Valor is the classic woodsman's knife, built for everything from shelter building and wilderness survival to processing game. The height of the blade's grind is calculated to create a thicker, more robust edge that stands up to the kind of heavy-duty use that would make a lesser blade tuck tail and run.

Our G10 handles are ergonomically designed, lightly textured and feature our signature Topographic contouring for a comfortable, secure grip no matter the conditions.

Finest steels

Trust Dawson steel to deliver where it counts—with exceptional strength, impact resistance, sharpness and edge retention.

Another finely crafted tool from Dawson, very good looking, rugged and ergonomic, will stand the test of time

Dawson Knives Valor in Procut Steel

Outstanding knife by all measurements, terrific craftsmanship, gorgeous finish and great well balanced ergonomic handle. Very sharp and sturdy blade ! Wonderful addition to my collection!

Awesome knives

Both knives are very well constructed.
They are so nice that I almost hate to use them.

exceeds expectations

this field went blank while typing twice, so trying to get the submit before it is gone. Extreme strong and sharp knife will be used hard everywhere I can use it. Thank You

Overall Great Knife

Happy with the knife overall but the spine near the end where it starts to slope towards the point isn't symmetrical. Either one side wasn't grinded enough or one was grinded too much. Don't see this effecting the use of the knife so just a minor annoyance at most.

Valor

Very nice size and weight, great fit and finish.

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.
