For millennia, mankind has been using the axe to shape, split, and cut wood.
The camp ax Kershaw Deschutes is an update on that trusty tool.
With its angular handle lines and cutouts in the ax head and knob, it has a contemporary look - but function meets form 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.
No thrown ax heads here.
The extended bearded design of the blade helps the user accomplish carving tasks, such as cutting kindling, without sacrificing the heft and swing needed to split logs.
Although it's a solid piece of equipment, it's lightweight, featuring angular cutouts that double as carrying aids.
The Kershaw Deschutes was made to be essential equipment for the modern camper - and it will fulfill that important role.
