RCPR4BO: ESEE-PR4-BO Patrick Rollins Camp-Lore PR4

ESEE Knives

The Camp-Lore Series was developed to answer the demand for traditional, basic, bushcraft knives. The designers of this knife series come from unique backgrounds and experiences, with each considered to be one of the best in their field. All of the Camp-Lore knives are simple, traditional, fixed blade designs that have been field-proven for years. Keeping with that simplistic approach, ESEE builds the Camp-Lore line in the USA utilizing 1095 carbon steel blades and removable Micarta handles. Each Camp-Lore knife comes with a USA made traditional pouch sheath using leather supplied by one of the oldest tanneries in North America.

When it comes to wilderness chores, sometimes simple and straightforward is the best approach. The ESEE Camp-Lore PR4 is Patrick Rollins' take on Horace Kephart's classic design. The original prototype was made by James Gibson and tested extensively by Patrick during survival classes, off-trail backpacking, hiking, and camping. The Rowen built production PR4 features a 4.19" blade with a 4.75" handle, 0.125" thick 1095 high carbon steel blade, 90-degree spine for striking a Ferro rod and a leather drop sheath. It may not be pretty but it is designed to work, like all the other ESEE Knives.

SO-OO-OO...WHAT'S NOT TO. LIKE,
My first 'ESEE' knives were Beckers; the BK14 and BK24, the ESKABAR and the D'ESKABAR! It is only fitting that this knife is the ESEE version of the Becker BK62, Ethan Becker's version of the Original Kephart Camp Knife he purchased some time ago, and it is also fitting that this knife is representative of the Camp Lore Series that was so well interpreted by James Gibson in the ESEE JG5 NESSMUK (George Washington Sears)It is said that Kephart preferred the 4" blade, but Becker designed his in the 5" size. Rollins is back to the 4", and has taken further license in handle material and sculpting, adding a lanyard hole, and then borrowing the tumbled stonewash blade finish from the JG5 (a handle and finish I would love to see adapted to all ESEE camp, hunt, survival type knives!) Of all of the sundry knives mentioned here, I have no single favorite. I love them each for their uniqueness, yet faithfulness to their history! I have great personal fondness for the JG5 Nessy! Of the many Kephart versions available in the marketplace, I prefer the BK62 for its being most faithful to the original, but the ESEE-PR4-BO as the best modern day knife to carry out the goals set by Horace Kephart, had he had the tools and materials availble to him in his time!

Top quality
All I can say is that I would buy this knife again. Love it will keep it forever, If you were thinking about it just pull the trigger and buy it. Trust me you won't regret it. It's a little beast of a knife, shaving sharp after lots of use, oil it and the sheath, and it won't let you down.
