The original description of this knife is from some years ago on the A.G. Russell website:
"An A. G. Russell Exclusive
Bob Dozier's flat ground knives which are marked "Arkansas Knives" rather than "Arkansas Made" include a fair amount of outsourced work. The blades are laser cut, double disk ground and then flat ground by outside sources instead of being bandsawed, surface ground then hollow ground in his own shop. Bob insists on doing the heat treat himself to assure the quality of heat treat that he feels D2 must have. After the flat grinding, the blade is finish ground and the knife is constructed in Bob's shop here in Northwest Arkansas. You only save a few dollars over the knives he makes completely by hand, BUT you seldom have to wait for delivery.
Dozier Modified Personal with Ironwood
The Dozier Arkansas Modified Personal, measures 6-7/8" overall with a 3" blade of D2 at 60-61 Rc. Available with handle scales of either black Micarta® or premium Ironwood from the Sonora Desert. The famous Dozier horizontal sheath of Kydex® makes the package complete. This NEW design makes the inconspicuous knife work like its big brothers, the step at the back of the blade allows pressure to increase the cutting ability of this knife."
Overall Length 6-7/8"
Blade Length 3"
Handle Length 3-7/8"
Weight 3.9 oz.
Handle Ironwood
Blade Steel D2
Rockwell 60-61 Rc.
Sheath Black Kydex, right hand
I don't think these are available anymore.
The ironwood on this beauty is exceptional. This was carried a few times and barely used. There are a few fine scratches on the blade, probably from the sheath, other then that it's like new. I'll try and post up a better image shortly.
Price on this one is $215.00 and includes USPS Priority insured in the continental US. Paypal only please, fees are included.
The first I'll take it posted here gets it.
Thanks for looking!
