Description
The Dozier Buffalo River Hunter was introduced late in 2005. It is a drop point hunter that was designed for A. G. Russell customers. At the time it was introduced, Desert Ironwood was plentiful. It is a wonderful handle material, but has become increasingly hard to find forcing Bob to look for other suitable handle material. He has found a source of Cocobolo that has as much striking contrast in grain, perhaps more, as the finest Desert Ironwood. Buffalo Hunters are now available with Cocobolo. Like all of Bob’s standard hollow ground hunting knives, these are hand ground in Bob’s shop on grinders designed and built by him.
The blade shape is one of the best drop point designs I have ever seen. It is long enough to be a general hunting and camping knife with enough belly to make a good skinning knife but enough straight for splitting kindling and making fuzz sticks. There is no such thing as a knife that will do everything, but this one comes as close as you can get in a hunting knife. The blade measures 3-3/4″ long and 15/16″ wide of D-2 tool steel with Bob’s personal fantastic edge holding heat-treat (60-61 Rc.), possibly the sharpest and best edge holding knife in the knife world today. Measures 8-3/16″ tip to butt and weighs 4.9 oz. Includes a Kydex® sheath of Bob’s own design that is made in his shop. As great a value in a handmade hunting knife as you can find.
We attempt to keep Dozier knives that we include in our mailings on our shelves. They are so popular that we often run out. If a Dozier knife is not in stock when you order, delivery typically takes 3 to 4 months.
