Kershaw Deschutes Caper (1882)

The Kershaw Deschutes Caper (1882) is a lightweight fixed-blade hunting knife designed for precise caping work around a game animal’s head and neck. Its 3.3-inch D2 blade features a full-flat grind for controlled slicing, while a contoured handle with an olive rubber overlay provides a comfortable, secure grip. When detail matters, the finger choil and thumb ramp let you adjust your hold for greater control. An included moulded sheath keeps the blade retained during travel and accessible when you need it.
