After noting improvements offered to us by soldiers and cops in the field, we took the popular Ontario/RAT RAT-3, added 3/8 of handle length, a glass-breaking pommel, larger handle screws, then differentially heat-treated the 1095 carbon steel and dressed up the Micarta slabs to build the ESEE 3. We then coupled this improved model with a sheath system that can be carried in just about any configuration for the perfect, lightweight carry knife. The ESEE-3 features a substantial upgrade in overall fit and finish, Orange G-10 slab handles and a Super Tuff black Venom Green powder coat on the steel. Overall length: 8 5/16 Blade length: 3 3/8 Maximum thickness: 1/8 Black Sheath w/ spring steel clip plate
