ESEE Laser Strike Fixed Blade Survival Knife

The ESEE Laser Strike has a 4.88-inch gunsmoke gray 1095HC steel blade with a full tang at 10 inches overall, an OD green micarta handle with a divot and a lanyard hole.

The divot machined into the handle is a bearing block for a bow drill spindle, which is the detail that names this a survival knife rather than a camp one. It means fire by friction without carrying a separate socket. 1095HC also strikes a ferro rod off the blade spine, so two of the three things a fire needs come from the knife itself.

ESEE backs its knives with a no-questions replacement policy, and the build runs thick stock and simple construction with nothing to fail. Micarta grips harder as hands get damp and will not go brittle in cold the way molded plastic can. Explore more Survival and Bushcraft.
