Bob's knives always look so darn good. That arnwood sure looks great and of course the grinds are superb.

You are so right, I should have mentioned the grind!
Bob's grinds are incredibly uniform and consistent. In terms of consistency, his hand applied grinds put all others to shame.
I own several of Bob's creations. Each is a unique masterwork. Each has a distinctive character; but common to all is the meticulous simplicity and flawless precision.
Most importantly, they are functioning masterpieces that excel in their task.

RifRaf, that's a good one, but slightly inaccurate... bloodletting sharp, hemorrhage inducing sharp, etc. My Dozier slim outdoorsman bit me three days ago... I didn't even notice it touching me, and whammo... some blood to curdle. Hmmm, maybe bloodcurdling does fit. Nice ironwood there... Mr. Dozier gets alot of props for his grinds, but I think he does handles just as well. Sweet knife, you will find it impossible to have just one Dozier.

Thanks!
You're right on two counts.
Re blood letting: When speaking about the Dozier edge and "razor sharp" it is not a metaphor. Bob's knives are so sharp you don't feel it and don't know you've been bit until you see the blood dripping. Like you, I've done it!
Re can't own just one: I own several Doziers and already have another on order. They are truthfully my favorite blades. The only difficulty is choosing which Dozier to carry.
Re the handles: They are just a like the blades, perfect! I want to give some recognition to Bob's son-in-law, Daniel. I know he does a lot of prep work and got to believe his contribution adds to the overall consistency and quality of the products coming from Bob's shop.
Thanks!
