Buck 105 Pathfinder

Description

Buck 105 Pathfinder
Classic, rugged fixed-blade utility for outdoors and fieldwork.
The Buck 105 Pathfinder is a 5 inch modified clip-point fixed-blade knife made in the USA and built to serve as a versatile all-purpose outdoors tool.

Product Description
A medium-sized fixed-blade knife designed for hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a sturdy, dependable blade without excessive bulk. The 105 Pathfinder features a 5.0″ 420HC stainless steel blade (version with this steel) and comes with a genuine leather sheath for belt carry.

Key Features

• Blade length: 5.0″ approximately — ideal for field tasks, camp use, and general utility.

• Steel: 420HC stainless steel blade (in standard version) — offers a strong balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.

• Blade style: Modified clip-point with hollow or high hollow grind depending on variant — good for slicing and detail work.

• Handle material: Black phenolic

• Overall length: Approx 9 1/8″ (9.125″) — a manageable size for carry while providing leverage for heavier tasks.

• Weight: Around 4.3 – 4.5 oz in phenolic version — light enough for comfortable carry yet solid in hand.

• Sheath: Genuine leather belt sheath included for secure carry out of the box.

• Made in USA — Buck’s tradition of domestic manufacturing.

Why It Stands Out
The 105 Pathfinder offers an excellent middle-ground fixed blade: larger than small hunting/dressing knives but not oversized for everyday carry or general field use. Reviewers describe it as “a piece of American knife-making history that still performs admirably today.” Its classic design, reliable materials, and balanced size make it a dependable tool for a broad variety of outdoor tasks.

Perfect For

• Hunters who want a versatile secondary (or primary) field blade for game processing, camp tasks, and overall utility

• Outdoor enthusiasts, campers, backpackers who need a fixed blade that’s neither too small nor too heavy

• Anyone seeking a USA-made fixed blade from a reputable brand with proven history

• Traditional knife fans who appreciate classic materials and knife design
