I have owned many different knives over the last 50 years. As fixed blade knives are concerned, this is the best built one of all! I'm amazed at the quality of this knife. This is the one I would take with me in the field, if SHTF! I have a need for a smaller one for carry too. I see another DAWSON around the corner.
I love the size of this knife!!
Solid knife from form, finish and feeling in the hands
Love the look, fit, finish, blade is balanced very well! Look forward to putting it to use!
I have a particular fondness for Santoku knives in the kitchen and this one handles especially well and has an exquisitely sharp blade for fine cutting. While I own several other Dawson blades, this is the first one from their culinary line and I can see myself purchasing more.
This is not my first rodeo with Dawson and as before, I am never disappointed.
I have not taken this outstanding crafted tool out into the world except for some local hiking trips where it stays in my pack. I appreciate the balance, feel in my grip, and attention to a detail in a working steel tool I look forward to using for a long time.
Thank you, Dawson (again)
