Breeden Pathfinder

This is the first knife that made me notice Bryan Breedens Knives. The Pathfinder is a hefty but handy fixed blade designed for camp and kitchen use. Made from 01 steel and orange G-10 scales, a signature feature on all Breeden knives. This is a real user friendly workhorse.

Pathfinder Specs:

Steel-o1

Blade Length-5" Full Flat Grind

Thickness-1/8" and 3/16"

Cutting Surface-4 7/8"

Overall-10"

RC-59-60

Pathfinder and PSKK II

Lets start with the handle. Nice big handles easy to grip with gloves.

Compared to the PSKK II it is a full sized knife.

In the hand.

Forward Grip

Choking up with the thumb for push cuts.

You can use this grip for some short chops. It can deliver a nice chop. Best used with a lanyard.

This review will be focused on the ability to cut and what better place to test it then the kitchen?
First some Salmon. It cut through the fish and even skinned well since someone around here didn't want the skin on theirs.

Jalapenos. Not for me!

Apples were up next.

Nice thin slices were easy with the Pathfinder.

You can imagine by now there is a nice patina happening.
So if the wife is a little strange about you buying a new knife tell her its a kitchen knife!

Dayhiking with the Pathfinder.

Very easy to see even with the glare of the sun.

Taking a break after some wood work.

Some closing shots of the Breeden pathfinder.

Here was a little guy looking for his own path.

As always feel free to PM or email me with any questions. Give Bryan a call he is a real nice guy and always has something cooking up.

Washed up? Now you tell me.

There was a purpleish stain on the blade after whittling some green branches that eventually dried and had to be rubed out with some 400 sandpaper.

Yeah, I had just weeded out a bunch of knives and now this. I keep recycling "knife money," buying what I think I will like and turning it over after a while. Every once in a while one "sticks." I would like to try both of these out. If they "stick," a few others will go but I am getting thin on "tradin' stock."
