The knife is beautiful! Second one is as good as the first!
6th Dawson purchased. Three were gifts. I'd like to say the Steadfast is my favorite - but each serves it's purpose. So it's a three way tie. The Steadfast is super sharp out of the box. The blade is perfect for my woods time and for a chore or two around the house. The Ulti Clip is a nice added touch. Like my other Dawson's it's like it is custom fit to my hand. I'm pretty sure all my future fixed blades will be Dawson.

Not too big and not too small. Perfect, solid weight for a perfect, solid knife. The hamon heat treatment on the blade is beautiful and really brings it out. I got this for my father for Father’s Day and when I received it, I almost kept it for myself because it is such a great knife. As soon as you hold it in your hand you can actually feel the quality of the entire knife. My dad was very thankful and I could tell he really likes it. I’m getting him to switch from folders to a good fixed blade for EDC. Fixed blades really are the way to go with a god quality low profile sheath, which is included. Dawson did an excellent job designing and creating the Contractor especially with the .200” thickness. This knife can take a beating and any like nothing happened. Anyway, I bought one for myself too after I have this one to my father. I just ordered a Companion too, which is a bit smaller than the Contractor. Dawson is definitely my favorite knife maker as I’ve bought 4 Dawson knives in the last week. Keep up the good work guys, and thank you!
