{"product_id":"esee-jg3-fixed-blade-knife-with-leather-sheath","title":"ESEE JG3 Fixed Blade Knife with Leather Sheath","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe ESEE JG3 is a USA-made fixed-blade knife designed by journeyman knifemaker and primitive skills expert James Gibson, built around 1095 high carbon steel with a full flat grind and a Black Oxide Stone Washed finish. At 7.63 inches overall and 4.5 oz, it carries the weight of a capable field knife without the bulk. This listing is for the ESEE-JG3-BO configuration: the JG3 knife paired with a right-hand leather pouch sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned by Someone Who Uses It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Gibson brought a primitive skills and journeyman knifemaker's perspective to the JG3's geometry. The full flat grind runs the blade thinly from spine to edge, which means less resistance when slicing and easier field sharpening on a flat stone. That is a practical advantage when working with natural materials far from a sharpening station. That design intent shows in a knife sized for everyday carry and camp tasks rather than display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel and Finish Built for Field Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1095 high carbon steel at 55–57 Rc sits in a sweet spot for a working knife: hard enough to hold an edge through sustained use, tough enough to resist chipping under lateral stress, and straightforward to resharpen with common field tools. The Black Oxide Stone Washed finish reduces surface reflectivity and provides a degree of corrosion resistance without adding a thick coating that would affect edge geometry near the plunge line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBacked for Life, No Paperwork Required\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eESEE's lifetime guarantee covers the JG3 unconditionally: no sales receipt, no registration, no expiration.
