ESEE Knife Handle Scales – Designer, Hand-Finished

Gun Grips X Svechnikov Workshop crafts custom interchangeable handle scales for 9 ESEE knife models. Each set goes through a process that begins with a rough sketch and progresses to the creation of a 3D prototype for a specific knife model, after which it is machined on a CNC machine and finished by hand. The craftsman hand-paints the artistic designs and brings each set to its final finish by coating it with protective oil mixed with wax or yacht varnish. Materials: natural wood, G10, Micarta or carbon fiber. Choose from 72 ready-made designs or create your own with the help of our designers

ESEE handle scales

ESEE Knives, a leading American brand in survival knives and bushcraft blades, traces its roots to 1997 when survival experts Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin founded Randall’s Adventure & Training (RAT) after years teaching jungle survival in Peru's Amazon under contract with the Peruvian Air Force (Escuela de Supervivencia En La Selva / ESSEL)

Frustrated with inadequate gear, they began designing practical tools. Early collaborations included the RTAK (Wicked Knife Co., later Ontario Knife Co. / OKC) and Laser Strike (TOPS Knives). From ~2002–2007, they developed the RAT line for OKC, building reputation for rugged, field-proven designs

In 2007, they rebranded as ESEE Knives (from "ES" in Escuela + "EE" for Escape & Evasion) under Trans Equatorial Solutions, Inc., partnering with Rowen Manufacturing (Idaho) for USA-made models. Focused on 1095 carbon steel durability, no-nonsense fixed blades (ESEE-3, ESEE-4, ESEE-5, Izula), and unbreakable warranties, ESEE gained cult status in survival knives, tactical fixed blades, and bushcraft EDC

Headquartered in Alabama with global distribution, ESEE remains committed to real-world reliability, lifetime no-questions-asked service, and survival-first philosophy—earning trust among military, outdoorsmen, and professionals worldwide
