The Irenaeus is an exquisite piece. It's exceptionally well balanced and the modern interpretation of the pugio design is quite attractive. The team that I corresponded with as my purchase was processed was beyond helpful and accommodating. Excellent transaction. Thank you!
I own over one hundred knives, both folders and fixed blades. I have been looking for a long time for a quality fixed blade knife with a hollow grind. With Dawson Knives I finally have found it. Top quality steels, heat treat and fit and finish are what I found to be true with their knives. I now own 6 of their knives and enjoy using them in outside work and even day to day with the smaller Contractor model.
If you are on the fence about purchasing - don't be - they are excellent!!!!!!!

This is an awesome knife, feels great and easy to carry. I’m hoping they release a leather sheath for it soon
Maybe large for some but I find that this knife is exactly what need to carry with me daily. Sharp as a razor but super study behind the edge so you have confidence no matter what you are doing. I am happy I was able to still get a ProCut model since I have no plans on babying this knife. Time will tell on the durability of the edge and its ease of re-sharpening but I have a feeling I will not be disappointed. This feels like the first purchase of many.
Clean and natural. This is awesome!
What an awesome knife! I prefer to EDC a fixed blade during daily ranch chores and this is the perfect size. Never in the way but always there. Not too big but robust and handles everyday chores with ease. Phenomenally sharp and has stayed that way. Feels really good in the hand and has jimping on the spine in just the right places for detail work. Very happy with it.
