Great knives

Think I wrote this review the other day. Absolutely love my two knives just like everything from Dawson way above the norm.

Awesome

What an exceptional piece of American craftsmanship. So proud to own, thank you!

The Outcast

Beautiful knife, blade came sharp.. And I mean sharp right out the box! This will be my new edc for a long time. Thanks Dawson, I can’t wait til my next purchase God bless

Dawson outcast

Absolutely love the knife, perfect for everyday carry to backpacking and hunting. I appreciate the young lady that I worked with to make the purchase with the ability to visit the shop to choose what I wanted. A knife is a very personal item to me and the outcast fits the bill completely. I appreciate the Christian testimony of the company and look forward to more business, especially some different handle colors..😊

Outcast 1 gift

I purchased the outback for my son as a gift after buying a smuggler for myself and loving it. He is in law enforcement and plans to carry it as a backup. He was extremely impressed by the quality of the materials and workmanship. I also would like to say that upon my order being placed online I omitted information needed to complete the order and immediately received a call from a Dawson rep who went above and beyond to help me with the order. Extremely satisfied with the knife and company.

Fantastic blade, mediocre sheath

The blade is awesome. It did come with a little bit of a bur on it still, but that wasn't and issue to hone off. Quality materials and gorgeous craftsmanship. The sheath on the other hand seems like an afterthought. There is some pretty bad rattle in it, despite what the advertisements say, and the "positive lock" I expect from high quality kydex sheaths really isn't there. The blade just kind of presses into the sheath without much of a "lock" or snap. I do appreciate the inclusion of an Ulti clip though, as it is my preferred method of carrying a fixed blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Send us your questions by filling out the form below, we will be happy to assist you.

Sharpening

Q. What edge angle are Dawson knives sharpened at?

A. 18 degrees

Q. What blade sharpener should I use?

A. We recommend the Warthog V-Sharp A4 Knife Sharpener for home use. We also offer free professional resharpening of your Dawson knife.

Q. My sharpener only adjusts in 5-degree increments (15, 20, 25, etc.). What angle should I set my sharpener at to resharpen my Dawson knife?

A. That depends on the model and intended use. For a thinner steel with a fine, sharp edge intended for game processing or food prep, go with 15 degrees. If your knife is built from a thicker steel and intended for heavy chores like batoning or chopping, we recommend going for the more impact-resistant edge at 20 degrees.

Blade Care

Title

Q. Are Dawson blade finishes safe to use around food?

A. Yes. All of our finishes are brought of the steel itself using a special custom process. We do not use any kind of chemical coating that might end up wearing off into your grub. We also use only food-grade blade protectants.

Q. Which blade finish is best for food prep?

A. With proper care, our silver-toned finishes (Rainstorm, Stonewash, Monsoon, etc.) stay looking their best longest when coming into frequent contact with food acids.

Q. Are Dawson blade finishes sprayed or painted on?

A. No. We have developed our own customized heat treatment processes that draw the unique tones and patterns of our signature finishes out of the steel itself. Each finish is 100% one of a kind.

Q. How do I care for my blade?

A. After use, we recommend immediately cleaning your blade with a mild dish soap and warm water, then drying thoroughly. Apply a food-safe blade protectant (we recommend FrogLube Paste), allow it to sit on the steel for about 30 seconds, then rub clean with a soft cloth. Store your knives in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.

Handle Care

Title

Q. How do I care for my G10 handle?

A. G10 is a very tough and low-maintenance material. If it becomes dirty or stained, remove the scales from your blade using a hex head driver or Allen wrench. Clean the scales with a strong, clear alcohol (e.g., Everclear or isopropyl alcohol) and a cloth or old toothbrush. Once scales are clean and dry, apply a coating of FrogLube or Wicked Wax to restore the G10’s rich color. Re-assemble the blade and handles, making sure to thoroughly tighten all fasteners.

Sheath Care

Title

Q. How do I set up my sheath for different carry styles?

A. Check out the Videos tab on any model page for a step-by-step guide on adjusting your sheath mounts to accommodate your preferred carry.

Q. How do I attach/use the UltiClip with my Dawson sheath?

A. Check out the Videos tab on any model page for a step-by-step guide to installing and using the UltiClip 3.3 Slim.

Sheath Care Note: To avoid scratching your blade finish, we recommend using a blast of compressed air to blow out any accumulated grit inside the sheath. You may also rinse it out, allowing it to air dry thoroughly before storing your knife inside. Avoid exposing your sheath to extreme heat, such as leaving it inside a closed vehicle. Doing so can deform the Kydex and ruin its precision fit to your knife.
