Kershaw Deschutes-Caper Fixed Olive 3.3In Stonewash D2 Steel Clip Point KS1882

Built for precision in the field, the Kershaw Deschutes – Caper Fixed Blade is a go-to knife for hunters who demand control when it counts. Designed by Kershaw Originals, this compact fixed blade is purpose-built for caping and detailed work around the head, neck, and joints of wild game. At just 7 inches overall, it fits naturally in hand without sacrificing cutting power or maneuverability.

The 3.3-inch D2 steel blade delivers the edge retention and hardness hunters expect. Its full-flat grind and clip point shape make it ideal for delicate slicing, while the stonewashed finish helps hide scratches from repeated use. This is a working blade—made to get bloody, rinsed off, and do it all over again. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 59–60, it's tough enough for demanding cuts yet sharp enough to manage finesse jobs.

The handle is built for control in slick conditions. A lightweight polypropylene core provides structure, while an olive green rubber overlay enhances grip. The ergonomics are dialed in, with a finger choil for choking up and a thumb ramp for added stability. Whether you're navigating tight spots or applying pressure during skinning, the Deschutes – Caper stays secure in the hand.

Durability and carry convenience are equally considered. The full-tang construction gives this knife its strength, and the included molded sheath keeps it protected and ready. With webbing slots, a drainage hole, and a removable belt strap, the sheath adapts easily to field conditions and gear setups.

Though the Deschutes – Caper is manufactured in China, its design, prototyping, and quality control are all handled in the USA. That blend of global manufacturing and American oversight brings together performance, reliability, and value in a blade that's meant to work.

Hunters, trappers, and serious outdoorsmen will appreciate the balance of strength and finesse this knife offers. It's compact, dependable, and tuned for one of the most demanding tasks in the field—breaking down your harvest cleanly and efficiently. Visit SMKW to get your knife today!
