Bob Dozier has been a big name in handmade knives since the 1960's. He is an expert in making knives with state of the art fit and finish at a cost of several hundred dollars each. What he really prefers, though, is making knives like you see here with the very best materials, fitted perfectly, and with a working finish. This allows him to put the knives in your hands at prices that a working man can afford.
The Dozier Buffalo River Hunter was introduced late in 2005. It is a drop point hunter that was designed for A. G. Russell™ customers. At the time it was introduced, Desert Ironwood was plentiful. It is a wonderful handle material, but has become increasingly hard to find forcing Bob to look for other suitable handle material.
The knife for the professional packer or guide who works in remote areas and does not want to carry more than one knife. This knife is large enough to do the whole job on any big game animal as well as camp chores. It will also have a good edge when other knives have become dull. Using his standard D2 at 60+ Rc, Bob produces a man sized knife with both the blade and the handle larger than most of his knives.
Bob Dozier has taken on the challenge of making the ultimate Loveless designed drop point which we will sell for about one-third or one-fourth the current market price of a genuine Loveless hunting knife.
This White River Skinner, named for the White River National Forest in Colorado, is as suitable for skinning Beaver as it is for skinning Grizzly or Moose.
Bob has been setting aside the choicest of handle material for all of the 30 years I have known him. When Bob took a look at just what he had in stick stag, he found that he had something over 100 pieces in his stash. With stag now almost impossible to get, the result was the Dozier Classic. Now that the stag is no longer available, Bob has also fallen into some high quality African Blackwood, and is making the same knife with African Blackwood handle.
We have arranged with Bob to add our jigged bone scales to the Dozier Slim Outdoorsman. The other handle materials consist of Natural Rucarta™ and Black Rucarta.
This is a small personal knife, or neck knife, with the same super edge holding D2 steel Bob puts into his much larger hunters and combat knives. This handy little knife with the canoe shaped handle is ideal for the kayaker or canoeist. Its 2-7/8" straight blade can be used as a small game knife or as a personal all purpose utility knife, suitable for anyone who has a need for a top quality knife of this size.
This is the drop point blade carried to its ultimate conclusion. A knife suited to the skinning of any animal on this or any other continent. The 3-1/2" by 1-1/8" blade of D2 at 60-61 Rc. will flay everything from a small whitetail to a 20 foot salt water crock with the same ease, and will hold an edge beyond your experience. Bob Dozier's personal heat-treat of D2 is fast becoming legendary among knife aficionados (those of us who love knives and great edge holding).
Bob's concept of a personal knife is a knife that can be carried day in and day out; a knife that is never in the way but is always instantly available.
The Dozier Professional Skinner is shaped to perform the maximum skinning job while allowing its use for most other camp chores. This is the knife for the man who wants the very best professional tool available. There will be no knife in the camp that will out perform it at skinning. 7-1/2" overall length with a 3-1/2" blade of D2 at 60-61 Rc.
