I can't find the new Wilderness model on his website. Does anyone know where I could find a picture of one??

P.S. I keep hearing about how his customer service is soo good, but I emailed him 2 weeks ago and he hasn't responded!

Thanks!

Bob's wife, Linda, handles the the phone and the e-mails. And from past experiences, they are busy almost all of the time. Especially around the time they are getting ready for big shows. I haven't seen teh new Wilderness model either. Why don't you try e-mailing Linda again and asking if she can help you get a scan.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the heads-up on the TK picture, Ravenn. I had missed it on my first pass through the mag. I don't have a scanner but here is part of the annotation from the pic:
"...Bob Dozier created his new Wilderness Survival knife by lenghtening the handle and blade on an earlier model..."

Unfortunately, there are no specs given; however, to my eye, it is beefed up Pro Guide. It has a similar clip blade shape with a touch more belly (i.e. steeper drop & more curve from the point to the straight portion of the edge) than the Pro Guide. The handle also follows similar lines with what appears to be a bit more of a swell on top as well as a different butt shape.

I know what one of my first stops will be at the NY Custom Show (2 weeks & counting). I'm a sucker for both Doziers & white micarta. If he has one at the show... Well, let's just say that my white micarta Pro Guide, Model 6, and Arkansas Toothpick may be getting a big brother soon. :D
 
I spoke to Bob recently, and he was getting ready to go to a show. He said they were going to be gone for a couple of weeks, so this is likely why they have not returned your email.

I have seen the wilderness in several magazines now. It is a modified beefier version of the Pro Guide. He has planned to get it on his site, but it hasn't happened just yet. I believe it has a 5" blade and a handle close to that long. I may be wrong, but i think it is .200" thick at the spine. Looks like a winner to me!
