I have purchased many knives, most have been fancy and very costly. I use these knives for outdoor use and camping. I’ve been looking at PKS Pathfinder’s knives for a while now. I finally decided to purchase one that would handle all my camping needs. I needed a work horse. The knife isn’t fancy. BUT! This is by far one of the best knifes I have. I have $250-$300 knives that I don’t even use anymore. This knife has won me over and I’m very happy with my purchase. I’ve used it numerous times and haven’t needed to sharpen it. Feels good in my hand and can handle a work load. Now I only wish I would purchased this knife a long time ago. Great job pathfinder. My only gripe is that I wasn’t able to purchase a sheath. They were sold out. If only each knife came with its own sheath.
I haven't had it that long and it is already my go to knife if I'm just going out and I don't have any plans. Just some hiking and camping.
Great knife…very pleased with knife and the sheath.
As expected from Dave Canterbury, fantastic quality, and craftsmanship. For the money you will not find a better knife. If you are like me and like a traditional look , an old-school feel , this tool will not disappoint. Excellent is another word that comes to mind.
This knife is incredibly well made and came razor sharp out of the box. The full tang blade is very stout and the handle fits my hand perfectly; the ergonomics are really good. The shipping from SRO was fast and the packaging was very good. This knife will be in my hunting backpack every time I enter the woods or the swamp to hunt. This is my first PKS knife and it won't be my last. If you are thinking about buying one, I strongly recommend it. Great knife!

Fits my bottle like a glove. As an added bonus I use it to keep me warm in winter outdoor sleepovers. Fill your bottle with hot water, slip it in the bag, and keep it with you in your sleeping gear...Many therms of warmth for several hours!
I could not be happier with this purchase. As other items I have from SRO the build quality is above average and solid as a rock.
Pot - Love the bat wing handles. My hands are average and there is plenty of room to fit all 4 fingers in with a glove on. No issues with getting a good grip on it. I have been using it on a canister stove and find that it sits sturdy when cooking since it has a wider bottom than cup type pot. I also like bail it comes in handy to grab it off the stove. I can’t wait to try it over a campfire with a tripod.
Stove – Great match Dave. Good idea to make it a little smaller. If you take it out of its pouch and just use a bandana you can lay it flat on the bottom of the pot and a gas can on top of it with room for the stem. The top will stick up just a bit, but the bag takes care of keeping it all together.
Bag – I like it a lot. It’s built well and should hold up under normal use. It is big enough that you can have the pot and sit a 110g can on top and it closes and does not leave a lot of extra bag flopping around.
Windscreen – It’s HUGE!!!! 12 panels. This thing will have no problem blocking the wind for the stove. Actually, I think it’s large enough to use around one of the square butane stoves a caterer uses. I can see using it as a small campfire heat reflector.
I see another poster mentioned this on the page for the pot alone. “Would love to see a 6-inch version of the camp skillet to go with it.” I agree with them it would make a great combination set / addition to this set.
The Ozark Trail 18oz Stainless Steele cup from Walmart (still only $6.00) nests perfectly inside the 1QT. pot. You can then fill the cup, take the stove out of its pouch, and lay it flat on top of the cup. The lid sticks up just a bit but once it’s in the bag and the gas can is on top of it, it sits snug.
I purchased this mattress to replace the foam mattress in my Canvascutter Bedroll, as the foam was too bulky to properly pack on a horse. This mattress compacts down to half the size, and is just as comfortable. It inflates and deflates properly without the use of a pump. It seems to be constructed very well. Great Mattress!
a awesome piece of equipment to have
As usual 1st class item & service.
