That Dozier is a bada$$ knife.

For those that have not had the pleasure or just sitting on the fence, Vince is a top shelf individual. Great guy to deal with, and has a top shelf selection of some of the best blade smiths on the face of the planet.

Thanks for the kind words!!

I will be posting more from the best Hunting Knife Makers to this thread soon.

[quote=Fort_Henry_Custom_Knife] A couple I just received from Bob Dozier



I still think this is one of the best knifes i have ever saw. I would own it if it was available!

Just as I was ready to hit the cancel "Knives & Blades" subscription you go and post something like this... glad I stuck around a bit longer. And now, finally, one that really blows my rug up - a great looker would love to do a touchie-feelie.

Be kind, I'm still looking to be a first-timer in high quality custom. What is this one called? Where do I look for one like this that IS available? (Don't tell the wife she'll think the gunny disease is spreading.)

I dont know who owns it but he is a lucky man!

Dozier Classic Hunters (Although the one pictured may be a variant).
I think they are one of the best values out there in the traditional stick tang construction... little things; solder bead at the guard, quality handle materials, double stitched leather, best D2 heat treatment, etc.

AG may have some new older stock stag/African Blackwood/stacked leather handled ones around still...

GunGeezer - that particular Model is an Exclusive to Fort Henry Custom Knives ~ ME. :-)

Bob, Dan and I worked on that design for a long time before making it and to date there are about 5. I have three more due in from Bob next month, but Bob does what he wants at this stage in life (as he should) and they may arrive on time and they may not.

Thanks to Rick M. for bringing that one back up.

I will be debuting another NEW design Dozier Classic this month that Dan and I came up with, a really nice variation that I hope will be popular.

Wanted to update this with some new knives.

On the heels of the success of my Exclusive Nessmuk Classic from Bob Dozier, we designed a new One Off ~ Classic (only three of these made)




Here is a Sole Authorship Hunter from Bryan Baker (who worked for Chris Reeve for more than 10 years)

Added a New Maker to lineup;

Mike Drost






Also added the LAST of the Bob Dozier Exclusive Sabre Grind Classic - no more of these will be made.


And a special Non-Catalog Dozier Elk Hunter

I like that 2nd knife from Mike Drost. Looks like a B&T.

Hey Gang, just went live with our new Enhanced website. Lots of cool new features, feel free to check it out.

I am leaving for BLADE tomorrow and will be bringing home lots of great Hunters!

Just listed a couple from BLADE. Had a great time and bought tons of knives, check my website often.

Rare Dozier "Improved Pro Skinner"


Beautiful Wayne Hendrix skinner

The Wyne Hendrix WTS is gone!

In looking at the website it seems there are some important details left out of the description of many of the knives. Things like OAL, blade length, blade material and RC hardness, weight, are details knife guys probably need/want to know. Or am I missing something?
