Pathfinder Knives and Survival Gear at CritPro

Pathfinder is the gear brand developed by Dave Canterbury, one of the most recognized and respected survival instructors in the United States. Co-founder of the Pathfinder School in Ohio and author of multiple bushcraft and wilderness survival books, Dave Canterbury has spent decades teaching practical outdoor and survival skills to students ranging from beginners to military and law enforcement professionals. The Pathfinder product line reflects that teaching background directly, with every knife and tool designed around the real-world field tasks that Canterbury teaches and the practical priorities that serious outdoor and survival use demands.

Pathfinder fixed blade knives are built around the bushcraft and survival principles that define the Pathfinder School curriculum. Full tang construction, high carbon steel blades ground to geometries that excel at carving, fire prep, and camp tasks, and handle designs that work comfortably through extended field use are the defining characteristics of Pathfinder knives. These are not designed as collector pieces or display knives. They are working tools built to perform the specific tasks that Canterbury's teaching has identified as most critical for outdoor survival and self-reliance.

Beyond knives, Pathfinder produces survival gear and field tools developed with the same practical philosophy. For students of the Pathfinder School, fans of Dave Canterbury's books and content, and serious bushcrafters who want gear developed by a credentialed survival instructor with real field experience, Pathfinder is a natural first choice.
