No offense to those nifty little knives that the Swiss pack a kitchen into, but sometimes it takes a big blade to get the job done. That was certainly the case three years ago when I found myself in the jungles of Argentina.
I’d heard a tale about lost Inca gold and was on the hunt for clues. Among other things, the Inca were known for their extensive road system that ran at least 25,000 miles along South America’s eastern side. But the clue I was looking for was down a long-abandoned section of road that had been overtaken by the jungle.
That’s when my Pathfinder Blade came to the rescue. Constructed of high-quality 420 surgical stainless steel and with a total length of 16 inches, this full-tang knife made quick work of the jungle brush. And with its rugged handle of genuine, natural white bone that’s been hand-carved and torched with an iconic design, I certainly didn’t lose my grip. Rounded off by brass spacers and handguards, a brown pakkawood handle and hand engravings on the spine of the blade with light hand-file work, this baby is all you could ever handle in the jungle brush.
Upon reaching a stone wall that had been hidden by the jungle, I snapped my knife back into its tooled genuine leather sheath and read the markings the Incas had left long ago. It was time to travel north for the next part of my adventure.
