GEN 2 Outcast | Personal Carry and General Purpose Knife | CPM-3V Steel | Arizona Copper

The fit and finish on this knife was excellent, and absolutely beautiful blade! Incredibly sharp out of the box, appears to be a 600gr edge at a 17° angle, zero edge burr. This knife punches way above its weight for value. I’d say this is hands down the best blade for $ you can buy. The Arizona Copper and Blue G10 scales are a combo made for the big screen.

Not a huge fan of the sheath, retention was lacking. Ended up pulling out the rubber grommet, and having to use a washer to apply enough bending force to the kydex to hold the blade securely without. Not the end of the world though as my fix appears to have worked.

I’m sure this was a 1 off with the sheath I got. On this particular sheath, I’m unable to scout carry, as the width between screws isn’t wide enough to accommodate a normal 1.5” wide web belt. Unfortunate, but I understand why, they made the sheath as narrow as possible. It all comes down to philosophy of use, and I understand. If I had 1 ask for the sheath though, I’d ask for a small thumb ramp to have been molded into the kydex to assist with drawing the blade. This is personal preference, but I think it would make it just a little more comfortable.

Overall though, if you’re on the fence, buy it. They nailed the heat treat, and blade perfectly. I love supporting family focused companies and it’s apparent that Dawson Knives lives what they preach.

As an avid Elk Hunter…when I first saw the add for Dawson Knives…and how it was a family owned, Christian Company…my interest was peeked. A few months later I am the proud owner of one of their quality blades…and I bought another for one of my best friends’ birthdays. The superior workmanship is second to none and I am proud to own a one-of-a-kind. Super company and they have my undying support.

Great little fixed blade. The knife and finish are excellent. Looks awesome, beautiful edge. I am used to folders for EDC but this one is small enough to pocket with the Ulticlip installed on the sheath.
Dawson makes top notch knives at a great price. I have some great brands ( Treeman, Chris Reeves, Busse, SYCO) and Dawson is right up there with them, if not better than some. I have 3 Dawsons in my collection and intend to keep adding more.

Upon initial inspection there was a certificate of authenticity. I read it and they wrote down the wrong handle color color. My handles are red and on the order it says red plus black G10, however the certificate of authenticity says forest camo.

As I am a brand new customer to these knives and hope to be a long-term customer . This gave me the impression that my my knife missed quality control, which again raises all sorts of other questions.

I also noticed the knife handles where they were drilled out had small birds which again raised quality control questions to me. I took the handles off myself and cleaned them out and now it is fine.

Best case scenario I do hope Dawson Knives) contacts me with the correct certificate of city for my knife and they also either fix the knife sheet or sends me a knife sheet that I can at least use more than two or three fingers to draw a knife out in a emergency.

Every Dawson Knife i have bought over the years has been top notch, so it goes with this new Gen 2 Outcast, i love everything about, high quality look, feel and durability, thanks again Dawson Knives for another awesome fixed blade to add to my collection!

Received my Dawson Knives Gen 2 Outcast 2 days ago. It is amazing! The handle is very comfortable, the purchase on the gimping is rock solid and the blade is super sharp. Have you looked at Dawson Knives? All I can say is "They are Bad Ass!"
