Dawson Knives Red and Black Pathfinder PATHFINDERSP

The Dawson Knives Red and Black Pathfinder is built for those who need a dependable blade that thrives in the harshest environments. Whether you're deep in the backcountry or tackling demanding fieldwork, this full tang fixed blade offers a balanced blend of cutting power, toughness, and refined craftsmanship. Rugged, striking, and built to last, the Pathfinder is more than just a tool—it's a reliable partner in unforgiving terrain.

At the core is a 4.5" CPM-3V steel blade, chosen for its outstanding impact resistance and ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge through hard use. The blade features Dawson’s signature two-tone Specter finish with a protective clear Cerakote coating, adding corrosion resistance and a custom, battle-worn look that stands out while taking a beating. This combination not only enhances performance but also ensures long-term durability in wet, gritty, or high-impact conditions.

The red and black G-10 handle scales are as tough as they are eye-catching. Designed for a sure grip, even in gloved or wet hands, the handle provides comfort and control during extended use. The contoured shape fills the hand well, while the textured surface helps keep the knife firmly planted in your grip. Screw rivets provide a rock-solid connection to the full tang construction, and a lanyard hole offers added carry options or extra security during field tasks.

Measuring 9.625" overall, the Pathfinder has the size and reach for both detailed cuts and hard-hitting tasks. It strikes a confident balance in the hand, with weight and ergonomics that make it equally suited for survival, utility, or bushcraft roles.

The included custom-fit leather and Kydex hybrid sheath offers versatility and retention, whether you carry it on your hip or pack. Built to hold the knife securely while allowing for smooth draw and re-sheathing, this sheath system complements the knife’s ready-for-anything design.

Made in the USA by skilled craftsmen, the Dawson Pathfinder reflects over four decades of American knife-making excellence and is built to stand up to whatever comes next. Order it today from SMKW!
