Anyone got one of these?

Nice looking knife from what I can see, but I'm curious to the exact blade length... it says 3.5" on the tin but I'd like to know the cutting edge measurement.

Can anyone help on this particular bit and does anyone have any input on the overal build and quality of this knife??

Cheers dudes

I hadn't seen that yet. I like everything I see though.
 
No experience with this knife, but if anyone has one, I would sure love to hear their thoughts. It just screams "work knife" to me, and as much of the Dozier line, it would probably be top notch.

I do hope someone will follow up on this one.

by the magic of google I see positive reviews and a cutting edge of 3.25"
 
A little more follow up on this knife. It seems to be reasonably priced, and if it is from the same factory/factories that make my Chinese Kershaw work knives, they should be well built.

i was surprised though that the steel was AUS6. Then it is treated to a 56 - 58 Rockwell hardness. That means if you got one on the lower end of scale you would have a butter knife.

Although it looks great and I am sure will do fine for folks, I have plenty of older knives with steel of doubtful repute in my rotation. I don't need another ho-hum knife.

440A at the 56-58 range is fine for every day chores. Certainly not CPM154 or D2 at HRC60, but I don't think I would put it straight into butter knife category ;-)
