## Description

Mankind been using the axe to shape, split, and cut wood for millennia. The Kershaw Deschutes camp ax is an update on that trusty tool. With its angular handle lines and cutouts in the ax head and knob, it has a decidedly contemporary look - but form meets function in this survival tool. The full tang - an extension of the blade steel through the handle - capitalizes on the strength of the 3Cr13 stainless steel to make this one efficient splitter. No thrown ax heads here. The blade's extended bearded design helps the user accomplish carving tasks, such as cutting kindling, without sacrificing the heft and swing needed to split logs. And although it's a solid piece of equipment, it's lightweight, featuring angular cutouts that double as carrying aids. The Kershaw Deschutes was made to be essential equipment for the modern camper - and we're confident that it will fulfill that important role.

Review: A great choice for a camp axe - I purchased the Kershaw Deschutes ”Bearded” Hatchet Camp Ax mainly for performing camping-related tasks, like cutting small branches, but not for chopping large logs. Pros - Great size (14 inches in length) and weight (1 lb 9 oz) for easy travel during hiking, backpacking, and camping- Full tang construction - comfortable handle - comes equipped with sheath and nylon carrying case, so no need to buy an extra sheath - Great for chopping small wood pieces at home - Very sharp. Made from high-carbon steel, so the edge of this axe already comes sharpened and ready to use out of the box, but you can make it as sharp as you like - Very balanced weight. Compared to a lot of camp axes I've tested, this tool doesn't feel too heavy, bulky, or unbalanced, so no matter where you hold it, it feels good in your hands.- great for carving and shaving wood for kindling Cons - Due to the size and weight of this axe, you will end up exerting more energy than necessary chopping and splitting larger logs - Because the axe is made from high-carbon steel, it will need regular sharpening after each use for maximize efficiency. - the butt (poll) of the axe is relatively thin, so it's not ideal for hammering Is the Kershaw Deschutes ”Bearded” Hatchet Camp Ax better than Other Axes? The short answer is it depends on your needs. I did a lot of research on several hatchets, axes, and tomahawks and watched dozens of YouTube demonstration videos to compare them all, even visited local military surplus and camping supply stores to compare each axe. The demonstration videos are how I arrived at selecting this particular axe. There was only 1 axe that rated higher on my list, but I didn't purchase it based on its high price. Overall, it's a great tool capable of tree and brush trimming, but you won't want to cut down a large tree with it.
Review: Handy, sharp, useful, great hatchet/small axe - Very cool hatchet, sharp, holds an edge, nice balance, useful size for felling small trees, convenient wrench function, great sheath and sling arrangement. Try it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Not All Peaches & Cream For This Kid
*by M***S on May 10, 2024*

It's okay. It's not worth $60. Great name that make quality blades, but they need work on their axes. It serves a purpose though, and has a niche. Sling is probably the best part about it. Stainless steel is a hair soft (good axes are made of carbon steel). Blade too thin. No hammer on poll. It's a chopper, not a splitter. It's light, but that weighs against it (see what I did there). Try any Gerber in this range. Better value. HB, HW and GB are next hatchet price tier. This is a, "Honey, we're going to the campgrounds to hang out with the "Smiths" this weekend. I think I need to bring a hatchet" affair. A great conversation piece, but not a true workhorse hatchet. I've included a pic with the Gerber Bushy and the Sweedish masterpiece, the 325 HB. I like grippy handles. 4 stars though for Kershaw.
