A comment on a BirdshotIV Kershaw Camp 5 video prompted me to test my Camp 5 out. It performed much better than I expected.

Well, that was fun! lol makes us want to buy another Camp 5 :D
Maybe we should send ours back to Kershaw, see what they say...
:) Why not? They wouldn't say "no" to you guys.
@ 1:17 , too me, it looks like it's binding up/twisted in a 'knot' . That's a pretty thin blade for a knot :-) ...
@@Jimislash hahhh..:).or would they?...time wil tell
For D2 to chunk out like yours it had to have a a bad imperfection in the steel. I once had a blade crack from just a little carving on pine. It happens. I'm sure the Kershaw warranty department will just replace it.
it would be informative to your viewers @birdshotiv to not only see the process of the warranty, but also to confirm if it really was just a fluke. cuz that's about bad enough to make this knife be discontinued before it even gets off the ground. i love the blade profile. it looks beautiful. i was surprised to see this video, considering how disastrous yours was. (but now i see why, cuz the comment is priceless)
i like it other than it's made in China . back in the day Kershaw was American made , when and if they move manufacturing back to the U.S. i will start giving them my business again .
keep up the good works Brother
:) Thank you for watching. Keeping on. :)
Try one from the launch series, man. Protech quality, damn near
They should definitely make a non budget version of this blade too, its just a nice sleek design. And the ergos look great.
Ooooo...nice idea. What steel?
@@Jimislash depends if i went non stainless id probably go 4v or if stainless id probably go k390. Cuz a knife that size doesn't have to be uber tough. But its thin so it needs to be fairly tough.
It's the perfect size for a camp knife IMO & at only 4mm spine thickness is also just right, I don't like super thick blades or huge knives anymore. D2 is one of my favorite knife steels & when it's done right it rivals S30V.
It's an overlooked knife. Thank you.
Not all camp knives are made for chopping and batoning. After what you put it through I'd say it is quality piece of D2.
I agree with you.
“An elephant with mange...” 🤣😂 I’d definitely say you beat the mess out of it. Interesting how much better yours held up compared to the one Birdshot had. I’d be curious to know if over there long run, that chunk breaking out in hard use is an anomaly or pretty common among all of these D2 Camp 5 knives that Kershaw has produced so far. Everybody gets a bad blade occasionally, but D2 seems to me like not the best choice for a knife that will undoubtedly be batoned through wood by many owners. And, I generally really like D2. It’s a great looking knife, for sure. Hopefully the chunk breaking out was just a fluke thing and most will be more like yours. Great video, as usual.
I have heard he hit a knot. I imagine they'll get a redo from Kershaw on that one. I am not too steel savvy. What is the problem with D2 for that type of knife? And thank you. :)
Jimislash I’m no steel expert, but I don’t think D2 is particularly known for toughness. Abrasion resistance, yes. Toughness, not necessarily. For pounding through wood and other hard materials like that, usually companies doing mass production (and even smaller production companies like LT Wright or the like) will use something known for toughness (possibly sacrificing edge retention) like a carbon steel such as 1095/1085/1065/etc., or more exotic tool steels like 3V/4V (which seem to have it all). I think the general thinking is that it’s better to use something that might have some edge deformation (rolling, etc.) rather than something that is more brittle like D2 with a chance of sustaining a fracture like happened to the one Bird was using. That being said, with a really good heat treat and if the blade is ground a little thicker behind the edge for better edge stability, D2 might be an excellent choice. Just seems like an odd choice for a knife being made in large numbers at a budget price and one that will very likely get some hard use with high impact forces and probably sideways loads on the edge as it is driven though a piece of wood. Again, that’s just my take on it. There are many much more knowledgeable people when it come to metallurgy for knife blades, and they may let me know that I’m an idiot and completely off-base. 😁
Hey... It's been a while. My dad passed away just over a week ago and have had a lot of stuff to do. Anyway will be tuning in more often again now. Thanks for the great review. Looks like a great knife.
I am sorry to hear about your dad. No worries on this end. Take care of you and yours. We'll be here.
I had a Leatherman with a bad heat treat. They exchanged it. This could be the same situation with Kershaw. Some blades just turn out better than others.
Definitely.
Not bad, def use that more in the kitchen. Great look, thx!!!!
Thank you...definitely a lighter user than log chopper. :)
Great video! For a more budget friendly Kershaw, I'm impressed.
You and me both!
I think you just have mad skills lol
Hell yeah. Holding up pretty well. Good review, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! It took a good beating.
coolest intro in the knife community
:) Thank you!
Maybe birdshots knife had a bad heat treatment !!!! Not all blades are the same . Love the show 👍
:) Thank you! I bet it was something like that.
That held up way better than Birdshot IV's! lol In their defense, he wasn't doing anything harder to his than you did to yours. I think they may have had a bad one. Who knows.... Great video
:) Thank you.
Looks like a great work/camp knife.
It will do some work, for sure.
You hit the nail on the head when you said YOURS performed well. D2 is too hard to heat treat for consistent mass production results. People should stop saying it's great so companies stop offering it.
I've heard that about a number of steels.
I wish production knives wouldn't use elmax cause no one can get the heat treat right either.
The Maddest!
Great test! Or should I say work out lol Arm feel good after hammering that blade?
A little old man ache in the elbows. :)
Condor Hudson Bay or Kershaw Camp 10?
Condor.
Like it, functional design
Definitely functional. It makes a lot of sense as a user.
I would say you legitimately beat the snot out of that knife.
I gave it a go. :)
I like it but not for 60 bucks
Why are you being so difficult? :)
Nice worker looks like. Damn them steaks would have made great beef jerky strips
I like the way you think.
Hey Jimmy, when you want to sell knifes where do you list them?
I go to Facebook or Blade Forum...sometimes Reddit.
@@Jimislash Thanks, I am getting rid of my Benchmade's, after I bought the Italian 4 max and spartan everything else feel inferior.
I recently got a Buck Talon and even though I am not the outdoors type I really like it because of the shape and it is just generally badass looking. :)
That is an awesome looking blade. I have a TOPS that looks a lot like it.
@ 1:17 it looks like he may be in a knot...
I’ve got one and can’t fault it !!! Easy to use but not for big jobs and yes the steel is very hard 👍but when I want something with well just more I use my ESEE 6 which is a full weapon 😁👍
Oh, you can't beat that ESEE 6. Very nice.
I like the knife but I'm done buying from china
A lot of folks feel that way. It's understandable.
They need to put it over to Taiwan
Bird coulda tried to ram it through a big knot
That's what I hear.
cut..that..meat.... cut...that...meat...
