Overview

The ESEE ESPR4BO-BRK is a fixed blade knife with a 4 inch high carbon steel blade, an 8.9 inch overall length, a sculptured Micarta handle, and a weight of 0.8 pounds.

The specs here match the title: this is a knife, not a sheath, despite sitting in a category labeled Knifes rather than the more specific fixed-blade wording. High carbon steel holds an edge well but needs basic corrosion care compared to stainless.

  • 4 inch blade
  • 8.9 inch overall length
  • High carbon steel construction
  • Sculptured Micarta handle

Who it's for

Fits outdoor, bushcraft or utility users who want a fixed 4 inch blade with a grippy contoured handle. It is not the choice for someone who wants a low-maintenance stainless folder.
