Kershaw Deschutes Caper 1882 Fixed Blade, D2

Product Description

The Kershaw Deschutes Caper 1882 is a fixed blade knife with a 3.3-inch D2 steel blade. The overall length is 7 inches, and the whole knife weighs 1.7 oz. That makes it small enough to carry all day without noticing it on your belt.

The blade is a clip point with a plain edge and a stonewash finish. It is 0.11 inch thick, and the steel is D2 with a hardness of 59-60. The knife uses full tang construction, so the steel runs through the handle. The handle is polypropylene with a rubber overlay in olive, which gives your hand some grip when things get wet.

Who it suits

The Caper name points to fine work, like caping and skinning game, and the short clip point blade fits that kind of close cutting. It also works as a camp knife for food prep, cutting cord, and general chores. A nylon sheath goes with the knife for carry.

Pair it with a sharpening stone or a ceramic rod to keep the edge up. Game bags, nitrile gloves, and a small hunting pack round out a field kit. A sturdy belt or pack strap holds the sheath well. Kershaw makes this knife in the Deschutes series, and it is made in China.
