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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Man....this is a winner! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 23, 2013* 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 gota 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 ridehigher by your waist, or lower on your hip. You can adjust the straps on it for right, orleft 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 advantagein this case. The length, weight, and overall design, actually lend this thing to be one ofthe easiest large blades I've ever handled, to be used for machete oriented jobs. I really likethis, 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 aswell, and I just don't feel that a machete is suited to much besides clearing light brush here in thenorthwest.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 tagon 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! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pinch me! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 24, 2013* Holy Christmas....Pinch me, please!? Kershaw really knocked-it-out-of-the-park with their Camp Knife line!! Starting at $36 bucks for their 10" version, I bought all three (3) sizes, sight unseen. So I've read all of the negative reviews but at $36 bucks....are you kidding me?? Firstly, I disagree with the review that claims the sheath is cheap and plastic-like. In my opinion, It's sturdy enough and well-designed but most of all will NOT rot on you for those using it in wet, humid jungle/tropical climates. I own a LOT of machetes including Condors and expensive tactical ones(brands I won't mention) and here's where the Kershaws shine. Right out of the box the handle fits perfectly in your hand. Because of it's well thought out design and almost "sticky" rubber grip, it really inspires confidence during full swings and never feels like it will accidentally slip out of your hand. This is my main beef about the other machetes - their handles almost require some sort of rubber wrap or lanyard to keep them from slipping out of your hand during use. Kershaw's is extremely and utterly PERFECT! So yeah, the blade coating isn't parkerized or super-durable but at this price point, who cares (that's what they make oil for)? Did I mention it's pretty well balanced w/ a slight frontal bias, perfect for chopping and follow-through? I would have no hesitation taking these Kershaw Camp Knives with their robust blades and super-grips out into the jungles of Costa Rica where these tools would undoubtedly be my best friend in any survival situation! Oh BTW, these things would probably really wreak havoc on any occasional zombie crossing paths with you..haha! Conclusion: Kershaw Camp Knives are "perfect" out-of-the-box tools at an incredible price point. In fact, they're so cheap, I'm buying another set of the three available sizes! Thank you, Kershaw for an amazing, well-designed tool at an incredibly affordable price! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BUY - BOTH KNIFE AND SHEATH *by on Reviewed in the United States April 8, 2015* Of the variety of large knives, machetes and so forth, this is by far one of the best knife & sheath combinations. The price makes it an even better deal. It doesn't really matter to me whether it is a true Kukri a Bolo or something else. What matters is that it works. There are several larger knives I have been looking at but now question whether I would use them enough to make the purchase.This past year I bought a Kukri style knife, 'U.S.Army Strong" Tactical Kukri. It was not very good. Just a heavy piece of metal at a low price. It did put me on a trail to find something better. As a result I've purchased a variety of chopping blades. For the most part, I've moved toward the re-curved style. They are not as easy to sharpen as a straight edge but they work better for me. I love the Camp 10. It is the right size, it cuts really well, the handle and grip are well above average. You can hack w/ it, baton it and even make a few curls for a fire. It doesn't substitute for a Mora or other light bushcraft knife. Its a little big for dressing a squirrel or cleaning fish. It is what it is - a camp knife. At this length and design, I would also have trouble calling it a Kurkr or a Machete. Only time will tell how well it holds up. Since I really like it, I will use it.The sheath is the best I've found in my journey for a really good camp knife. The Schrade set-up is a close second It is a hard shell w/ very functional webbing straps. It can be carried in a number of ways and has lashing slots and holes. It does not have MOLLE webbing. It could be very easily modified to use attachments. I've made an extension to the belt loop attachment to drop the handle below my waist and allow it to swing more along w/ a loop of cord around the handle and sheath strap to pull the handle closer to the body. Given the price of under $35 I can't complaint.In my search, I've stayed away from the really long blades. For me they are beyond my need, cumbersome and more weight. I have grass cutting machetes which I never use. Of the others I've picked up, the Schrade are really good. The SOG is o.k. but I've found that saw-backs are of of limited value and tend to cut their sheaths. The Marbles hookbill axe and the Silky hookbill are also excellent. If you buy a Marbles - be sure to get the sheath. Since its multi-functional, I plan to take Marbles w/ me whenever I pack out. In fact, its good to just have in the truck. The Silky is in a price by itself, both in price and quality. It is a quality lifetime tool. The Cold Steel is a really good working tool. Budget wise it is hard to beat. The down side is - it comes w/ a raw grind which has to be finished.The Kershaw, Marbles and Silky are fun to use. All are really good pruning, trimming and chopping tools. I've found the re-curve Kukri style and the hookbills to be my favorite chopping tools.I hope this information is of value to you and wish you the best in your selections. ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/2127553-camp-10-machete-black-10-inch-fixed-recurve-blade](https://www.desertcart.is/products/2127553-camp-10-machete-black-10-inch-fixed-recurve-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
