Its extended blade excels when reach, slicing length, and material-clearing capacity matter, but it requires more deliberate handling during fine detail work. Customers who primarily carve small notches or perform close camp tasks may prefer a shorter Garberg; those regularly working through larger materials will appreciate the Pathfinder’s added length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel still requires maintenance beneath a protective coating. Clean and dry the blade after use, apply a light coat of suitable oil before extended storage, and avoid leaving it damp inside the nylon sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis knife is ideal for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003emedium to large hands | extended-reach bushcraft | wood and kindling preparation | trail and property clearing | camp construction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed-blade bushcraft and outdoor knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood processing, camp preparation, carving, clearing, and outdoor field work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 11.65 in. \/ 296 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.77 in. \/ 172 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 in. \/ 3.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e C100S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Grind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scandi grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black non-reflective protective coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Flex:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stiff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinger Guard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire-Steel Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheath Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e MOLLE-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morakniv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pathfinder BlackBlade (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 6 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Shipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Morakniv","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46350157578319,"sku":"202015","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/5608\/5583\/files\/green_smoke.png?v=1785869455","url":"https:\/\/midwestnestshop.com\/products\/morakniv-pathfinder-blackblade-c-bushcraft-knife","provider":"Midwest Nest LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
