The 1083 Kershaw Camp 5 Knife is a great outdoor utility knife that features a 4.75 inch clip point blade made of tough D2 tool steel with a stonewash finish, a top swedge to lessen weight, and a notched thumb rest for secure grip. The Camp 5 has full tang construction for strength and black GFN (glass filled nylon) scales with machined texturing for secure purchase. A self draining molded black GFN belt sheath with lashing holes and slots is included. The Kershaw Camp 5 Knife has an overall length of 9.125 inches, and it weighs 5.7 ounces; 7.5 ounces with the sheath.
From the Kershaw website: The Camp 5 is a big, blade-forward Bowie-style knife that's ready for your next adventure. This fixed-blade, full-tang knife is ideal for survival, camping, bushcrafting, or just about any outdoor activity. Its D2 blade steel is a great choice for a hard-use knife like this. This high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel offers good edge retention and hardness, while being more corrosion resistant than other high-carbon steels. A machined texture on the glass-filled nylon handle scales provides a secure grip. Kershaw put a lot of thought into the molded sheath, too. It has a double retention system to secure it, even if worn upside down. Yet the tab release lets you get to the blade quickly when you need it.
