I'm starting to add a few Bob Dozier's to my collection..this is my 'Yukon Skinner'.

I'd like to know if anyone here collect's or use's Dozier Knives ?

I just bought this Dozier off the internet. It is not my picture.

This the second Dozier I own. I think he makes excellent knives.

Hey Rod,
..that's a good one, and look's like the old Westinghouse micarta on the handle.

Rex

I think you are correct about the Micarta. The seller calls it Westinghouse Antique Ivory Micarta. It is the K-7 Slim Outdoorsman model. The reason I purchased this knife is because of the handle material.

I have the exact knife, bought in 2000, except the handle material is called Black Rucarta. If I recall Micarta is a trade name of Westinghouse material, so perhaps Rucarta is a derivative of Micarta. Looking on the internet, AG Russell, uses Rucarta and that is where I bought the original Dozier from. Perhaps Bob was building them for AG to sell then!!

Rex and Rod
nice knives guys
I have two Dozier knives, on a Slim Outdoorsman, and the other I don't recall the name of and I don't see a similar one on his website.
Slim Outdoorsman has black Rucarta(Micarta) and unfortunately got rained on, and didn't get it out of the sheath on time and it has a few pits.
Other one is ironwood.

Glad to see you have one Dozier with Ironwood. I could not for a moment imagine you having a knife from a maker without have at least one ironwood handle.
Looking at Dozier's website it states he has a 30+ month wait on orders.

Very nice knives, Peter. I especially like the one with the IW - because of the blade shape and the handle

All of these Dozier knives look outstanding. I really like the size, handle-to-blade line and the way it feels in my hand. And no, I don't own one but have held one a good buddy owns. They look like they'd like to hang out on your hip when out beating around on the weekends. Really nice, guys.
Kinda remind me a little of this Whiskey Pete I just happen to have in my hand.

I haven't been on the forum much, but I have several of Bobs knives an even use some of them. He makes a great knife for trout and birds also have two Gentleman's knives an Elk hunter a folding knife with Ivory two mirrow polished knives one in stag and one in Ivory and a copy of a Randall 1943 fighter. I may have more but that is all that memory serves me right now. I also spent a week at his shop and two Christmas' with him at Rhett and Janie's. He is a fine person.

I have had 3 knives Bob Dozier.
#1 K-8 Simi Skinner, #2 New York Special and #3 K-15 Neck Knife

Excellent working knives.
Number 1 I gave to a friend.
Number 2 and 3 sold.

Recently I wanted knives Dozier again.
Therefore I participated in the auction and won. Very nice knife.

Nice! The blade reminds me of a lot of a #5-5... Perfect for the outdoors

I have long wanted Dozier KM-3, and finally found =)

Nice knives, gentlemen! They look pretty handy and versatile - they probably make a great EDC

Fit and finish on a Dozier is always great....but the workmanship on that sheath, especially the stitching is best I've saw..lately.

Appreciate the pics. I had been looking at his knives for a while now but had not yet bought one. Yesterday I ordered an "Arkansas Toothpick" with a shoulder sheath. Definitely not one of his high end items but looks like it should be a good carry knife. Picked the shoulder sheath just because it looked cool. :-)

I have a Dozier personal and have cleaned a few deer with it. Holds a great edge for sure. Someone said they look like there good user knives and they are and a great value if you ask me.

Not to mention just what a good guy he is!

Wow these knives look great!

He arrived yesterday, very comfortable Skinner

The latest addition

Here, I bought little used a very nice auxiliary blade

I really like D-2 steel. I have a Bud Tracy "Backpacker" in D-2 that skinned a whole bear without any sharpening at all, including cutting off the head and paws. Probably my favorite "user" steel in a knife.

The main thing is the correct heat treatment
I have seen and had many knives with hideous heat treatment.
Quickly become dull, or crumble at the slightest loads.
Master Dozier is one of in world's best hardening D2

New "old" my Nessmuk folder:

I saw him at a fair price and decided that we should
not miss the moment I'm waiting for him by mail.
Seller photos are really excellent, I squeezed them a bit
to accommodate several views in one picture. I like this lighting.
Now I'm looking at him and I think he reminds me a lot?
A ripe watermelon!

In reality, this color is even more saturated. I think that
we should look for such a G10 unit and put it on Randall
