Trail-Tough. Field-Ready. Built to Go the Distance.
Whether you're tracking elk through dense pine or prepping some grub at base camp, Woodsman is the knife you want at your side. Purpose-built for the wild, this classic field and camp knife is reborn with extreme edge retention and rugged durability—thanks to premium, American-made CPM-MagnaCut steel.
The Woodsman features a 3 5/8" blade that is highly resistant to corrosion or staining, thanks to MagnaCut's premium features and our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels.
Our USA-made G10 handle stands up 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 Woodsman 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.
Backed by an industry-leading warranty and over 50 years' knifemaking experience, the Shepherd is a stronghold of American quality and craftsmanship.
