The Kershaw 1083 Camp 5 is a robust, blade-forward Bowie-style knife, perfectly designed for your upcoming adventure. This knife, with its fixed-blade and full-tang, is ideal for anything from survival and camping to bushcraft and any other outdoor activity. The choice of D2 blade steel is perfect for such a high-usage knife. This high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel offers impressive edge retention and hardness, and even outperforms other high-carbon steels when it comes to corrosion resistance.The handle scales on this knife are made of glass-filled nylon with a machined texture, ensuring a firm grip. Kershaw paid keen attention to the molded sheath as well: it features a double retention system for superior security, even when worn upside down. Despite this, the tab release provides quick and easy access to the blade when it\'s needed the most.
