## Description

The Camp 10 whacks campsite and other outdoor chores down to size. Made with high-performance 65Mn carbon tool steel, the versatile 10-inch blade handles a wide variety of tasks. It's perfect for clearing brush, making kindling and more. The included nylon blade sheath protects the blade from scratches, keeps the edge sharp and safely stores the knife when not in use. The razor-sharp, recurve blade edge is designed for a full range of cutting tasks. Powdercoat finish provides additional protection and durability, making maintenance easier throughout the machete's lifetime. Designed with glass-filled nylon and coated in a sure-grip overmold, the handle is contoured for a comfortable, secure grip. Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own, carry and use. Whether it's a hardworking pocketknife, a hunting knife or a special collectors' edition, Kershaw always chooses appropriate, high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship.

Review: Camping, hiking and homeowner recommended. - I own the Kershaw 10, 14 and 18 inch. I have been using them for more than two years mainly for hiking and property maintenance. These are good quality large knives that work very well at limbing trees, opening coconuts, clearing a path of heavy brush, and removing large plants like banana and papaya. All of my Kershaw Camp knives came very sharp out of the box with a good working edge. Although I have an assortment of machetes from short to long, none of them hit with the authority of the Camp series of knives. The heavier blade doesn't require the velocity of a machete strike. The approximately 3/16ths of an inch steel also has a tendency free itself after a strike and not get wedged into the wood. This is a full tang knife with steel going all the way to the back of the handle. I added a paracord lanyard easily to the big cutouts in the handle to make a D-shape guard. I have never had a slip or drop with that set up. The rubber grip has very aggressive traction that smoothes out over time but shows no wear after some pretty heavy use. The plastic sheath is very functional and solid. I added a snap and strap to hold the handle while using the sheath in a drop leg configuration to control bounce. A leg strap keeps the whole setup in place when walking. Of course a baldric (shoulder strap) or pack mount are easy and quick to setup, too. The steel appears to be a simple carbon steel with a baked on finish that is durable enough for medium use but with quickly wear in heavy use. There's no need to strip any of these. The knife keeps an edge that gets me through the day but requires regular maintenance. The blade and handle fasteners should get a light coat of mineral after each use. I sharpen mine after ever use and they stay shaving sharp with about two minutes on a strop. Not bad for such a big blade. This is a solid choice if you want a very good knife with a versatile sheath that you're not afraid to use in the deep, deep forest without a rider on your homeowner's policy. I have better knives with better sheaths that cost hundreds of dollars more and do everything better - and they should! But bang for the buck? It's hard to beat the Kershaw Camp series.
Review: Amazing quality at an unbelievable price - What it is: A quality heavy cutting tool! What it is not: A machete. (it's really more like a short sword) It just doesn't get any better than this. If you are looking for a serious and versatile cutting tool for cold to temperate climates stop looking and buy it now. You would be hard pressed to find anything better, This will chop, hack, split, and cut anything you put in front of it. Chops dead-fall better than a hatchet or almost any axe in the price range and clears trails better than a big knife (I'm lookin' at you CS Trailmaster and RTAK II) and clear shrubby stuff like a long handle brush axe... minus the long handle ;) will do anything a machete will for a few swings before your arm gets tired. Leave your other blades at home... you wont be needing them. Pros: - One of the best "Big Blades" available period (Not just for the money) - Excellent heat treating - perfect temper - Scary sharp out of box! - Blade is Full Flat Ground with a nice convex edge and 3/16" thick! - Nice durable black powdercoat on blade, will wear with time but so far so good - The injection molded rubber handle is very comfortable in hand and not too "grippy" - Sheath is not too shiny and and has plenty of attachment points for your pack or MOLLE/PALS gear but this blade WAY too heavy for tactical use! *Get to feel like Crocodile Dundee "That's not a knife..." Cons: - They try to sell it as a machete which it is not. If you want to swing this thing around all day at thin springy vines and branches or grasses then forget it; it's just too heavy. Buy a tramontina instead or if you are headed for the real jungle get a Condor light machete. - As other Reviewers have noted the sheath isn't the best. It is a functional hard plastic that is annoyingly loud with zero passive retention, It is also heavy. But If you shove some foam rubber in the bottom or add a retaining magnet to keep it quite it should do just fine, for professional use; get a Kydex sheath. - Negative for your wallet; If you're like me it will make you want to buy two or three these; just in case this one walks off and they stop making them. - After you clear your property of all standing vegetation... It Might make you neighbors nervous when you're asking if they need anything cut down. Pro tip: Use Lemon Pledge to keep your blades clean and protected, it makes them cut better too! WD-40 will do the same job but can harm the finish.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it worth the money? A YouTuber that reviews blades reviewed this machete and by the end it had a  big crack .**
A: Well, here's the thing...

You have another case of trying to make one tool do it all. There are always trade offs. It is a long and thin knife the shape of a machete. Machetes are typically made of thin, underhardened or lower carbon alloys that are very flexible and ductile, but not hold a keen edge and are more likely to roll than chip or break. Knives, with the exception of fillet or many kitchen knives, are made of thicker, harder alloys designed to keep their shape better and hold an edge longer. They tend to be higher in either carbon content or hardness,  or both. This tool is a long thin knife more than a machete, as it has a higher carbon content and holds an edge significantly better than most of my machetes. It's not much thicker, but it is, and the weight and feel in hand shows. It is also far stiffer than most of my machetes. It is also quite comfortable in hand, but I'm not sure yet about durability of the handle - only time will tell. Since it holds a better edge, it serves my purposes more fully, in spite of being more brittle, for accompanying my pruning shears for clearing Himalayan blackberry bushes, a pest here in the Pacific Northwest. I use a Cold Steel machete or Tramontina in the tropics. I use my axes and hatches, or larger Ontario sp's or my Becker bk9 on stiffer, thicker, woodier materials. A thin, higher carbon hard tool steel tempered like this, especially when it has lots of contaminants as "dirty" Chinese usually does, will be far more prone to breakage with lateral forces. I have found mine to not chip as much as roll, so they've done a fairly good job on these. Overall, knowing what I was getting into,  I'm fairly satisfied with these tools (10 and 18 inch).

**Q: where is this made?**
A: This knife is made in China from Chinese 65Mn, high carbon, non-stainless steel.

**Q: Does it come very sharp or does it need to be sharpened?**
A: It come sharp. Keep in mind this type of machete is for heavy duty chopping and should not have an edge so sharp that you can shave with it, It would only dull quickly if it did.

**Q: Does the loose-fitting sheath cause dulling of the edge since it rattles?**
A: I can't imagine a plastic sheath hurting a hardened steel edge.
If it does then the blade is not heat treated properly.
If the blade can withstand hitting hardwood without rolling the edge then it shouldn't get hurt by some plastic.

*by T***C on September 15, 2020*

Ottimo machete per districarsi tra i tanti cespugli di rovi che sono cresciuti nel.bosco. Molto difficile trovarne uno simile.in vendita nei negozi normali. Dopo averlo utilizzato intensamente posso dire che: 1 mi ha convinto l acciaio della lama, molto resistente, anche su rami grossi e secchi nemmeno un minimo segno di scheggiatura sulla lama. 2 per la lunghezza e e la lama appuntita ottimo per sfoltire rovi, in modo da tenersi con il corpo lontano delle spine. 3 purtroppo il manico non è all altezza del resto. Da usarsi necessariamente con i guanti, il problema poi è che è troppo piccolo da impugnare con i guanti e sopratutto manca di un appoggio sicuro a fine manico. Da usare necessariamente con un laccio al polso/dragona legata sul manico per non rischiare che l attrezzo durante l uso sfili di mano. Molto meglio il manico in gomma che usa Silky, molto più sicuro e meno stancante anche a mani nude. Solo che silky non produce nessun attrezzo del genere. Il fodero in robusta plastica è invece un plus.
