A.G. Russell Knives

The Dozier Buffalo River Hunter was introduced late in 2005. It is a drop point hunter that was designed for A. G. Russell customers. At the time it was introduced, Desert Ironwood was plentiful. It is a wonderful handle material, but has become increasingly hard to find forcing Bob to look for other suitable handle material. He has found a source of Cocobolo that has as much striking contrast in grain, perhaps more, as the finest Desert Ironwood. Buffalo Hunters are now available with Cocolobo and Green Linen Micarta®. Like all of Bob's standard hollow ground hunting knives, these are hand ground in Bob's shop on grinders designed and built by him.

The knife for the professional packer or guide who works in remote areas and does not want to carry more than one knife. This knife is large enough to do the whole job on any big game animal as well as camp chores. It will also have a good edge when other knives have become dull. Using his standard D2 at 60+ Rc, Bob produces a man sized knife with both the blade and the handle larger than most of his knives.

Bob Dozier has taken on the challenge of making the ultimate Loveless designed drop point which we will sell for about one-third or one-fourth the current market price of a genuine Loveless hunting knife.

To most of the people reading this catalog Bob Dozier's knives speak for themselves. The D2 high-carbon, high-chrome tool steel, hardened to 60-62 Rockwell, really holds an edge and the Dozier Kydex® sheaths that are molded to each knife hold the knife until the owner removes it with the magic release that Bob has designed into it.

This White River Skinner, named for the White River National Forest in Colorado, is as suitable for skinning Beaver as it is for skinning Grizzly or Moose.

The Dozier Arkansas Toothpick is a practical knife with a 3-1/2" blade that is single edged but double ground. You can sharpen the clip portion of the swedge if you are willing to risk the various double edged laws around the country. The ergonomic shape of the handle has been carefully thought out by the maker and offers total control of the knife blade and point.

Bob Dozier has been one of America's foremost makers of handmade knives since about 1968. He makes some of the finest and most practical handmade knives you'll find. For many years, Bob made highly finished knives for sale to the public while making reasonably priced knives for his fellow iron-workers.

If you want the perfect personal paring knife, about the best caping knife you can buy, or just a really great whittling knife, then you are looking at what you need.

Bob's concept of a personal knife is a knife that can be carried day in and day out; a knife that is never in the way but is always instantly available.

The knife for the professional packer or guide who works in remote areas and does not want to carry more than one knife. This knife is large enough to do the whole job on any big game animal as well as camp chores.

This handy little knife is remarkable for its design, its execution, the unusual carrying arrangement and the almost unbelievably low price.

The Bob Dozier Yukon Pro Skinner with Black Micarta® handle and horizontal belt sheath is a knife for the serious hunter, the man who makes his living in the woods. Instead of the traditional leather sheath that would over time get limp and rot, Bob builds precisely fitted sheaths of Kydex® for each knife.

The Dozier Professional Skinner is shaped to perform the maximum skinning job while allowing its use for most other camp chores. This is the knife for the man who wants the very best professional tool available. There will be no knife in the camp that will out perform it at skinning. 7-1/2" overall length with a 3-1/2" blade of D2 at 60-61 Rc.

This is a small personal knife, or neck knife, with the same super edge holding D2 steel Bob puts into his much larger hunters and combat knives. This handy little knife with the canoe shaped handle is ideal for the kayaker or canoeist. Its 2-7/8" straight blade can be used as a small game knife or as a personal all purpose utility knife, suitable for anyone who has a need for a top quality knife of this size.

This is the drop point blade carried to its ultimate conclusion. A knife suited to the skinning of any animal on this or any other continent. The 3-1/2" by 1-1/8" blade of D2 at 60-61 Rc. will flay everything from a small whitetail to a 20 foot salt water crock with the same ease, and will hold an edge beyond your experience. Bob Dozier's personal heat-treat of D2 is fast becoming legendary among knife aficionados (those of us who love knives and great edge holding).

Bob has been setting aside the choicest of handle material for all of the 30 years I have known him. When Bob took a look at just what he had in stick stag, he found that he had something over 100 pieces in his stash. With stag now almost impossible to get, the result was the Dozier Classic. Now that the stag is no longer available, Bob has also fallen into some high quality African Blackwood, and is making the same knife with African Blackwood handle.
