The Kershaw Camp 5 is a rugged, blade-forward Bowie-style knife designed to be the backbone of your next outdoor adventure. Whether you are bushcrafting, camping, or preparing a survival kit, this full-tang fixed blade offers the heavy-duty reliability needed for hard-use tasks. With its classic clip point profile and modern materials, the Camp 5 balances traditional utility with a contemporary, tactical edge.
The 4.75-inch blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a premier choice for outdoor knives due to its exceptional edge retention and hardness. This high-chromium steel provides significantly better corrosion resistance than traditional carbon steels, while the stonewashed finish effectively hides scratches from wood processing and field use. The handle features high-impact glass-filled nylon (GFN) scales with a deeply machined texture for a “locked-in” grip, even in wet conditions. Kershaw also engineered a specialized molded sheath with a double retention system, ensuring the knife stays secure even if mounted upside down, yet remains instantly accessible via a quick-release tab.
