ESEE CM6 Black Kydex Sheath with Micarta Handles

The ESEE Line (previously known as RAT Cutlery) is considered a "mid-tech" offering in terms of quality and manufacturing procedures, following the end of our Ontario contract in April 2007. This means that ESEE knives feature upgrades in sheathing, fit, finish, and attention to detail. Significantly, ESEE is now positioned to respond quickly to new product development and enhancements to existing lines.

All of our designs meet the criteria of desirable field cutlery in terms of toughness, comfort, and cutting efficiency. Unlike many manufacturers, ESEE does not simply release a new knife because it looks promising on paper. Instead, we personally field test each new design prototype before it reaches the production stage. Once the final design tweaks have been made and the knife is put into production, we test the design again during field outings in the United States and jungle survival classes in the Peruvian Amazon. We also have users around the world who test our knives and provide valuable feedback.

When you purchase an ESEE knife, you can be confident that you are acquiring a tool designed by real users. Our knives are field-tested to ensure reliability, and they are manufactured using high-quality materials in the USA.

The decision to produce a higher-quality line of knives outside the mass production capabilities of Ontario was a strategic one. We recognized the need to offer a mid-tech option that would cater to the demands of discerning outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. By investing in rigorous testing and attention to detail, we have been able to develop a line of knives that consistently meet the exacting standards of our target audience.

The ESEE brand has gained a reputation for excellence, and our commitment to quality has been a driving force behind our success. We take great pride in crafting knives that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and reliable in the field. Our customers can trust that when they choose an ESEE knife, they are acquiring a tool that has been meticulously designed and thoroughly tested to withstand the demands of the most challenging environments.
