The lines of this one are very similar to a Dozier design I used to admire. Great looking knife!
Good belly for slicing and a sharp tip for pinpoint work. Lots to like!

I have exactly 1 Dozier made knife as well. I ordered it directly from Dozier back when Dan would have been working in the shop as well.
It's a Professional Guides Knife with black micarta, all I could afford as a single parent at the time. I carried it for many years and the belt loop of the kydex sheath broke and I put it away. I dug it out last night for my son and I to look at to see if we can repair it someway for regular use.
Thank you for the kind words gentlemen.
Frog----OUT! Send the knife and sheath to the shop - they will make you a new sheath. Yes, for a fee. My son and I were able to fashion a new belt loop out of leather yesterday and secured it to the sheath using steel pop-rivets in the holes on the sheath. If I find the right piece of nylon webbing, I might replace it with that. It will then look like their "Wilderness" sheath they want $75 for. Frog---OUT! They replaced my kydex sheath gratis when the belt loop snapped, user error.

Frog----OUT! It would be interesting to see how many guys here started with a Dozier as their gateway drug to higher end knives. Bob really deserves a lot of credit for showing what things like good design, good heat treat and thin grinds do to elevate knife performance. Surely a hall of fame level legend. This is 100% me. And a David Winston was next. And to be honest one needs go no further but once the hook is set…

Got to meet David several years back.
He made a knife for me, and made the trip to Starkville, ms to pick it up.
Gave to me grand tour of his shop. Welcomed all my questions.
He’s a hoot.
Gave me a few hours of his time he could have been making knives.
Told the story pf how he and Gene and Ken Honeycutt all got together.
I left with 2 knives that day.
Several since then.
