Fixed-Blade Knife with Leather Sheath by Buck Knives - Model 105 Pathfinder

Aaron R.: Steel sharpens easily and will take a very sharp edge, but it will dull after a few uses. Buck makes great knives especially at the price point. Would not hesitate

Alaska guy: I’ve got the 6”-119 & it’s a good knife, but kind of large for a daily carrier. This 5”-105 is a much more suitable choice. I still want the the 4” however.

Jeff: Very nice general purpose knife (#105 wood/brass), sturdy, great value and US made! I already have Buck Vanguard (4" skinning, rubber grip) and 119 Special (6", black phenolic grip) knives. First off, this is very well built, solid and well executed. Very surprising for a US made knife of this quality to be in this price range. I can't think of any US competitor that builds as nice of a knife as Buck for anywhere near this price. So you get way more quality than fair to expect at this price. Second, I really like the wood grip versus the black phenolic resin, especially in this smaller knife, because it gives it more weight and perfect balance. And it looks great. The blade was pretty sharp out of the box and touched up easily or a final edge with a extra fine diamond "stone" and honing steel. Buck steel is darn good for production knives: shapes reasonably easy, holds an edge, and is tough. Another fine example of the well earned American outdoor tradition of Buck knives.

The 105 Pathfinder has a 5" long blade that has a somewhat narrow belly, but sturdy blade thickness. Compared to specialized skinning knives or larger models it looks narrow but it is actually plenty for...

Jordan: I got this as my first hunting knife as I wanted something to dress small game and fish, with the ability to do something larger down the road. Knife feels very robust and I hardly notice it on my hip when hiking/camping, and the leather sheath is very aesthetically pleasing too. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a small and functional fixed blade knife

Hawkeye09: If you have big heavy hands this knife is excellent. It is a bit heavy which is what I wanted to get, but it is razor sharp out of the box and holds an edge for a long time. I had the same model of knife, almost identical except it was a size smaller and I gutted and skinned 4 elk with it without touching a stone to the edge. It is a fantastic hunting knife which can also be used for fishing. One feature I really appreciate is the sharp point which is useful for poking holes in the hide of an animal for skinning when your hands are tired. Highly recommend this to any outdoorsman.

TheGDog: UPDATE 11-16-2015 : While I cannot get this knife to "feel" as sharp as the other Bucks I have... I had the occasion to use it somewhat on my first deer recently. Though I boned-out most of that deer with a Havalon Piranta replaceable scalpel blade type of knife... I needed something tougher to get in-between some neck vertebrae to remove the head of the deer. Mostly because I'm newer to this, I'm sure. The shape of the 105 lends itself well to that task. If I remember right I also used this knife to cut off the backstraps of the deer since you must follow along the vertebrae to where they connect with the ribs dragging the blade somewhat across (though parallel with) the bones and didn't want to try doing that with the scalpel bladed knife. Also in kitchen work this knife seems to work very well at butchering meat when precision is needed. I did not use this knife for the skinning of the deer (so I cannot comment on that, though I now believe it will work fine for that) and only used it to remove the backstraps and neck muscles. I can definitely state that the shape of the blade lends itself well to removing the muscles from the bone... in the dark of night...under the light of a...

Drad: A real classic, probably the best hunting knife under 200 bucks! It will do anything that have to be done while hunting, fishing or hiking : Excellent for cleaning prey up to elk or moose; quite good for cleaning fish (102 is a bit better for small trout or the like and Case 379 is even better); can be used with no problem for small camp chores; make an excellent knife for food preparation and can be used with confidence in a survival situation (any good quality knife could do that if you have the know-all). A comment a bit silly but the look of that knife is really great! Being made of hard smooth material, the handle could be a bit slippy with blood or slime but the little guard make it safe enough to prevent any bad cut.. It keep a real good edge and it's easy to restore it with a ceramic or diamond stone (I never use caborundum or carbide things that are far too agressive). It is not a knife for Rambo guys or destruction specialists but it will not let you down if used as a fine knife is intended (like NOT batonning 10'' logs). The closest competition come from Case 381 (also made in USA). Kabar 212321 (which is made in Taiwan) is a close competitor but not on par with Buck or...
