When ESEE decided to make knives specifically for hunters, they sought out advice and opinions from some of the best in the industry. The ESEE Ashley Game Knife was designed by Ashley Emerson who has hunted and guided from Alaska to Africa. Throughout his career as a hunter and guide, Emerson has used countless knives and modified many of them to make them work. The AGK (Ashley Game Knife) was born out of that experience. The blade shape, handle shape, and handle material were all specifically designed for maximum comfort and performance. Whether you are field dressing a whitetail deer, or quartering a moose the design of the AGK is perfect for the job.
