Best ever

This knife is the ultimate do all. It is razor sharp. I cut through an auto carpet with backing like a knife through butter. I need 2. “Two is one and one is none. “

Fantastic Knife but of course, it's a DAWSON!

Another great knife from Dawson, I just love their knives! The materials, quality and workmanship are top notch and you can always count on getting that same value over and over again. BEST company to deal with ever!

Beautiful Knife

This is an aesthetically perfect work of true craftmanship. I love the way it feels in my hand, the balance and weight are spot on. What a well thought out piece. My first Dawson Knife, already my favorite knife. Certainly will not be my last. A true testament to what a family run business in our great country can put out when quality is the goal. Great job!

I have several knives from Dawson, and this one has the same quality and looks I have come to know and trust.
Thank you,
