I bought a Shepard and liked it so much I came back and bought a Steadfast which is kind of like the Shepards little brother. Both knives are outstanding! Best handles I’ve ever heard. Blade design of both is top tier. They really put time in designing and producing these blades. Keep it up Dawson!
I am so impressed by the work ethic of this family. I have known them for many, many years and have the upmost respect for their talents and skills.
Oh, and by the way, they make awesome knives.
Truly this knife goes above and beyond. Firstly, it feels amazing in the hand. It feels very well balanced. The finish looks great, the sheathe operates perfectly. This is not your average blade-- it feels like every aspect of its making has been extremely well thought out. It's a very rugged tool, durable and expertly crafted. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Thank you!

Durable and holds an edge for a long period of time. Perfect in home grounds keeping for the man who values precision and hand-safety. I've grown to trust Dawson for all my cutlery needs.
Blade arrived shaving sharp, but running my nail along edge revealed a very minute deficit (chip) in it. I really like the knife, I just guess I expected perfection and got nearly perfect…. It likely won’t affect the utility, but does detract from it as a collectible. I would still purchase another.
My favorite all around blade. I have had 3 Shepards. Gifted a gen 2 and 1 XL. This one is mine and I love it. Fine blade to cut and slice, thick spine to chop. All around great survival knife. Really like the new monsoon finish along with the white and black G10 handle. Knocked it out of the park again Dawson fam. Love the story behind the blade as well. God bless you all at Dawson knives, keep up the outstanding work.
