Any one have anything to say regarding these blades?

A buddy of mine has one and he loves it. It is the large folding hunter, the DK-FHL. It feels pretty good but I havent heard of these guys before, so I was looking for some input before I ordered.

Thanks
The_Guide :cool:

EDIT: I was looking to order the KS-7 wilderness knife, and the KS-3 Professional Guides knife.

Many consider Dozier D2 to be one of the best D2s available with a couple other noteworthy D2 heat treaters in contention

Absolutely top notch.

He's also a good guy. Very approachable.

But ... most importantly ... great knives!:thumbup:
 
I have the KS-3 Dozier with the wilderness on the way, it will be here this summer.
My thoughts~ If I had only one knife, it would probably the the Pro Guide Knife (KS-3) I have had that knife in on a lot of animals, gutting, skinning, breaking the briskets, boning and cutting meat. It preforms amazingly! Bob's legendary D2 and his heat treating is untouched by anyone else. The blade will hold an edge over any other knife. I also use the knife as a survival knife, I can baton it through wood to make kindling, or to build a shelter. This is a high carbon, high chrome knife, it is almost stainless, but not quiet. So it does need to be cleaned after use to ensure it will last generations.
A friend of mine has the Wilderness knife already, it is one heck of a knife. You don't need to baton it, it will cut like an axe.
You will not go wrong with these knives. I currently have 3 on order and will be placing an order in another couple of days for one more. The Arkansas Traveler which is a great EDC.
There are many options to choose from, if you want any more advise on which knife to choose, let me know, I am happy to help. I have a few! Depending on your uses, I may suggest the K-19 Pro Skinner or the K-16 Yukon Skinner. Both are great. If you are looking for a hunting knife, the Wilderness is not a hunting knife in the fact that it isn't designed for use on animals unless you have to. The S in the KS-3 stands for Survival, but it is designed to be the one knife you pack into back country if your hunting deer/elk and that one knife will do everything.

I had a couple a few years back. FANTASTIC knives, stayed sharp forever. I wish I still had them.

Whoa! Nice picture!
 
You cannot go wrong with a Dozier!

One of the best hollow grinds around with arguably the best heat treatment of D2.

Krein learned from Bob!
 
The shop, last I checked was out somewhere 10-12 months. :eek:

Dealers include AG Russell, Vintage Knives, Bladeart.
Russell should have some Pro Guides in stock.

But there is a damn sweet Wilderness up right now in the for sale section of this forum I have been lusting after.

Cocobolo....mmmm. :D

Dozier makes some absolutely amazing stuff. I dream of acquiring one of his Loveless style hunters, but it will probably be a while before funds allow that.

The Dozier shop does great work. You can pick up a knife in a standard configuration from a dealer now or place an order through the shop to get something a but more personal. Either way you will get a heck of a knife.

Ebbtide,
You need to stop taunting me with that fillet knife!
 
Bob is one of the gods of knife making. Between the Wilderness and the Pro Guide, I'd take the Pro Guide. If memory serves me correctly, it has a thinner and more efficient grind.

Carp,

Fine B & T you have there. ;)

Is that a kydex lined sheath?

It is hard to tell due to the angle I took the photos at but it is actually a Whittler. The sheath doesn't have a liner. Bob said that they don't offer much benefit on such a small knife. This is hands down the nicest sheath that I have ever had. :thumbup:
