Kershaw Deschutes Hatchet Camp Ax, Full Tang, Stainless Steel

The Kershaw Deschutes camp ax is an update on the trusty axe that mankind has been using to shape, split, and cut wood for millennia. 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, ensuring that no thrown ax heads will be an issue.

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. Despite its solid construction, the Kershaw Deschutes is lightweight, featuring angular cutouts that double as carrying aids. This modern camper's essential equipment was made to fulfill its important role.

Crafted from tough 3Cr13 stainless steel, the wedge blade of the Kershaw Deschutes hatchet axe is full tang for extraordinary strength and durability. The tan, glass-filled nylon handle with rubberized inserts provides a comfortable, secure grip for camping and backpacking. A molded sheath and nylon straps attach for secure storage and easy carry, while the cutouts in the ax head and knob relieve weight, provide space for wrist-strap and sheath attachment, and make for a versatile design.

Whether chopping, splitting, or tackling light forestry tasks, from boy scout to professional hunter, the Deschutes is the ultimate bushcraft tool. Measuring 14 inches long with a 3.5-inch blade, it weighs just 1 lb. 9 ounces unsheathed and 1 lb. 12 ounces sheathed, making it a compact and lightweight addition to any outdoor enthusiast's gear.
