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 Kepharts 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" blade with a 4.75" handle, 1/8" thick black oxide coated 1095 HC steel blade, 90 degree spine for striking a Ferro rod and a leather pouch sheath. It may not be pretty but it is designed to work, like all the other ESEE Knives. SELECT SPECS: --Overall Length: 8.90" --Blade Overall Length: 4.19" --Cutting Edge Length: 4.0" --Thickness: .125" --Weight (without sheath): 6.3 oz. --Steel: 1095 Carbon, 55-57 Rc. --Blade Finish: Tumbled Black Oxide --Handles: Sculptured Micarta --Sheath: Right-hand Leather Pouch NOTE: ESEE knives made from high carbon 1095 steel will rust and stain if not properly cared for, especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the users responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor on the blade. Use Lock Tite when assembling any hardware, USA
