The combination of a relatively short 5.25\" blade length, saber grind, 0.25\" steel thickness, and full-tang construction combine to make the ESEE-5 virtually unbreakable by human hands. For many years, the ESEE-5 has been one of the most popular of ESEE blades for bushcraft and survival, and thus there exist many variations. This ESEE-5 has an OD Green powdercoated blade, green 3D G10 handles, and a black kydex sheath with clip plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoverall length 11.0\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eweight without sheath 17 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1095 carbon steel blade material, 55-57 Rc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.25\" overall blade length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethumb jimping on spine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree spine for striking ferro rods like the \u003cspan class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-t c2-u c2-3 c2-7b c2-15 c2-12 c2-7c c2-7f\"\u003eESEE Knives RAT Match\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.56\" blade width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.25\" maximum blade thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblade is OD GREEN powdercoated for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esaber grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efull-tang construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eglass-breaker pommel with lanyard loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D G10 micarta handles \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehandle length 5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emaximum handle thickness 1.02\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emicarta handles are removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eambidextrous kydex sheath with detachable clip plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eweight with sheath 22 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA by ESEE Knives \/ Rowen Manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e unconditional lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ESEE-5 is also available in Black and Dark Earth colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ESEE knives are made with absolute attention to detail using the finest raw materials and care during the manufacturing process, and ESEE stands behind its knives with a 100% unconditional lifetime guarantee.

Not only will your blades be more effective when they are sharp, they will actually be safer to use because they will cut with less pressure than a dull blade and behave much more predictably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no single or \"best\" way to sharpen cutlery, because we all have our different preferences and skill levels. Different sharpening methods will also suit different blade shapes and sizes, and you probably would not use the same sharpening tool on a pocketknife and sword. To make the matter even less universal, some prefer to sharpen at home while others sharpen in the field, so the \"best\" sharpening tools will necessarily differ.
