Any Dozier folder users here?

[Barry H]

Just curious: What do you all like about your folder? What do you dislike about it? Do they come with belt sheaths or pocket clips? Can they handle hard work, such as construction materials? Do you feel that (here goes

) the quality is comparable with Sebenzas?
Thanks, all!

Barry,
I have not handled or seen one in person
just the pics on web.....I was interested in one tho....so I called and asked about the work horse....I have a few Sebenzas and mainly wanted to know if the knife could be taken apart by the owner for adjustment or cleaning like a Sebenza..I was told that ,no it has to go back to their shop for any adjustment. I like folders especially the integral lock type.
I just got a Mad Max by Darell Ralph and a TNT from Tom Mayo both intergral locks. They both can be taken apart by owner, although not as easily as a Sebenza.
That is one of the things I look for in a folder, because I have never had one that eventually didnt devolop some blade wobble. when that happens on my Sebenzas,just a quick tighten with allen key and no wobble, so, I didnt get the Dozier folder for that reason alone...othewise it really looks nice. maybe someone will answer that has one.And I still have not found a knife that maintains as easily as a Sebenza does....anyway thats what they told me at Dozier knives...........

I have one of the Dozier Folding Hunters, it's got a 3" D2 blade and canvas micarta scales. It is a liner lock, but the liner is very thick, as thick as the blade tang where the two meet. I feel confident about it's strength re: lock safety, BUT, this is not a Sebenza-type knife. Mine is light and easily carried in my front pants pocket. This model is more of a working gents folder, would work very well as a hunter's knife for skinning etc. But not as a chopper or twisting, prying supertool. Maybe the Workhorse model is more in this vein, I havn't seen that one in person. But I'm very happy with my FH, I wasn't looking for a prybar, just a small/medium classy folder that cuts like crazy and that's what I got!
