The Wayfinder.
A compact, hard-use fixed blade built for camp, the truck, and the backwoods.
A Rugged, Versatile Tool for Real Field Work
The Wayfinder is the knife you reach for when you’re setting up camp, breaking down firewood, cooking over an open flame, repairing gear, or tackling the unexpected jobs that show up miles from pavement. It also shines as a reliable hunting knife — built for field dressing, precise cuts, and the kind of controllable geometry you want when things get messy.
It’s built to live on your belt, in your pack, or in the glovebox of the rig — always ready, always capable.
With Walker Knife Co., you’re equipped to handle the unexpected.
Materials & Construction
-
Blade Steel: NITRO-V — a tough, high-performance stainless known for edge stability, corrosion resistance, and dependable field durability.
-
Hand-ground blade for precision geometry, consistent cutting performance, and the character only hand-finishing delivers.
-
.150" spine thickness for serious strength without unnecessary bulk.
-
CNC-machined Contour-Grip G10 handles, precision cut in-house for exceptional ergonomics and reliable traction in any weather.

CNC-machined, hand-finished Kydex® sheath with perfect retention, a slim footprint, and rock-solid durability.
A Complete Carry System
Your knife is only as good as how you carry it — so the Wayfinder comes with a sheath system built to outperform. Our Kydex sheaths feature best-in-class retention, refined mold geometry, smooth draws, and a low-profile design. Paired with our variety of mounting solutions — belt clips, pack clips, MOLLE-compatible attachments, and more — you can run the Wayfinder exactly how your day demands. On the belt, on the pack, horizontal, vertical, or tucked away for truck carry: the system adapts to you.

FAQ
First off - we always offer free sharpening, just give us a shout and we'll set you up. Otherwise, no matter what the steel is we say the same thing. Feel free to use any preferred sharpening system or method BUT be sure to stay clear of any mechanical device. Never use anything with belts, motors, or an on/off button. Stay clear of the cheapo "pull through" style sharpeners too. Your best bet is a good stone and a little practice. Sometimes all your knife needs is a strop, so be sure to try that first.
Quite litterally, in a shed. We're a tiny little business in Wyman, Maine and we make all of our knives by hand in a small shed. Your continued support will help us grow into a real shop before long and we're incredbily grateful for that. We use some CNC machining when it makes sense (that's in the basement of our house too), and we outsource as little as possible.
