This knife has a kind of magic. Before this, I had already purchased over ten fixed blades—I truly believed I would never need another one. But then, one day, I stumbled upon this piece online. The price wasn’t cheap, but ever since that moment, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Its Arizona Copper finish paired with the deep red handle creates a visual that some might call Western—but to me, it evokes the worn elegance of the steampunk era, a kind of noble, leathery patina that speaks to something older and more artistic. It’s a collector’s knife, an art knife, and a legacy piece.
As an artist myself, I asked Dawson to engrave a personal vow onto the blade: “DIE FOR ART.” It’s a heavy phrase, but this knife can carry that weight.
What surprised me even more is how perfectly it feels in hand. The handle is incredibly comfortable—no hot spots, no bite, just a solid, confident grip. The finger grooves lock your hand in place with quiet assurance. It feels safe, balanced, and deeply intentional. Every line of this knife seems to say: you can trust me.
great shirt fit and feel could not be better. now I just need to get the knife
Love the knife. Love the handle and the quality. Do not like she sheeth. It's huge. Wish it was smaller however the knife itself is fantastic
I've been collecting knives for a long time, and this is easily one of the most sturdy and sharp blades I've owned. Will be ordering another knife soon!
Always the best quality from Dawson. Very well made and attractive tool.
Have many many knives and this one is up there with the best
