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.
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.
Maximize your knife's versatility with GEN 2's new precision milled, interchangeable handle scales upgrade. Exclusively compatible with the GEN 2 Wayfinder. Get yours here.
Backed by an industry-leading warranty and over 50 years' knifemaking experience, the Wayfinder is a stronghold of American quality and craftsmanship.

When it comes to blades, companies usually concentrate on either functionality or a visual work of art. Dawson Knives has decided to do BOTH, with functional works of art.
My husband of 27 years says this is the best gift I’ve ever given him. He was SO excited when he opened it using words like “awesome blade”, “really bad ass” and “let’s get you one too”! He loves that it is super durable, has multiple uses, and will last longer than his lifetime. I think he just found his new favorite store. Thank you Dawson Knives, you’re the best.
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.
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.
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.
Outstanding knife. I've purchased 3 blades from Dawson Knives so far and have never been disappointed. *********

I absolutely love my new smuggler knife. Perfect size to edc. I have larger hands and the handle is very comfortable. I will definitely be ordering a few more models. I also opted for the free engraving and it looks really nice. This knife will probably be passed down to the next generation. Thank you for sharing your skills with the public.
I picked up a Contractor and was blown away with the weight, quality and craftsmanship. The handle fits my hand perfectly and I can't imagine dropping it on accident. Once in my grip, it would become part of my hand.
If I needed to, I could punch this knife through a car door and probably not even scratch the knife.
Overall, this is a beautiful, functional piece of work. I love it.
This is a well made knife. Very sharp and good size for work around the camp site. The blade feels a little forwar d but not so much are to be an issue. It's a great chopper. The kydex sheath is a bit wide but securely holds the knife. The staff at the factory were very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
I would very mIuch recommend this blade.
Very nice knife. I only wish I would’ve known about Dawson knives sooner.
