Description

The Pilot, by Dave Wenger

Introducing the Pilot, a handcrafted fixed blade from Michigan bladesmith Dave Wenger. Built for real-world durability and precision, the Pilot is a full-sized field knife designed to excel in camp tasks, outdoor adventures, and everyday utility.


Key Features

Rugged CPM-3V Blade Steel
Crafted from CPM-3V, the Pilot offers exceptional toughness and edge retention, making it a trusted tool for demanding environments and heavy use.

Full-Size Working Geometry
The 5.25-inch blade paired with a sturdy 0.18-inch blade thickness delivers outstanding strength and cutting performance. Its grind provides excellent slicing ability while maintaining a strong spine and reliable tip.

Ergonomic, Hand-Filling Handle
With a 4.75-inch handle, the Pilot provides a secure, comfortable, and confident grip—even during extended cutting sessions. Contoured G10 or Micarta scales (depending on model) give you traction, comfort, and control in any conditions.

Balanced, Purpose-Driven Performance
Measuring 10.125 inches overall, the Pilot strikes an ideal balance between reach and maneuverability. It feels solid in hand yet remains agile for carving, food prep, and detailed bushcraft tasks.

Custom Kydex Sheath
Each Pilot includes a precision-molded Kydex sheath designed for excellent retention and flexible carry options—belt, pack, rig, or wherever your adventure takes you.
