Mankind has been using the ax to shape, split, and cut wood for millennia. The Kershaw Dechutes camp ax is an update on that trusty tool. With its angular handle lines and cutouts in the ax head and knob, it has a decidedly contemporary look. The cutouts also help relieve weight in this full-tang tool. The tan glass-filled nylon handle features textured rubberized inserts for secure grip.
Made of tough 3Cr13 stainless steel, the wedge blade of the Kershaw Deschutes hatchet axe is full tang for extraordinary strength and durability.
A 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. Cutouts in the ax head and knob relieve weight, provide space for wrist-strap and sheath attachment, and make for a versatile design.
Chopping, splitting, or light forestry - from boy scout to professional hunter - the Deschutes is the ultimate bushcraft tool.
The Deschutes measures 14 inches long with a 3.5-inch blade; it weighs just 1 lb. 9 ounches unsheathed, and 1 lb. 12 ounces sheathed.
