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. When he returned to full time knifemaking about 1988, it only took him a year of making highly finished knives to decide that what he really wanted to do was make the kind of knives he makes today. A Dozier knife will work all day, and still have a better edge than most knives you can buy. Each Dozier fixed blade knife includes the finest Kydex® sheath in the world, fitted to your knife.
This handsome handle material, a light brown (or natural) Rucarta™, is very strong and very durable. Bob has chosen to use it on his Slim Outdoorsman. Hand ground from high-carbon, high-chrome D2 tool steel, hardened to 60-61 Rc., it will hold an edge and out cut anything you are likely to compare it to. With a 3-1/2" satin finish blade (less than 3/16" thick), it has a total length of 7-1/2" and weighs 3.3 oz.
We have arranged with Bob to add our jigged bone scales to the Dozier Slim Outdoorsman. The Slim Outdoorsman is hand ground from high-carbon, high-chrome D2 tool steel, hardened to 60-61 Rc. It will hold an edge and out cut anything you are likely to compare it to. With a 3-1/2" satin finish blade (less than 3/16" thick), it has a total length of 7-1/2", and weighs approximately 3.3 oz. It is then hafted with beautiful, rich brown, jigged bone and fitted into a Dozier horizontal Kydex® Belt Sheath. Still available with black Micarta® handle.
