  5. ESEE Knives - Expat Cleaver CL1 - Black Oxide 1095 & Black G10 - PRIVATE COLLECTION - Knife

    The CL1 Cleaver was born from Expat's extensive international culinary experience, both in the kitchen and in the wilderness. If you're looking for a versatile tool to use in the camp kitchen that can also do double duty as a wood splitter or clean up a camp area, then the Expat Cleaver should be at the top of your wish list..

    “Expat” is a real person. An instructor, adventurer, world traveler and many other things mixed together. While working in some of the most dangerous areas of South America, Expat contacted ESEE seeking jungle survival training in extreme scenarios. Thus began a close partnership that has now lasted for more than 15 years.

    Expat has traveled thousands of miles around the Third World, sometimes with the ESEE team, but always with ESEE products. From armored caravans in Colombia and expeditions to the Himalayas, to earthquakes in El Salvador and hunting in the Balkans, ESEE knives have been a constant companion. He has been a student, translator and instructor for Randall's Adventure Training. During his time abroad, he developed unique insights into tools and adventures and is currently working with ESEE to bring these designs and experiences to others.

    What started with a knife cleaver will end up ... well, who knows? That is the whole purpose of the Expat Experience.
