DESCHUTES - CAPER

Kershaw Deschutes – Caper (Model 1882)

Purpose-built for precise field work, the Deschutes – Caper makes processing game around the head and neck easier and cleaner. A full-flat-ground D2 blade delivers fine control and long-lasting sharpness, while the contoured polypropylene handle with olive rubber overlay locks into the hand—even when wet. Choke up on the finger choil, use the thumb ramp for leverage, then stow it safely in the molded sheath with secure retention, webbing slots, drain hole, and a removable belt strap. Lightweight, tough, and ready for the next tag.
