## Description

The popular Kershaw Camp 10 - Tan machete has been widely praised for both value and durability. The black-and-tan color scheme was inspired by a Camp 10 that was put to work and got all dusty in the process. Turns out, it looked pretty good. Cut, slash, hack, split, scrape—just about any task you ask of it, the Camp 10 Tan can handle. From clearing brush to making kindling, the Camp 10 Tan is the ideal outdoor and survival tool. Ready to cut a trail, slash kindling, hack brambles, or clear a campsite, the Camp 10 comes with a tan molded sheath featuring lash points and nylon straps for protection and convenient carry. Perfect for backyard, field or tactical cleanup, the Camp Tan completes the capabilities and repertoire of outdoor enthusiasts, explorers, and laborers alike. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything.

Review: Best Value Campsite Beater - I purchased a camp 10 for my father about 4 or 5 years ago. He constantly raved about how good it feels in his hands, how the sheath is spot on perfect, and how well the blade has been holding up under pretty extreme conditions. Eventually I bought one for myself to see what the big deal was. When it came in, I immediately took it in the field for a campsite test. I put this thing through a very extreme conditioning test to see how sturdy this 1077 carbon steel was. I'm usually not a huge fan of Chinesium steel blades, but this thing just kept on going. I used the camp 10 to cut through thick and thin branches, and it dug in very nice. The most extreme thing I did was chop through a massive fallen tree that was blocking the trail. I had stepped over that tree since I was a little kid, it was about time to clear it from the path. Now, this tree was about 8 ft in diameter, pretty large and thick, given it was dead wood, but still, the camp 10 ate it up like an axe. Blade didn't chip, warp, or roll. The handle is still secure. Ergonomically speaking, the blade shape is like a straightened kukri, and the handle is canted downwards, when you pick up the knife, you can straight away feel the forward heaviness. The 10 inch blade is somewhat of a sweet spot, not quit a machete, not quit a knife, but in between those lines is a nice chopper. Blade is thick enough in the spine to handle just about anything made of wood. There are plenty of reviews raving about how great the camp 10 is, and at this price point, you truly cannot get a better knife that can do everything this can do without spending upwards of $150+. I've used expensive knives and cheap knives. Kershaw really hit a home run with this one. I consider this to be a cheap knife made to medium standards. Also, you get a really nice plastic sheath, that alone is worth what the knife itself is. Don't know how many times I've bought a TOPS knife and hated the sheath it came with. I am not a fan of nylon in any firm it comes in, unless it is hardened with epoxy. Out of the two kershaw knives I have used and seen used it is safe to say that the quality control on these is pretty much spot on, which says a lot at this price point. Usually when you spend under $100 on a big knife, you end up with something unusable, not the case here. The knife came in fairly sharp from the factory, nothing crazy, but it definitely wasn't dull. After using the knife to cut through a tree, I took a 600 grit wet stone and made about 10 passes on either side and the blade was actually razor sharp. I'm very impressed with the 1077 carbon steel, I normally go for 1095 carbon because it's a good all around steel for a decent price. 1077 mimics 1095, in that sense, it's quit impressive at the price point. If your looking for a something with a bigger cutting surface than a hatchet, then get the camp 10, it's basically a 10 inch hatchet. In the 5+ years of experience with thus blade, I can safely recommend this to anyone looking for a camp knife that they can beat on.
Review: Great knife !!! Great weight and takes abuse - This knife has been amazing for the price. Great camp knife. Has enough weight to it to be a solid chopper and the blade is plenty sharp for cutting. Seems to hold and edge after hours of abuse. If ya don’t use it for camping , outdoors or utility could always make a great zombie tool After the apocalypse lol

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide are the straps that run behind the sheath?**
A: 2 inches.

**Q: What is the best method to sharpen this style blade?**
A: I have a lot of experience with this blade and IMHO the best method with any recurve is a round ceramic sharpening rod followed up with a strop. Another tip is to never let it get too dull. Use it on a weekend camping trip, come home and touch it up. Solid blade indeed.  I own three of these along with its larger 14 and 18 inch siblings.

**Q: Does the design of the straps of the scabbard inhibit a fast draw/retreival in a life and death situation?**
A: There is only one strap and it has enough additional strap sticking out past the snap that with a little practice you can unsnap the strap and grab the handle all in one motion. This procedure can me done without looking down at the scabbard. If I personally thought that I about to find myself in a life or death situation, the strap would be unsnapped just like I would take a gun off safety if I felt threatened. Good luck and stay safe. I would not want to be on the receiving end of this machete!

**Q: I read the warning. What exactly is toxic with this product?**
A: Who knows? Everything is toxic after a certain point. Could be the oil on the blade from the factory, could be the plastic in the sheath, could be the metal shavings that come off the blade when you sharpen it or the handle material might be toxic if you burn it. Those warnings are too nonspecific to be worth much.  Kershaw is a pretty reputable company and you don’t get that way by poisoning your customers. This is a good quality product, and I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as you don’t plan to eat the thing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item, Very Strong and Sharp. Excellent Value.
*by S***T on May 18, 2024*

This is an amazing value. It's strong, sharp and feels great in the hand. The blade thickness is 5mm (approximately 0.20"), which IMO is perfect for this size of tool. The blade steel sharpens easily and holds a nice cutting edge. The handle is thick enough to feel very secure, and the rubber grip adds a great touch. It's very comfortable to use and will not slip out of your hands. The finish is a powder coat, which will wear easily. No problem, though. After using it, just give it a shot of WD40 and you'll be good to go next time. It arrived pretty darn sharp right out of the box. It was sharp enough for me to trim a tree having a lot of 1" branches with ease. It ended up getting a tad on the dull side, but 10 swipes with a KaBar brand sharpener gave it a razor's edge. I love the sheath. It's very strong and well designed. The knife does tend to rattle around a bit when sheathed, but it does not hurt anything. No big deal to me. All things considered, this is an amazing value. God bless the USA and our troops!
