Review of the Kershaw Camp 14 and Camp 18

Hey, something that I didn't make!

Saw these at the Kershaw booth when I took a break from manning my table at the Usual Suspects Network Gathering a few weeks ago. These were the first blades that I've paid money for in a long time. The review is kind of long, but pretty thorough, looking at everything from tang design to the sheath, with a fair amount of wood cutting.

A *much* better alternative to the Gerber Gator, Bear Grylls Parang, Camillus Carnivore, and the like.

Great video thank you for taking the time. I think I will be buying one because of your post.

Thanks for sharing and taking the effort. In fact personally it was a very good review. You flowed your dialogue and thoughts well and presented the essentials simply and without fluff. The length could be overlooked if it was this kind of presentation. :thumbup:

When the 14 came out, it was that model that got to me. Looks very Practical/Tactical like a techno lovechild a Filipino itak and a Chinese dao.

Thank y'all!

Thanks for the review. I am really happy with my camp 14. I like more than any other blade I have picked up for a couple years.
The flat grind comes to a super sharp edge and the weight is substantial but not too much.
