Even Better Than Expected

I have been buying Dawson knives since the early 80's and have never been disappointed, this Explorer Elite exceeded my already high expectations. I showed it to some of my friends at work and they all jumped on the Dawson Knives website to check them out! You will not be disappointed!

Perfect hunting knife!

In addition to its unique blade design and obviously great looks, the Explorer Elite knife offers everything I want in a hunting knife when traveling in remote areas either on foot or horseback. Unlike more specialized knives, this knife is a do-it-all reliable partner for clearing brush for a spike camp, prepping food, building wind and rain shelters with an ultralight tarp for long hours behind a scoping scope, whether in southern Arizona or Alaska, and cleaning game of course. Razor sharp, durable and trustworthy. If you're on your own or with one other guy, you'll appreciate the Elite Explorer on your hip!

Excellent as always

This is my 3rd Dawson hunting knife. I am a professional hunter with a survivalist streak in me. These knives never disappoint. This new Explorer Elite is a beast and you can tell it was built for work. I will have no hesitation battoning this bad bay through an elk pelvis. As always, service is outstanding and I absolutely love sending money to such a quality, Christian based company. Butch Amlong, Jacksboro Texas

I really like the fit and finish. I love the blade. I look forward to them coming out with a Bowie knife.
