a period of up to 1 month. I figure, if help doesn't come in 1 month, then I'm toast anyway. I don't have much experience with knives, nor with surviving in the wilderness, but I did a bunch of reading online - okay roll your eyes now. I received the knife very quickly and am very impressed with it. It seems very well made, with good grips and a great sheath. Sheath also has a nice locking tab, and nice, offset belt-clip. Just slide it in, click, and it's done. No need to fasten straps. No finger choil, but I've got smaller knives I can use for detailed stuff. So obviously there's a ton of recirculated stuff on this subject going around out there. Some say it's too thick. I wanted the thickest knife I could find that was still useful as a knife. Why? I've heard you can use a knife to embed into a tree and use as a step to get to higher branches. This seems possible to me and would be a very useful thing in a survival situation (coyotes around and family needing to spend a night in the woods/up in a tree). In this situation, you want the strongest knife around. 1/4" thickness - check. Also I've heard of someone using a knife to pop open a car door (they were an emergency responder at a car accident site, and it was the only thing they had, and it worked) - again, you would need the strongest blade you have. Obviously a crowbar or something else would suit better, but in a survival situation, you've got to make-do. I do understand these situations are very rare, but it's a survival knife. I also looked around my neighborhood, and it's conceivable I would need to break into a building (for shelter, screams from within, etc.) and it occurs to me this knife's thickness would also be helpful for that. It also has a butt-spike which can break glass more easily. Again, rare situations in most cases. Some say it's too crude to do slicing. It may be, but I also have a Morakniv and a couple of good stainless folders (RAT I and RAT II), so I should be good for the smaller camp-type needs. These blades are also stainless, so this covers the next issue ... Some talk about it rusting. So it can rust fairly easily is what I've read. It seems like a rusted blade doesn't really affect anything you are likely to use this knife for. You probably won't use it to eat, and the rust isn't going to destroy the blade in a short period of time (like in a survival situation of up to a month). I don't plan on living in the wilderness for years with just this knife, so I am not really bothered by the rusting issue. In a survival situation, you may not have your Tuff-Cloth with you, so you would need to just live with this. It's also usable for batoning. I guess I can see the need to baton wood, and as long as this is capable of this, I'm okay. Is it as good as a bowie knife or axe? Probably no, but it's a survival knife. I also considered the Becker BK22, which is a fine choice as well. I wanted a nice sheath, and liked the design of this sheath, and if you factor in the cost of the BK22 and a kydex sheath, then it's about the same. Plus, I don't need to modify the grips on the ESEE. I've read that the BK22 is a better chopper due to the curve on the butt of the grip, but the ESEE 5 is probably okay if you use the lanyard for an additional tethering for a long grip. Again, it's probably not the BEST, but okay for this role. I considered the Fallkniven A1, and it's a superfine knife from the looks of it. I didn't like having to deal with a convex curve to the blade, and for that reason I didn't choose it. It would be nice to have a stainless blade, though. So, those were the main reasons I chose this knife. I am very happy with the choice so far. Again, I've no experience in these things, so take all I've said above with that in mind. If I was using it for camping mostly, then it seems like the ESEE-6 is the better choice for that role due to it being longer and flatter.
Review: Solid knife, good value/quality - Update - the ESEE-5 is the better buy than the Becker BK-2, IF you plan to level the playing field by getting the Becker Micarta scales, and modifying the Becker (at least old version) Kydex sheath, by adding a Tek-Lok and getting rid of the ridiculous huge floppy nylon belt loop. Out of the box, the ESEE-5 provides the better experience and simply handles with more agility than the BK-2. Keep in mind I am talking about using the knife as a knife -- not as a pry bar, nor as a hammering wedge to split wood (batoning), although no doubt both knives could perform this dubiously appropriate task with similar results. Bottom line, ESEE 5 is a solid, satisfying knife that provides a great out-of-the box experience with no upgrades or tweaks required. If you are OK with the basic Grivory/plastic scales on the BK2 and the sheath limitations, then go that route if price alone is your only concern. Compared to the similar Becker BK-2, the experience in hand with the ESEE 5 is significantly better. Better balance, handling, and better OEM canvas Micarta scales. Superior handling to the BK-2 with the Becker after-market Micarta scales. Pluses for the ESEE 5: Better grip and handling, slightly better sheath, jimping on blade that BK-2 does not have (this is a significant difference). Pluses for BK-2: Cheaper. Default plastic/Kydex sheath is fully acceptable once the nylon belt loop is cut off and replaced with a Tek-Lok. Bottom line: The ESEE-5 is the better knife. Buy the BK-2 if price is your only consideration. That is not to suggest the BK-2 is an inferior knife; the ESEE-5 is just better, although you get what you pay for.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If you bought this knife again, would you get the partially serrated blade, or stay with the plain blade?**
A: I bought the partially serrated version since it is tactical/survival. Esee says to sharpen it just like the plain edge version, hence, there is no issue with sharpening the blade.

**Q: where is it made**
A: ESEE is made in Idaho, USA. When buying ESEE knives, make sure you buy off an authorized ESEE dealer to avoid counterfeits.

**Q: Can this be used as a tactical knife?**
A: The ESEE 5 has a very thick blade, which makes it a heavy knife.  I've found it's too heavy to hang on my belt, without wearing suspenders under your vest, so most people put it on on the outside of their pack, fasten it to their vest, or hang it Sam Browne style from a cross strap if they're going without a vest.  The ESEE 6 and ESEE 4 are lighter knives, though the same basic design and extremely high quality, and can be hung from the belt without pulling your pants down.

But to answer your question, any knife in excess of about 3 inches can be used as a "tactical" knife.  Most people who are looking for "tactical" stuff are actually wanna-be's with more of airsoft experience than field experience, and are actually looking for "tacti-cool," or the "Crocodile Dundee" look, which I suppose the 5 would fulfill.  For actual practical tactical use, I would suggest using a lighter knife like the 6 or 4 inch ESEE.  My preference would be the 4.  The 6 is really long and rubs against other equipment or your thigh, or gets in the way of other stuff you hang on your gun belt or vest.  That's okay for an afternoon of pretend shoot-outs with friends, but day after day it's really irritating.  It's barely tolerable until the bullets started flying and you have to "go to ground" in a big hurry and got poked in the ribs by the grip of the overly-long 6.

Choose your equipment carefully.  Know your limits and the limits of yourself and your equipment.  Admit your mistakes in equipment choices, and learn from your mistakes.  "If you know yourself and your enemy, you cannot lose in a hundred battles.  If you know yourself but not your enemy, you will lose half your battles." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

**Q: Will it be exactly how it looks in the image?  With the skull logo on the blade?**
A: Yes that’s company logo, the coating will wear down over time and so will the logo

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife!!!
*by D***E on April 6, 2018*

I can’t say enough good things about this knife. I am so glad I purchased the ESEE5! Very nice edge out of the box. Well balanced. The handle fits perfectly in my hand (I wear an XL glove). I’ve read a lot of reviews saying this isn’t a bushcraft knife or its not a tactical knife.... what kind of knife is it? It is a BEAST! And I say it can be used for bushcraft or tactical EDC. Thick, heavy indestructible blade! Comes with the best sheath you can buy. -my knife came missing a screw for the belt clip...contacted the manufacturer and had a new screw sent to me within the week.
