Kabar Dozier

My Kabar Dozier says Taiwan 4056. What kind of steel is it? Usually my knives have the steel type stamped on.

That series is in AUS-8.
I can't find a 4056...could it be a 4066 spear blade folder?

I'd love to hear your opinion of this knife since it's on my want list.

Instead of the Dozier...Get a Byrd Meadowlark for $16 and use the leftover money for a beer. I'm sure the blade of the Dozier is good but the handle seems flimsy and not up to par with the Byrd line or Benchmade's red class.

I have dyslexia...It is a 4065. Has the oval spyderco ripoff hole.

The Doziers are great, I have both the clip and spear points.

They are one of the best "bang for the buck" knives out there.

A buddy bought one of the spearpoints in an on base store as he was going back for a second tour in Iraq, used it for a "beater" and it came back looking like crap, but still solid as a rock.

I've got three - two with the hole and the drop point/thumbstud one. Only one gets used, but it's had the tar beat out of it and no arguments from me on what a good buy they are I bought the other ones as backup, but I haven't got there yet

I wish I had gotten the thumb stud..it's really hard to open. I think it's a great knife for $18... I just think the Byrd meadowlark is a better value.
