Part parang, part machete, 100% competent. The new Wayfinder has all the performance advantages of a much bigger (and heavier) blade, blasting through underbrush and cleaving branches up to 1.5" in diameter. But weighing in at just twelve ounces, this trim titan will more than earn its keep while still leaving plenty of room in your pack for other essentials. Lead the way in every survival situation with the Wayfinder.

Crafted from .210" CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, the Wayfinder resists corrosion and staining while holding an edge up to twice as long as comparable steels.

Our American-made G10 handle says, "Aw, that's cute" to rain, snow, mud and just about anything else you can think of. We designed all our handles for secure, comfortable, hot-spot free use in all seasons and textured them for improved grip when the going gets wet. NEW exclusively for GEN 2: Handles are now completely interchangeable!

The Wayfinder also features a completely redesigned GEN 2 Carbon Fiber Kydex sheath, featuring an improved, rattle free fit, horizontal, vertical, MOLLE and beltless carry options and more. Specially designed for compatibility with the included UltiClip 3.3 Slim for secure beltless carry no matter how heavy the terrain.

Backed by an industry-leading warranty and over 50 years' knifemaking experience, the Wayfinder is a stronghold of American quality and craftsmanship.

Second One 👀

After dropping the first down a squat toilet in Riyadh the only rectification was to buy another the same day. It's been worn and used daily since it was gifted, hopefully to toilet Gods are as impressed with it.

Beautiful and functional.

I inspected and tested it out myself when it arrived. Performance was as shown in the videos. Thanks for a “Made in America” product with such high quality.

Another 5 star Dawson blade

Excellent knife. If you’re reading the reviews trying to find a reason not to buy, you won’t find it here. The blade is awesome and performs as you would expect if you’re accustomed with their quality.

Gen 2 Wayfinder

Outstanding knife. I've purchased 3 blades from Dawson Knives so far and have never been disappointed. *********

Wayfinder!

I absolutely loved the blade profile so I had to pick this one up. It is surprisingly light for a solid chunk of magnacut. Thick stock so it can certainly put in work like the video shows. With its profile this blade be great around the camp site and even the kitchen. Beautiful quality per unusual! Thanks Dawson team!

Absolutely Awesome

I have not tried it out in the field yet, but the sharpness, fit and feel are all what you would expect from Dawson Knives. One of the best in the business! Thank you!!!

Best service

Perfect blade for edc

Awesome knife

It was a birthday gift for my husband.
He has many knives but this one he absolutely loves. The outcast has features that his other ones don’t.. I was a little worried about picking him out a knife, but he absolutely loves it. Thank you so much Dawson knives!!

Beautiful and well crafted

This beautifully crafted Shepherd knife should serve me well AS I serve the TRUE Shepherd of my life, Jesus Christ…. whom this blade was named after. GOD BLESS the family of Dawson Knives.

Another Great knife

The contractor is an amazing knife. Ergonomically, it's super comfortable in hand and I appreciate the thicker blade. The blade shape and aesthetic is awesome, and I really like the Arizona copper finish. The balance is a little different than the harvester or the smuggler as it carries more weight up front with the thicker blade, just something I'm getting used to. As an EDC, I've been cycling it through my rotation and it has cut some 1/2 nylon rope, cardboard, wood, dry and wet and a few other odds and ends. It's also the EDC I'd feel most comfortable batoning. Really glad I picked this up.

Love it

I loved it so much I just ordered 3 more! Only thing missing is volume discount 😁

Excellent knife quality

I have now bought two Dawson knives and the quality is outstanding. The handle feels great in the hand. The fit to the blade is excellent. The balance and jimping is just right and the blades are sharp and strong. My only constructive feedback is compared to some other high end knife makers the sheaths, while well made seem to flare out widely causing them to take up a lot of pocket space and make the carry size of the blade a lot bigger. I'd like to see a minimalist sheath design which allows for better EDC.
