The ESEE-3P-DT fixed blade knife features a desert tan finished 1095 steel blade with a plain cutting edge, canvas Micarta scales and a standard breaker pommel. The ESEE-3P-DT includes a foliage green molded polymer sheath, boot clip, paracord and cord lock (no MOLLE back). ESEE knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel. And while 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. ESEE Knives suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH. Carbon steel knives are preferred by those who want a sharp, long-lasting edge. With use, a carbon steel blade will develop a distintive 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.
