Dotson make some of the most incredible knives I’ve ever owned. I was so fortunate to get one made by their father Barry and that knife is one of those cherished in my collection. I will continually watch their website to see if there’s any new drops because I desperately want one of their collector swords And another knife from Barry if possible. I really appreciate their craftsmanship. And I wish them nothing but the best.
Ordered a Dawson Nomad in the new Pops Procut Steel, with the micarta handle scales, just a couple weeks before my elk hunt. I was hoping the new steel would hold up to the hype, and let me tell you what, it did!! I harvested an elk on day 2 of the hunt, and between my daughter and I, we had 2 other top end knife manufacturers on hand, 3 knives, in 3 different steels including, magnacut and a ball bearing steel, and this Dawson Nomad left them in the dust!! Caped, quartered, and cut up more than 1/2 of the elk with the Nomad before it started showing signs of getting dull, switched to the other knives and wound up going back to the Dawson Nomad to finish because the others weren't cutting it. And yes I sharpened and polished all of the knives to a hair splitting sharpness before going on the hunt. But the Dawson Nomad was by far the sharpest edge I've ever put on a knife. It was also the easiest to re-sharpen in my opinion. This is by far my new favorite knife, hands down!!! Thank you Dawson for making an excellent product!!!
Love my reaper just needed to add some red to it! Great quality product and comfortable in the hand!
First, the reaper is every bit the blade that is advertised. Ive shaved, split, widdled wood, cut rope, and it still holds a razor sharp edge. I'm basically trying to find something that will dull the blade, but I don't know if I can. Lol. However, perfection is but a few ergonomic adjustments away. I believe the knife needs more of an incline on the jimping ramp, and possess the same aggressive jimping and thickness of the contractor knifes g10 handles.
The finish on the steel looks awesome. This is a great looking knife. However, one of the **** sets holding the grip scales on seemed to be too long and wouldn't tighten all the way leaving a gap been the tang and the grip. I took some material off the end of the **** and that seemed to help tighten it properly.
High quality smugglers EDC knife. My new fishing knife. Can not complain about my new knife.
