Kabar Dozier
The KA-BAR Dozier line brings one of America's most respected custom makers to a production folder anyone can carry. Bob Dozier learned the trade as a boy, forging files and springs into working knives under his grandfather's eye, and spent decades building a custom reputation on two things: clean, no-nonsense designs and hard-won expertise with D2 steel. When he brought KA-BAR a folding prototype in 2001, the collaboration that followed became one of the longest-running designer partnerships in production knives.
KABAR Dozier Folding Hunter
The Dozier Folding Hunter is the heart of the line — an award-winning lockback with a 3-inch hollow-ground drop point, now running the D2 tool steel Dozier built his custom reputation on. D2 holds an aggressive working edge well beyond ordinary stainless options at this size, and the lockback mechanism operates identically for right- and left-handed users, a detail lefties notice immediately. Zytel handles keep the whole package light enough to forget in a pocket, with a reversible clip and thumb stud rounding out the carry options. Color variants including Foliage Green and the blue D2 edition cover everything from subdued to easy-to-find in a pack.
Dozier S35VN and Mini Dozier
The premium Dozier folder steps up to CPM-S35VN, a powder metallurgy stainless that adds corrosion resistance and edge stability over D2 for users who want the same clean design with upgraded steel. At the other end of the size range, the Mini Dozier compresses the pattern into a true lightweight EDC that disappears in a watch pocket while keeping the lockback security and drop point geometry of its bigger brothers.
Bob Dozier Design Philosophy
Every knife in the family reflects the same brief Dozier has worked from for fifty years: simple lines, honest materials, and geometry that cuts. There are no gimmicks in a Dozier design — just a working knife refined by a maker who has spent a lifetime learning exactly what a blade needs and stripping away everything it doesn't.
