The Kershaw 1077TAN Camp 10 is a full-tang machete built for the serious work of backcountry camping, land clearing, and survival situations. With a 10-inch blade of 65Mn carbon steel and a black powder coat for corrosion resistance, this is a tool that handles repetitive chopping, slashing, splitting, and scraping without complaint. The black-and-tan color scheme isn't just aesthetics—it's proven field camouflage that hides the dust and wear of hard use. Whether you're clearing brush from a trail, batoning firewood, or processing kindling for camp, this machete delivers the balance of reach and control that separates a working tool from a shelf ornament.
The full-tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle, delivering uncompromised durability and reliability when you're putting real force behind every stroke. The glass-filled nylon handle features a rubberized overmold that provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet or gloved. That matters when you're working in brush or low light, where a dropped blade becomes a safety hazard.
Kershaw includes a glass-filled nylon sheath with gear straps and belt loop, so you can secure the machete to a pack or hip for transport between jobs. The sheath design keeps the blade protected and ready to deploy without fumbling.
