Called in here at Dawson knifes whilst looking for a good knife while on holiday in USA, thought it would be a shop and have knifes on display, although the young lady on reception siad there was no showroom she got a me a selection of knifes to have a look at. after choseing an Oucast we were asked if we like like too have a tour of the factory.
A top quality knife and excellent customer service.
4.5 stars overall. Form and function are AMAZING but there are a few details needed to make it 5 stars, IMO.
1. Finger choil is a bit small and likely won’t fit hands larger than medium size.
2. Sheath isn’t good, could only get two fingers on the handle and a simple modification corrected the issue. Could be addressed by the factory.
3. Grind on the blade is pretty uneven/not symmetrical, but it’s still extremely sharp.
4. There is branding and labels on both sides of the blade which draws the eyes, it’s not subtle and detracts from the presentation and how nice the blade actually looks.
In my quest to find the perfect EDC knife, this one sure fills all of the criteria. I’ve got large hands and its handle is just perfect in my hands. It fits very well and I’ve been using it like crazy. I did switch out the ulti clip for one that I can do horizontal carry because the clip it came with wouldn’t work for that.
I also love that the Gospel is right there on the knife. Great reminder to me and other folks that see it.
