History is riddled with periods of uncertainty. A wise man doesn't panic, he prepares. Fortify yourself against future challenges with a tool you can rely on, no matter what.

Crafted from premium, American-made CPM-Magnacut stainless steel in heavy-duty .210" stock, the Shepherd features a 3 7/8" blade that is highly resistant to corrosion or staining. Thanks to our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels. 

Our American-made G10 handle says, "Aw, that's cute" to rain, snow, mud and just about anything else you can think of. We designed all our handles for secure, comfortable, hot-spot free use in all seasons and textured them for improved grip when the going gets wet.

The Shepherd also features a completely redesigned GEN 2 Carbon Fiber Kydex sheath, featuring an improved, rattle-free fit, horizontal, vertical, MOLLE and beltless carry options and more. Specially designed for compatibility with the included UltiClip 3.3 Slim for secure carry in the backwoods or around the ranch.  

Maximize your knife's versatility with GEN 2's new precision-milled, interchangeable handle scales upgrade. Exclusively compatible with the GEN 2 Shepherd. Get yours here.

Giveaway Review!

God blessed me by allowing me to be the winner of the Dawson Shepherd giveaway! My dad has a Dawson knife, and I’ve always wanted one too. Looking forward to many hunting adventures with him using our Dawson Knives to skin out deer and pigs here in Texas.

Thanks again guys for the top notch knife!

A hunk of steel!

The quality of this knife is outstanding, without question. I bought the heavier blade for backpacking and a chore knife. I didn’t understand…. lol. The blade is much heavier than anticipated, and will be too heavy to carry backpacking. It will be relegated to my truck as a utility knife. All this said, the quality is great; it’s just the wrong blade for me.

Shepherd and outcast gen. 2.

The Shepard is fine but I was a little disappointed in the outcast- smaller than I thought it was going to be.

Outstanding

Another perfect knife from dawnson! Came sharp as heck and beautiful finish. Im carrying it scout carry and it hides well for me but im also 6'7. This is my 4th and not my last from Dawson!

My Fine GEN 2 Shepherd

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)
