Kershaw Camp 10 Fixed Blade Machete, 65Mn Steel, Full Tang Handle, Hard Sheath, K1077
[K1077]

Mine is either in the jeep or close to the fireplace/pit. At 3/16" inch thick this thing is as stout as the 1 lb 3 oz suggests. With the ample belly of this design it bites hard into green wood. limbing/trimming works like a charm providing the branch is cut where it meets the tree. This thing is obviously not a hatchet, splitting dry wood is not its purpose. That being said it will split smaller pieces of wood. In the winter this thing is by the fireplace. it works really well at breaking down split fire wood to make kindling, feather sticks and tinder. Beating the back of the blade (battoning) the blade doesn't hurt it at all. I have gone through some pretty knotty wood and have beaten this thing pretty hard and it is still within specification(not bent or chipped).
