Got some new Doziers in, the new ones are the Bare Bones Buffalo Skinner [green micarta handles], the Sisu Model 6 [stacked leather handle], and the K-46 Hunter Scalpel [burgunday micarta handle].

Thought I'd put some pics up here to give you more of a look at the knives and to get some perspective on size of the knives

What I would call the Four Definitive Dozier Skinners, from the bottom, the KS-1 Master Skinner, the Bare Bones Buffalo Skinner, and two 1975 (Delta Skinner) Doziers.

All three are outstanding knives. I haven't gotten to use them heavily yet, but all three have superb edges as usual from the St. Paul and Springdale shops.

One of the subtle features of the stacked leather handle, (and hidden tang knives as well) is how light it is compared to a full or tapered tang fixed blade. Feels great in the hand and a comfortable grip.

The Buffalo Skinner, (and the Sisu Model 6) fit very well in their leather sheaths, still amazes me how good and tight a fit Bob makes his sheaths, and how durable and long-lasting they are. So much so that with the Buffalo Skinner I may have to get a thicker or more substantial lanyard/tab to help get it out of the sheath as it sits so low and tightly.

The K-46 is extremely handy, many nowadays will tell you that you only really need a blade that's 2 to 3 inches for a majority of any cutting chores you have in the day. It's good to have smooth micarta again, as much as I like bead-blasted micarta, I think I prefer the original smooth finish from the shop and will stick to it from now on.
 
The K-28 looks to have a generous handle and paring knife shape. I think I could live with a 3 3/4" blade, day in and day out with the shape and handle of that paring knife. It would work, for slicing up an apple, pruning limbs or cutting up summer sausage for lunch. DM
 
All are very appealing designs.

Nice collection
