ESEE knives are known for their high-quality construction, and this model is no exception. It is made from high carbon 1095 steel, which is a popular choice for professional cutlery that is designed for heavy use. However, it is important to note that 1095 steel can rust and stain if not properly cared for, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving.
To ensure the longevity of the knife, it is the user's responsibility to keep the blade well-maintained. This includes regularly lubricating and cleaning the blade. ESEE Knives recommends using a dry film rust inhibitor, such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH, to protect the blade from rust and corrosion. By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the reliable performance of the ESEE-3HM fixed blade knife for years to come.
