Kershaw's fixed blade lineup covers the spectrum—from hunting and fishing to tactical carry and camp work. Unlike their folders, these knives skip the mechanisms and pivot points in favor of full-tang construction and straightforward reliability. Whether you're processing game in the field, filleting your catch, or need a dependable neck knife for EDC, Kershaw builds fixed blades that get the job done without breaking the bank.
The Deschutes series tackles game processing with purpose-built designs. The Skinner features a contoured polypropylene handle with olive rubber overlay, thumb ramp, and finger choil for control during field dressing. D2 tool steel holds an edge through extended use, and the stonewashed finish hides the inevitable scratches. A gut hook version adds functionality for hunters who want that feature. The Caper handles detail work around the head and neck with a smaller profile and full-flat grind.
For camp and bushcraft work, the Camp 5 brings Bowie-style blade geometry in a full-tang package. At over 5 inches of blade, it's built for chopping, batoning, and general hard use. The Pack Mule steps up to USA-made construction with N690 steel, G10 scales, and a Kydex sheath—a premium option for those who want domestically-produced gear. The Atreides offers a tactical tanto design with 65Mn steel and removable rubber overmold, bridging outdoor utility and tactical applications.
The Clearwater series runs 420J2 stainless steel with the right amount of flex for filleting. Available in 7-inch and 9-inch blade lengths, these knives feature co-polymer handles with neon highlights so you can spot them in a boat or on a dock. They're affordable, functional fillet knives that do exactly what they're supposed to do. Kershaw also offers curved fillet knives in 9-inch and 12-inch lengths, plus narrow fillet options and a 7-inch boning knife with integrated spoon—covering the full range of fish and game processing needs.
The Secret Agent boot knife brings 8Cr13MoV steel in a 4.4-inch spear point with black oxide coating. Glass-filled nylon handle with rubber overmold, dual-carry sheath with belt clip and leg strap slots. It's model number 4007 for a reason. The Brace is a compact neck knife with a 2-inch blade, jimping, curved guard, and a handle cutout for alternate grip options. At 1.6 ounces with the sheath, it disappears around your neck but stays accessible. The Steppe offers a mid-sized fixed blade with D2 steel for those who want something between a neck knife and a full camp knife.
Kershaw's fixed blades aren't trying to be custom pieces. They're production knives built to handle real work at prices that make sense. The materials are appropriate for the task—8Cr13MoV and D2 for most models, with upgrades to N690 on premium options like the Pack Mule. Sheaths are functional Kydex or molded polymer with retention systems that work. Whether you're field dressing an elk, cleaning fish at the dock, or carrying a backup blade, Kershaw's fixed blade lineup delivers tools that perform without the premium price tag.
