USA. All knives that feature the ESEE logo are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. by Rowen Manufacturing in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Beware of cheaper parallel imports – they will look exactly the same, box and all. But the premium Rowan heat treat and steel will be inferior.

The Esee JG5 is made from 1095 carbon steel. This is not a stainless steel. It requires a little more care to prevent oxidation (rusting). The blades are coated to minimize this but it is advisable that after use you clean it and put away dry.

HRC 55-57

The Esee legend of toughness and practical workhorse knives continues with the skinner profile of the JG5 ‘Nessmuk’ model. Tough Micarta handles, a 115 mm cutting edge that is easily sharpened in the field and a genuine leather sheath is just the start. Esee has an unbeatable warranty. Here is the main point from their web site….. but go online and read the details.

Our warranty is pretty simple: if you break it, we will repair or replace it. We will not question the validity of your warranty claim for a broken knife. We must have the broken knife returned to validate a warranty claim.
