Selected User Reviews For Kershaw Deschutes ”Bearded” Hatchet Camp Ax, Full Tang, Stainless Steel (1075)
My purpose in purchasing the Kershaw Deschutes 'Bearded' Hatchet Camp Ax was primarily to use it for camping. This is not a good tool to use for chopping large logs, but related tasks such as cutting small branches. The Pros - Featuring a practical size (14 inches long) and weight (1 lb 9 oz) that makes it easy to carry while hiking, backpacking, and camping. The outer tang is completely tangential
- Handles that are comfortable to hold - The knife is supplied with a nylon carrying case and a leather sheath*, so no extra sheath is necessary. This is the perfect tool for home chopping of small wood pieces* I like the sharpness of it. This high-quality product is made from A carbon steel axe already comes sharpened and ready to use out of the box. However, you can make it as sharp or as dull as you like, depending on your needs*. Weight is very evenly distributed. As opposed to other camp axes I've tested, this one does not feel heavy, bulky, or unbalanced. This makes it easy to hold no matter where you stand or where you stand. It is perfect for shaving wood for kindling and carving wood The cons are As a result of the weight and size of this axe, you'll be exerting more energy than necessary cutting and splitting larger logs. Axes are made of high-quality steel because they are strong and durable In order to make it out of carbon steel, it will need The sharpening of knives should be done after every use in order to Please note There is no short answer to this because it depends on your needs A needs analysis. watched dozens of YouTube demonstrations to compare the several hatchets, axes, and tomahawks I had at my disposal and went to some museums to see how they are all made. In local communities Visiting military surplus and camping supply stores will enable you to compare knives. My decision to choose this particular axe is explained by the demonstration videos. On my list, only one axe ranked higher than the other, but because of its high price I did not buy it. It's a great tool for trimming trees and brush, but you don't want to use it for cutting down a large tree. In a nutshell,.
It would be a 0 out of 5 stars if I could! It was too thin and too sharp of a blade, allowing it to break with the material I was cutting in no time. Whenever I need to make a purchase, I'll go to Fiskars It was a very disappointing experience working.
Despite its not being super lightweight, this knife is a very sturdy camp knife! Not meant to be lightweight, this knife works great for campfires and cleaning up around the campsite. Tried to backpack with it but it was too heavy, but it works great for car camping, too.
The user was looking for a small camp axe that could be used for light work. Comparatively, some of the best reviews have been written about this brand. It was this one that I ultimately chose.
The problem is that the blade is too thin, so it lacks sharpness, looks good, and feels great in the hand. Despite the fact that my 12 year old niece had it for 3 months with no issues, after I used it for a few swings, a large piece of the blade edge peeled In all honesty, I would not recommend this if you want to chop wood.
Once again, Kershaw has outdone himself! I love the light weight of this Since I haven't had it very long, I am not sure about longevity, but it is a great product for what I use it for!.
To begin with, one of its main characteristics is its sharpness. Paper can be easily sliced with such a sharp blade. I think it's well made and looks and feels good. It is nice to have a sheath so durable. I am a little disappointed it is made in China, According to the review above mine, it is made from carbon steel, but this is incorrect. Stainless steel is used in its construction. In the description, it even states so. Obviously, stainless steel and carbon steel each have pros and cons. I won't go over them in this article. You can easily find it by searching the Internet. In the process of using this review, I'll edit.
