Dawson Knives Chief Arizona Copper 3V Orange/Black G10 Fixed Blade

The Dawson Chief is a scaled up, combat ready modification of the popular Pathfinder design. Equally capable as a camp, field or hunting knife, the Chief has a powerful hollow grind, cross guard and sub-hilt for optimal tactical performance. Dawson utilizes American-made, CPM 3V powder metallurgy steel which offers exceptional toughness with edge holding up to three times longer than D2 and a clear Cerakote coating for corrosion resistance. This version comes with layered orange and black G10 handle scales and an Arizona Copper finished blade.

Brand new, direct from Dawson Knives, USA.

Blade: Made from tough, American CPM 3V the rugged, utilitarian drop point blade has a high hollow grind for powerful slicing and prominent spine swedge for enhanced aggressive piercing performance. The double guard has a hook catch for martial use and pairs with strategic jimping for solid control regardless of the task. Arizona Copper is a proprietary finish that gives each blade a unique, copper like finish while also being surprisingly non-reflective for discreet use.

Handle: Thick, matte blasted G10 scales are attached with black stainless steel hardware over orange liners to the full tang for a rock solid handle. Contoured for comfort during extended use, the scales are blasted and equipped with deep grooves and traction cuts for exceptional grip and speed in the hand. Strategic jimping on the forward and rear guards offer added security, while the exposed pommel provides added utility for emergency glass breaking, impact and prying with a hole for lanyard attachment. Each knife is 100% hand made and includes a Certificate of Authenticity with spec sheet and serial number.

Sheath: Carries via a custom hybrid Leather/Kydex sheath with multiple carry options.

CPM-3V: is a high carbon alloy steel that extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance. However, care is required to prevent corrosion. The edge can be ground thin, as it is tough enough to support a fine edge. 3V delivers the highest level of toughness while maintaining good edge retention. Dawson's differential heat treatment gives a harder edge for performance and a softer spine for added for toughness and flexibility.
