Product Description
The Kershaw Deschutes Caper (1882) is the precision instrument of the Deschutes hunting series. While a skinner handles the heavy lifting, the Caper is engineered for the delicate, high-detail work required around the head and neck of an animal. Featuring a full-flat grind, this specialty fixed blade offers superior slicing geometry, making it an indispensable tool for hunters who demand professional results in the field. Proudly designed for maximum maneuverability, the Caper ensures you have the right edge for the most technical parts of game processing.
The 3.3-inch clip point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, providing the long-lasting edge retention needed to get through a full job without stopping to sharpen. The rugged stonewashed finish hides wear and reduces glare, while the integrated finger choil and thumb ramp allow you to choke up for surgical control. The handle mirrors the rest of the Deschutes line with a durable polypropylene core and a "sticky" OD green rubber overlay, ensuring a slip-resistant grip even in cold, wet, or bloody conditions.
