has anyone tried this with this: Kershaw Machete/Camp Knife (18-Inch)

No it does not fit. Sticks out about 2 inches but the real problem is that the point puts a nice hole out the bottom of the sheath.

It fits US issued machete well and those are a bit cheaper than the kershaw.

The machete is almost too long for the plastic inside the sheath and the point isnt well guarded. My thought on that kershaw would be to try and fabricate some sort of kydex sheath. I would be afraid it would be too long and it poke through the bottom of the molle sheath. Hope this helps!

No, but Amazon recommends two different ones. The "Ontario Knives 22B 22" Blade Lightweight Machete Sheath" is around $11 and a good value.

I have used with both 2-2.5 inch pocket and paring knives. Works great although specific handle shapes, thumb studs, etc. may require popping the guide off and free handing.

Yes. I took this knife as backup while boar hunting with my brother. We ran into a little more than we could handle, my brother reminded me of this knife and after using it....I would absolutely consider adding this to YOUR collection.

I don't find the handle small. I have small hands to begin with. I think it's sized correctly for its purpose as EDC knife.

in theory yes, but the handle is too short and close to the blade. I cannot recommend this tool :0[

I don't have any experience with the ZDP189. I own and have been carrying the VG-10 which serves me just fine. I've only had it for a few weeks during which time I've used it to open a dozen or more cardboard packages, and several plastic clam-shell packs. It's also sliced a few apples (kind of a trick with such a short blade, but easy once you've done it a few times), made shavings and fuzz sticks for a camp fire, cut a bunch of paracord for tarp tie-outs, and probably dozens of other small cutting tasks that I'm forgetting about. . . I usually find several tasks for it just about every day. So far I haven't needed to sharpen it. This morning I used it to brake down a large cardboard box to pieces small enough to fit into our recycling container, and it cut better than a utility knife. Hopefully this will give you some idea of the edge holding ability of the VG-10. I'm definitely not a steel snob or steel junkie. . . I still use my original Dragonfly with the AUS-8 steel, and have never found a reason to complain about it either. Personally, I'd say save a bit of money and go with the VG-10 unless you expect it to see some very heavy use.

While it's a good knife for self defense (or even just the appearance of it) I would NOT recommend it for camping. A tactical knife that's thicker and sturdier with some serration would be better.

I wouldn't do it. It isn't that kind of blade, more of a hunter/skinner type. There are many good blades out there that will do that, starting with a decent machete.

The KYDEX sheath that comes with the TOPS B.O.B. knife will work with it. Just remove the tin clip, which I find uncomfortable anyway, drill the holes and attach.

I have not used this one. I returned it and bought the Condor El Salvador machete. It costs more but the quality is excellent. It is definitely worth the money. Hope this helps.

I have had terrible luck with the pocket axes (made outside of Sweden for an ungodly amount of money). In fact I have had better luck with cheap "bushknives" doing baton work than I have had with a pocket axe. I have an aunt who lives in the rockies of Idaho, and we've given up on all but a kellam puukku for camping with one of these to do all that we ask. If you carry anything less than a 2.5 lb forester's/youth's axe, this is the way to go. Or just give up on the axe and get a good baton ready knife at a 3mm thick blade or more. Mora knives can do that job.

just look at the angle and that should tell you why. like trying to cut with the back of your knife . kershaw recomends 18 to 22 deg. bob r.

No ,I have not had any Problems with it except, getting it broke in,and used to it so no problems with the knife at all blade seems to keep a good edge it is my edc

I haven't. I haven't been using it very heavily, but this is a very big knife. I don't see it being a problem unless you throw it at something or stab something harder than wood

How well does it work on pocket knives with less than a 3-inch blade? With much difficulty...that's for sure. I have a Buck 1" blade pocket knife that I keep on my key chain. I free hand to sharpen this blade without using the sharpening guide. I'm not as proficient as I'd like to be using the WSKTS-KO. Never the less, omitting the guide when sharpening this particular knife suffices for me. Good luck.

This knife will take whatever you can throw at it. It is part of my edc however if its a camp knife that your looking for in this price range you might want to look at the Condor tool and knifes Rodan its a well built knife intended for bushcraft
