Dozier folding hunters

[rookie4real]

Playing with my phone camera, here is a couple of Doziers that I recently got. Small one is 2 3/4" blade, large 3 1/2. I intend on keeping both knives, especially the large one that I currently edc. Enjoy.

Congratulations! Great pics. I'm up to five Dozier folders, a large folding hunter in titanium included. Makes for a fantastic edc. The only problem is after carrying such a large folder day in day out when you put a smaller folder in your pocket it just doesn't feel as substantial!

Congrats again and thanks for sharing!

Thanks RiverRat, yeah, Doziers are addictive, I just got my micarta KS-3 in the mail today, and I'm already on a hunt for another knife from him. Agreed, after getting used to a larger edc, smaller knives don't feel right. The small hunter feels weird when I clip it to my pocket, I have to check it with my hand to make sure it's still there, it feels more at home when I carry it as a slip joint.
The large one's thick titanium and .150 blade add to the weight and it feels on a heavy side of my other folders but not enough to concern me. The action is precise and smoothest I have seen, it beats my sebenza and broken in smf. However, the main reason I am attracted to Doziers is the legendary D2 treatment, and of course beautiful hollow grinds that cut like crazy.
I wonder how hard could it possibly be to cut out the entire frame out of micarta, carbon fiber or g-10 instead of titanium, it should shave the weight significantly.

Out of the stag, mammoth ivory, curly maple, and giraffe bone Dozier folders I own the titanium folder is definitely the heaviest. A folder this size can be cumbersome in the pocket(I don't use the clips, in fact I take them off the day I get the knife) but a nice folder pouch worn on the belt easily remedies that.

Mr. Dozier makes a hell of a folder. Well worth the high price tag as you get a high quality knife.

Congrats on the Pro Guide by the way. I regret the one I let go of, I regret letting go of every Dozier I've sold in fact. That's a nice big knife that is surprisingly light weight for its size. You sure have great taste in knives!

Me too! rookie4real actually saved me some dough! I drooled and drooled over it until he snagged it. My wallet and girlfriend thank you, sir!
