I received this knife on Monday and have been astounded by it ever since. This is a heck of a knife. You can see it on Bob's site, which has been updated to show the new folders. The site is www.dozierknives.com
The knife looks larger than it actually is. Well it is pretty large. When you hold it it doesn't feel like as large a knife as it is. Yea, thats better. The blade is sharpened top and bottom so you have to be careful with closing, don't want to cut yourself. The handle is shaped to fit your hand comfortably with the blade tang providing a top and bottom guard. The titanium handles are a nice dark gray and some of the thickest pieces of ti I have seen on knife handles. Mine has two smaller grooves, one above and one below the larger groove and are anodized blue. There are 4 smaller dished out dots on each handle anodized gold. I can't post pictures but take my word, it looks super good. The blade is not a symmetrical grind, with the bottom edge wider. All in all I am well pleased with this knife. The Dozier tab-lock will keep the blade locked up tight and rock solid. That blade is a thick, .170, piece of D-2 that comes satin finished and razor sharp.
My only complaint is the lack of a pocket clip. In talking with Bob's wife Linda, who was a tremendous help, I found out that Bob is having clips made to his specs and will retrofit the folders I have with them.
I knew that Dozier Knives came in fixed blades, and had seen the smaller folding hunters, but I sure got a pleasant surprise when I found out about these FULL-SIZE folders! Needless to say I am one happy camper!
