I miss the older version made with D2 tool steel

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

Favorite "big chopper"? Cant decide on this :BK21,Condor Amalgam...nothing in stock by Barkriver for at least 2 years

[@Top-Jimmy]

Mine is still going strong 5 and a half years on. Highly would recommend this blade as an all purpose carry. Definitely one of my favorites in my collection without a doubt. Great video man.

[@domagojmijobetin9157]

i have this knife(black) for 2 years ,and for camping,wood,field,mountains,sea.......you do not need anithing else. greatings from croatia

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Thanks man, glad to know there is some life in it. Il be using it throughout this hunting season to really put through the paces. Thanks for watching

[@dwaynerobertson383]

That is one of the best, most concise reviews I have ever seen. You nailed every possible point I believe you could have covered...and thanks for showing a proper method for tying a lanyard. The simple basic loop, like a swing on the wrist, always seemed a bit unsafe for my liking! Excellent review.

[@davidowens70]

Couple years ago my son wanted a kukri for christmas. But when I went to Cabella's a few days before Xmas (cause I suck at Chritmasing) they were all sold out. The only thing mildly resembling a kukri was the the camp 10 so I (with some disapointment) purchaded it for my son. In the months that followed, I was so completly blown away by sheer amout of abuse and punishment this thing could take, I bought one for every member of my family, and will probably continue to buy them for friends (btw, if you want to know how much punishment a knife can take - just give it to a 13yr old boy for a few months. Our little tests are bullshit by comparison lol). I wouldn't say that this is just the best knife for the money - but I'd go as far as to say it's one of the most solid knives out there period.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Cool, thanks for that information. I like it so far but I dont use it much because I have a few that I have made, that I prefer. This one is more of a "camp loaner" in my wall tent kit now.

[@Laiynnalaiynna]

I wouldn't buy a Chinese blade, but the review from Tac (Tactical Show) and his Small Machete Shoot Out convinced me into getting one. Never regretted it, bought the grey version for about 35 Dollars on Amazon and have been using it daily for several years now. Best knife for the money (okay okay, on par with the Skrama from Varuteleka :)). This thing chops, hacks, delimbs, batons and you can even use it for finer woodwork too. Buy one, you will love it! As a little tip I would like to advise to use some hockey tape on the handle, it will be the most comfortable handle you have ever felt, guaranteed!

[@ernsthelder7928]

Das ist falsch. Die Messerklingen aus China sind echt gut und günstig. Das Kershaw Camp 10 kriegst du nicht kaputt. Joe X ist an der Klinge verzweifelt. Selbst eine Kugel als der Heckler Koch und eine Kugel aus dem Sturmgewehr des Heeres von Österreich machten die Klinge nicht kaputt. Hingegen hielten Messer die das zehnfache kosteten der Belastung nicht Stand. Also nicht alles aus China ist Scheisse !!!! MfG

[@davidmathews2124]

I’ve got a lot of knives around here, big & small. Plus I’ve made Nordic & Western knives for years. There are many aspects of the Camp 10 that are outstanding but the primary thing is how well it cuts. It’s a winner.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

It is a good blade for sure.

[@andyharbin411]

My buddy and I just got back from a 3 day trip in the Great Smokey Mountains. Not a dry piece of wood anywhere. We carry a saw to cut logs. The Camp10 split Hemlock logs with ease. Performed great. Batons like a champ. Used a larger limb as a sledgehammer. I beat this thing into the ground and it kicked ass. I love this thing. Lost a little bit of the finish but there’s not a Knick or structural flaw to be found. Best tool I own. Packed easily. Light weight. Bad Mutha F er!! Good job Kershaw! Well done.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

thanks for sharing your experience with it. you never really know until you start putting a blade to work.

[@waynegonzales7309]

[@colinburns9736]

Thanks for a great review. I watch many reviews and you hit the sweet spot. Enough detail. Real world. Thoughtful. Something I would trust. BTW I do like this knife. A lot. Surprising to me that there are not more large recurves out there. Besides the sharpening thing and maybe sheath fit, there seem to be so many advantages to a curved edge. Again though, many thanks for this great contribution to knife knowledge online.

[@randycisneros4111]

Nice informative review I just bought the Kershaw Camp 10 and I'm adding to my outdoor camping gear thank you for sharing your review

[@MakersMovementDIY]

My pleasure, thank you, this one now lives in my hunting truck emergency kit.

[@RetiredParatrooper]

My buddy has one, which is why I ended up checking out this video. It takes of 1"+ branches in one swing, and makes very short work of trees 4-5" in diameter. Edge retention on his is great. His is about 4 years old. Ditching my machete for one of these.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Thanks for that comment. Glad that you had the chance to get hands on one.

[@HanlonRazor]

Great review, thanks. I am not a big knife guy, but I have been looking at this for a while. I put money down on my belt knives (mostly Bark River and LT Wright), but I don’t want to spend as much for a knife I won’t use much. I think this will fit the bill.

[@leroy7513]

I have one and it has the best feeling handle of all the knives I own. I also ran a piece of paracord through the sheath and cut down the noise.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

I’ve considered that knife in the past but never went ahead and purchased one. I’ll pass on it since that role is filled by my Skrama bush knife. The Skrama runs about $30-40 more but it’s the best blade of its type that I’ve used to date. (Including some high end customs)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors I have some really nice large customs, some I have made and some not, I also have some nice productions from Tops and the like. But there is a certain value in a tool that I can consider expendable as well. But I feel you bro. Some blade are just like old friends that can never be replaced.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Survivology 101 there is definitely value here. I bring up the Skrama because it’s not much more expensive and has a huge amount of utility. I trust your opinion so I appreciate the review of this knife.

[@2AEnthusiast]

Good review. I'm looking for a large fixed blade knife, and this one seems like a good fit. The price is also pretty good.

[@tecnotrog1]

I have the older blue handle one I've had it some time now ..and its reliable and really useful. Love mine

[@MichaelQuigley-fy5rc]

Another great video, I subscribed on the last one earlier today. I have a big box full of knives, mostly big choppers like that from TOPS and others. If I come across this knife in my travels I will definitely remember this video and consider it.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

thank you and thanks for the sub

[@MS_249]

The "rattle" in the sheath means, it is wide enough for putting it in an out while working safely like with a quiver. I found out you can stop the rattle entirely by just laying the snap strap back around the beltloop strap. That way there is more pressure on the knife.

[@marksaint2936]

Great solution for the rattle. It works. Thanks for the information.

[@turtle-tank8231]

Love my Kershaw's always had good luck with them

I have a camillus bolo type machete the blade length is 10 inches it also has a recurve blade it has a cheap nylon sheath and I also have a kukri that is also made out of stainless steel

[@Tarsan97]

Absolutely a cool looking knife. It is my experience that many people get a hugh knife when what they really needed was a good field axe. The knife has a sharp point for piercing, the axe not, but beside from that a good field axe can do everything a knife can and off course for chopping an axe is always better

Is the Kershaw Camp 10 worse than the Kershaw 1079 Outcast? The Camp 10 costs around €80 and the 1079 over €140!

[@hildolfrdraugadrottin7279]

Hi Dave, like your channel and since you asked for our thoughts and opinions I thought I'd share mine. I don't own the Kershaw but one of my friends do and left it with my for a couple weeks to play with so I do have some experience with it. In general I think it's a decent blade. It chops well and handles nicely. For the money it's a good deal. I'm into knives, axes, big choppers and machetes and have a pretty good sized collection. I live out in the sticks and have done a lot of wood cutting and machete work most of my life. That being said I thought I'd make a few suggestions as far as big blades and choppers in the price range of your Kershaw. Ontario makes the SP5 and SP10 that are really great choppers and work knives. Plus they are made in the USA which is great especially considering their cost. Cold Steel also makes some great choppers that are about half the price of the Kershaw. I've owned most of their machetes and while the two that come to mind are slightly larger. The magnum kukri and heavy machetes are the ones I'm talking about. Both are fairly lightweight and are extremely efficient choppers for under twenty dollars. I may end up adding that Kershaw to my kukri style blade collection. I used to think kukri blades were kinda ugly till I used one. Now they are some of my favorites.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Thanks for your insight. I have nothing to add, you are correct. Thank you for watching.

[@journeyman7189]

Great review Gunny. Looks like a good one. Nate

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Journeyman 71 Thanks Nate

[@dennisobrien3618]

This knife always interested me, but I already have the Kershaw 1079 Outcast, as well as many other knives in this size range, so it would just be redundant.

[@realitycheck4296]

That new color, we're they trying to make the camp 10 look more tactical? Like an OKC3? I'll keep my black and gray one just cause it looks more campy. Very nice blade design and functional sheath.

[@MakersMovementDIY]

I can't speak for Kershaw but that seems to be the case. I think both versions look good depending on what kit they are paired with....personally I would prefer one in olive. I think that would meet both standards and would look cool also.

[@greywindLOSP]

Survivology 101 It’s crazy! Gerber pulls the same crap with the strongarm. $10-$15 more for coyote over black. I think I’m with the majority on this one, for $50 I’d pay a lil more and go with a skrama. Tan don’t impress me that much! :)

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Truth!

[@blazinghart8150]

It seems to be a very good tool. We wanted to get one for testing and own use but when we realised that it has a fake, plastic (rubber) pommel, which only looks as if it could be used for e.g. crushing the ice but is useless in reality - we decided to look for another camp machete/knife. We do not think that adding a functional tang pommel suitable for crushing the ice is extremely difficult and would significantly increase the costs yet if such feature would be present in this particular knife/machete it would add to it a new dimension of applications. The handle could also be made from micarta or wood instead of this cheap rubber/plastic.even if it would make this machenife or kifete a bit more expensive.
