Real Steel Pathfinder FAQ

The Real Steel Pathfinder is a dedicated bushcraft folder featuring a scandi-ground blade and a reliable crossbar lock. Designed by Ivan D. Braginets, this series provides a robust folding alternative to a fixed blade for camping and woodcraft tasks.

Can the Real Steel Pathfinder be used for bushcraft?
Yes, the Pathfinder is specifically designed as a folding bushcraft knife with a 3.8-inch blade that is large enough to serve as a primary outdoor tool. Its scandi grind and beefy handle ergonomics make it well-suited for wood processing and harder use when a fixed blade is not available.
What blade steel is used on the Pathfinder series?
The Real Steel Pathfinder series utilizes Sandvik 14C28N steel, which is highly regarded for its toughness and edge stability. This steel choice is particularly effective for scandi grinds because it resists chipping and rolling during demanding carving tasks.
What locking mechanism does the Pathfinder use?
The Real Steel Pathfinder uses a crossbar lock, also known as a slide lock, for secure blade retention. This mechanism allows for easy one-handed operation and keeps your fingers out of the blade's path when closing the knife.
Does the Pathfinder have a true scandi grind?
The Pathfinder features a scandi grind that may include a very slight micro-bevel from the factory to help stabilize the cutting edge. While the factory edge is effective for carving, some users may prefer to strop or slightly adjust the edge to further increase its toughness for heavy-duty woodcraft.
Is the pocket clip on the Pathfinder reversible?
Yes, the Pathfinder comes with a deep-carry pocket clip that is fully reversible for left- or right-handed carry. The clip is uniquely mounted between the handle scale and the liner, which keeps the exterior handle scales clean while ensuring the knife sits low and secure in the pocket.
