PathFinder knife
« on: November 09, 2008, 10:46:28 AM »



So,i thought id start a little thread about this knife ive encounterd,as i havent visited Wilderness Outfitters Archery for a while although i am very intrested in Dave Canterburys way of survival skill teaching and his Youtube videos.

And i have this thread here on Outdoor Edge intentionally as i am intrested of opinions regarding this knife ONLY in outdoor point of wiev,not as puttin it on safe or other way of dust collecting :D

This knife is made out of 1075 high carbon steel,and pretty big,gurkha style blade with 9" of length.
theyre hand forged one at a time.

As i am fan of big raw knifes(can this even be called as a knife :o) im very intrested to get one and i have made just an order to get one.but what do u guys think of this blade,just out of curiocity?

I realise i will be pee“d on cause it aint somethin made out of some hi-tech material and it aint wor whittling toothpicks and other lady-like,so u can leave that whinin off :D.But as a companion to sak and multitool,or combined with small fixed blade i think this might be good fot those harder tasks.

IMO,i think it will be nice splitter when u check out how the blades weight point is just at its tip,and the curved shape of the handle.

I like it because it's looks to be able to everything a Kukri can, ie drawing, spliting, baton ect, but being in a lighter, smaller package :)

My only concern with carbon steel for outdoors use is that the outdoors around here is often wet, and you know what that means.
