I just got it today so my opinion could change. If it does I'll update this review. First off have to just say this is a fantastic knife. I'm not a big fan of china made products, but this is an exception. The quailty of workmanship is top notch. I wouldn't consider this a machete. The blade is 10" long and 3/16" thick which doesn't equal machete. I would call this a camp/survival knife for sure. The steel used is comparable to 1065 to 1070 medium carbon steel, which is typically used to make combat swords. What does that mean? It means its softer and more flexible than steels typically used for knives, but thats ok with me. It makes it more flexible and less prone to chipping compared to say a typical 1095 steel. Its easier to sharpen, but wont hold an edge like a harder steel. It comes out of the box with a sharp semi polished convex edge, which is excellent in my opinion. I usually dont rate knives base on their factory sharpness. I don't care about it because I always re-profile them and put a convex edge on anyway. This one come from the factory already perfect! It's not quite as sharp as I like, but fantastic for a factory edge. The sheath is excellent. I don't know what else to say. The only thing I would change is to add a snap to the belt loop. Other than that its perfect. The only possible weak point I can see is the handle. Only time will tell how it holds up, but its comfortable and you can get a really good grip on it. Im just concerned the plastic may break over time. Maybe it wont. If it does im sure Kershaw will replace it without any problems. For the price you can't really beat it. I chose this knife over a Becker BK-9, and I love Beckers. Review: Man....this is a winner! - I've owned a lot of large blades over the years. This one has really impressed me, I actually own 2 now. If you are a into carrying large knives into the field, over an ax, this may be the one for you. It feels wonderful in the hand, nice comfortable handle, very grippy. The ergonomics of the blade alone make it an excellent chopper and its got a good weight to it. Both of mine came hair popping sharp, are easy to sharpen, and maintain an edge well. The sheath is actually pretty nice too, I like it anyway. You can easily rig it to ride higher by your waist, or lower on your hip. You can adjust the straps on it for right, or left hand carry, (great for me, because I'm a lefty). You can even adjust it for side carry. No rattling around either! Its not as thick as some if its pricier competitors....but I think thats actually an advantage in this case. The length, weight, and overall design, actually lend this thing to be one of the easiest large blades I've ever handled, to be used for machete oriented jobs. I really like this, because when I am out in the field, I often find myself wishing I had a machete with me, I just can't warrant carrying one along, I need something thats going to be able to split wood as well, and I just don't feel that a machete is suited to much besides clearing light brush here in the northwest. The end of the blade flairs out a bit in almost kukri fashion, which not only makes it a great chopper, but also makes it easy to handle as a draw knife, or grip up for small tasks. The price point is where this thing really shines...and I think blows its competition out of the water. For $40 you are getting a large, well designed, carbon steel, full tang Blade, with a pretty good sheath, from a reputable manufacturer. Considering what this thing is capable of...I'm just not sure you can find too many other bargains like that. I think this thing is on par with the Cold Steel Trailmaster, or the Ontario SP50 and the like...in my opinion anyway. I bring those up specifically because they are popular bowies with stellar reputations, and I own both of them. Having used all of these...I can tell you that this Knife performs and holds up, just as well. I even favor it. Now check out the price tag on those others...this thing is a bargain. If you are a big knife guy...you really have to own this. I go in phases of using different styles of tools and had been leaning towards using a hatchet for sometime. This thing brought me right back to big knives! ## Features - CAMP 10 MACHETE KNIFE: From clearing brush to making kindling, the Kershaw Camp 10 is the ideal outdoor and survival tool.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its fantastic *by S***T on February 26, 2014* This review is based on my first impression of this knife.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Camp 10 Machete, Fixed Blade Knife, 10" 65Mn Carbon Tool Steel Blade, Includes Sheath, Camp Series Machete, Outdoor and Survival Tool,Black - Kershaw Camp 10 - Tan Machete, Fixed Blade Knife, 10-in. 65Mn Carbon Steel Blade Includes Sheath, Camp Series Machete, Outdoor and Survival Tool - Kershaw Deschutes Hatchet Camp Ax, Full Tang, Stainless Steel (1075) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2127553-kershaw-camp-10-machete-black-10-inch-fixed-recurve-blade](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/2127553-kershaw-camp-10-machete-black-10-inch-fixed-recurve-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
