Review: Beautiful knife designed to work in numerous fields. - Excellent knife and a great value. This comes with a full lifetime warranty, that's just states what this company is about. Sharp out of the box and fit and finish excellent. I was concerned about the handle, until I put it in my hand. Feels amazing regardless of grip.
Review: After years of looking, I found it. - I am by no means a primordial God of the wilderness. That being said, I would honestly say I'm pretty far towards the right side of the bell curve when it comes to outdoors experience. I am also not an ESEE fanboy. I do have an ESEE-5 that has taken some serious beatings on three continents and come back thirsty for more. The ESEE-5 is a massive chunker, and was great for everything from carving holes in mud walls to chopping up shipping crates to cutting straps and prying open doors. It's a great knife that has a purpose, and this review isn't about that knife. It's a classic Kephart design. It doesn't look mean, it doesn't look TACTICAL, it doesn't look like it might kill a man just to watch it die. The 1095 steel is old fashioned, but whatever trade secrets Rowen (the company that does the heat treating for ESEE) is holding makes 1095 blossom into a seriously impressive performer. After recently trying a couple of brands and models, including some marketed towards "bushcraft", I picked up a PR4 fully expecting to hate the handle and being ready to buy one of the aftermarket Micarta sets that a couple makers are offering. That didn't happen. Instead, on its first trip out last year to the family acreage where I like to tool around in the woods, I took it as my only knife and gave it a hard three day evaluation. It was on my hip any time I had pants on, and I used it for everything from food prep to fire prep, debarking and carving a standing dead poplar sapling to make a walking pole for the swamp, and carving notches in timber to repair and extend a lean-to. I didn't do anything crazy, like use it as a piton to repel down a thousand foot rock face, or baton it through an oak with a diameter double the blade length. I did process all my firewood for 3 days using it and a cudgel, including quite a lot of baton work through wrist and calf sized white oak, poplar, smaller hickory, jack pine, and hemlock, all of which it handled without complaint. A couple quick touch ups and it was ready to absolutely breeze through fish, rabbit, and porcupine. The balance is superb. There is exactly enough steel in the blade to make the knife strong enough to do anything you might want to do with it in the woods, aside from perhaps chop through a car door or dig a drainage ditch in rocky soil. The profile of the blade makes it easy to touch up, and also easy to use different parts of the blade distinctly for different tasks. I did some basic leatherwork using various grips including a pinch grip near the tip of the blade and found it comfortable for extremely delicate work. I also didn't find any hot spots with a classic power grip while batoning. The handle is shockingly comfortable even for my large hands with long fingers, and aside from adding a short, fat tassel to the pommel to make it easier to pull out of the deep (and well made) leather sheath, I've done nothing to it but the occasional touch-up on a pocket stone and a small bit of oil before putting it away between trips. Honestly, for what I'm looking for (a woods knife), this one is going to be just about impossible to beat without going full custom. I actually ended up giving away a handful of knives (a Garberg, a Falkniven F-1, and a couple of Bushlores/Mini Bushlores) that I wasn't necessarily displeased with because I just didn't need them anymore, and the older boys at the family camp trip didn't have more than a couple of cheap pocket knives between them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it! Not perfect but you will love it anyway.
*by W***N on March 10, 2021*

I think this is a great general purpose camp knife. Classic spear point and an innovative handle texture combine to make a knife that is a real pleasure to use. The sheath is US made and of pretty good quality. It could have benenefitted from double-stitching, but still is nice. The knife comes shaving sharp. Not kidding. The spine is a sharp-edged 90 deg. and perfect for striking ferrocerium rods. The carbon steel stays sharp and is easy to resharpen. Remember, the very best professional chef knives are carbon steel. Now, for just a few slight negatives: 1. The scales are really nice but too narrow! My hands are exactly medium. Even 1/16" -1/8" would make a great difference. There are a nuber of aftermarket scales for this knife. But if I were the manufacturer, I would want to make it right so there was no need for an aftermarket part. Yes I know materials come in standard thicknesses so why not injection mold them? 2. Keep the blade oiled. Carbon steel arguably makes a better knife but it needs attention or you will be disappointed. 3. The blade is so sharp that it slices into the sheath when you insert it. The sheath is of good quality but the molding is not perfect. Summary: All things considered, I would absolutely buy this knife again. Nevertheless, I am a little aggrivated that the handle is too narrow and I am going to have to add spacers. This is especially annoying when the manufacturer is well aware of this defect. This is the only reason I am rating it 4 stars instead of 5.
