The ESEE PR4 and the ESEE 4 are very similar knives, but each have subtle differences that give them advantages in handling the tasks they were designed for.
Bushcraft, campcraft, survival, and even tactical environments all demand certain things from a knife in order to handle the related tasks most effectively. So if you’re interested in getting one of these two knives, I hope this video helps to steer you in the right direction. If not–please reach out to me through the comment section below.
I put both the ESEE PR4 and the ESEE 4 through quite a bit of work before making this video in order to form my personal opinion where these knives stand in terms of function. Both knives are very tough and capable, but in this video I discuss and demonstrate some of my findings. I also show close-up comparison views and discuss the individual specs of each knife to help you get a good idea of how these two knives from ESEE Knives might serve your needs.

where can I find those scale
Those handle scales are just the stock scales. I used a round file, put on a respirator (micarta dust is nasty stuff), and just carved them to my liking. I have another video on my youtube channel where I do this to an ESEE Junglas. If you check that video out, you’ll be able to see the in more detail how I go about it.
