The blade and blade butter are both of high quality. I have heard the term " heirloom quality" mentioned when describing Dawson's products. I look forward to finding that out, but as of right now I am well pleased. The only thing I would say Dawson can greatly improve on would be their packaging. That is a small thing and easy to fix. Other than that I will most certainly buy again soon.
I purchased a Companion from Dawson mainly because I wanted to support them. To my amazement I have become a fixed blade believer. For over 50 some years I have always carried a folder thinking fixed blades are for hunters. No, no, old man! I started wearing my new Companion and can’t take it off. A fixed blade is so much easier to carry and much faster to deploy. And the sturdiness of a fixed blade is so much better than a folder. Old dogs can learn new tricks.
Thanks Dawson for opening my eyes!!
Super razor sharp! I can literally shave with it! Build quality is superior
The knife is immaculate. The combination of the wildfire blade with covenant scales (reddish) is a piece of art. I know this knife is functional and capable for everyday use, but I’ve been showing it off and took it with me to Bladeshow 2026. Awesome knife and the first of many more. Great job with your knives and spreading Gods world and love through your talents he’s blessed you with.

Very well explained. I have just ordered one of your Javalina knives, and was interested in the blade and handle composition. Reading about both, plus the bending-don’t try this at home-makes me even more excited anticipating the delivery of this blade. And, at 69, it’s not easy to get me excited. Mike

I’ve studied on blade steels a little for the last few years, and this article is the best simplified explanation on 3V that I’ve read. I appreciate it.

Great article, the knife I’ve been using for years is a Blackjack Tac Ops4 1095 blade that was triple heated with sct and dct cryogenic treatments. It has been extremely tough, holds a good edge and is easy to sharpen. I am interested in a CPM 3V knife but I’m not sure about its difficulty in sharpening in the field. Your blades look awesome but most are sold out, so please email me when they become available.
Thank you
