My 21 yo son is very happy with this knife. He says its very sturdy

Bought this for my dad a few years ago. Still holding an edge, and still hasn't broke.
I bought this on sale for $35. Man what a deal!!
First day out there were some bushes and briers out on the hunting trail we use. Smashed through all that mess with little to no resistance. Then we got curious. Could it cut a limb; four sacks later, yes it can. Checked the edge, still sharp. Hmmm what about that little sapling tree? Wack, wack, wack, wack, wack; yup, sure did. At this point the blade was a little dull, pulled out an edge sharpener, ran it across the edge two times on both sides and it was back to popping hairs off my arm.
We laughed about how awesome this thing was and wondered; but can it cut an oak tree down? We set out on finding the biggest dead oak we could find. After an hour or so we found a massive oak that had fallen into another tree; realizing, we need to cut this into pieces before it splits and potentially gets someone killed.
About six hours later, we had this massive oak tree in eight pieces. When I say massive, it was three foot thick.
There was no edge deformation, the handle is still solid, it only wore off a little of the black coating.
Three years later, it's still being swung into everything between twigs to tree trunks. Skinned a couple of deers, whacked a few fish heads off.
When you first pick up this knife, there's an immediate cave man instinct that kick into overdrive, "I must go wack". Ergonomically, this blade was designed to wack. When you walk out into a forest full of trees, there's this urge to want to start cutting every tree down. But I refrain to only smashing trees that have already passed away. I'd feel terrible cutting down momma and baby tree in the prime of their youth. But dead grandpa tree, you getting whacked to pieces buddy, the we gonna roast some wines over your dead body.
Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention the sheath. The sheath is great and the blade doesn't get snagged. Only down side is that the nylon strap has somehow shrunk through the years; guess Kershaw knew that this blade will be out of its sheath more than it's in it.
All in all I'm very pleased with the camp 10. Best bang for your buck out there; and I do mean that literally.

This is my second one I bought for my old lady. I've used mine for 3 years and put it through every possible abuse it's intended for and it's still functions like new. The blade steel seams of good quality but I really keep up on sharpening it

Purchase 2 of these machetes, one in black and Gray. The other in Tan I modified both of them as per those pictures. The secondary daggers that are attached to the sheath were purchased on Amazon also.

Wow this thing is great! Ill admit im a Kershaw fanboy but this knife blew me away. The fit n finish are superb. The knife arrived quickly from Amazon well oiled and with a beautiful razor edge. Im not going waste time describing this knife. descriptions are everywhere.

The carbon steel blade holds an edge great. I recently took it out chopping heavy oak logs for my fire pit with a hair popping edge. I was purposely rough with it for about 4 hours. After that, it wouldn't shave hair anymore but it still cut paper perfectly. No chips or dents in the blade. The finish did get scuffed up but this is to be expected. Actually in my experience, this finish held up better than the finish on any of the Becker/Kabar knives I own. All of which are much more expensive than the CAMP 10.

Not much to say about the handle. Rubber overmold and full tang. Fits my hand great. The rubber is "just right" grippy and feels of quality.

The Camp 10's shape and weight makes it really good at chopping and batoning. I could see it doing well at clearing brush too although its weight is front heavy. I could learn to handle that. The grind and edge retention makes it good at slicing too. This knife is very handy. I am REALLY happy with this purchase.

However the sheath, while well built, sucks IMO. I HATE Non rigid belt loops. This loop has a Velcro detachment which is nice but the thing flops all over the place when hooked to your belt. This is super annoying to me. My solution is to tie the bottom of the sheath to my thigh with elastic or cord. luckily the plastic sheath has plenty of holes for lashing. The sheath does has multiple carry options. It comes with 2 nylon/Velcro strap for horizontal carry or lashing to a pack - this makes up for the lame belt attachment. The retention is a nylon strap that wraps around the hilt and snaps. Its adequate at holding the hefty CAMP 10 in the sheath, BUT, when you remove the knife the edge can possibly cut the strap. DUMB. Only a matter of time for me. Im about to make my own kydex sheath for it. I could live with the factory sheath but I enjoy making my own kydex sheaths, holsters etc.

Im pretty sure the CAMP 10 is made in china. BUMMER

I really really love this knife and I glad I have it in my collection. I highly recommend the CAMP 10 to anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

But due to the sheath and china I give it 4 STARS
