KA-BAR Dozier Folding Hunter, 3″Blade w/ Thumb Notch, Black Zytel Handles – 4065 Opening Sales

The KA-BAR Folding Dozier is a hard-working budget folder from one of the great knifemaking minds of the last few decades.

Bob Dozier has made thousands of knives over his career and nearly left knifemaking after feeling burned out. But he eventually returned to the craft with a new philosophy: making basic hunting knives using high-quality materials at reasonable prices for those who will actually use them.

That philosphy manifests itself in the Folding Dozier from KA-BAR. This folding hunter features a 3-inch blade made from AUS 8 stainless steel and utilizes Dozier’s award-winning lockback design.

This version of the knife comes with a clip point and a thumb notch for easy one-handed opening with either hand.

The handles on the Folding Dozier are practical and durable. Made from Zytel, the handles maintain their grippiness in all types of weather conditions without cracking in harsh environments.

Rounding out the knife is a functional pocket clip and a lanyard hole for extra security. For a reliable, no-frills folder that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, the Folding Dozier is a safe bet.
