It\u2019s made in Taiwan and has an AUS-8 blade with a Zytel fiberglass handle, all of which keeps it light and very affordably priced.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this such a great little knife is its simple, straightforward design. The oval thumb notch means easy one-handed opening. The 3-inch hollow grind blade has a nice belly and AUS-8 \u2014 one of the best of the budget steels \u2014 resists rust well and takes an edge easily.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, priced at a little more than a Jackson at retail, you don\u2019t have to worry about beating it up. Or losing it. The Dozier Precision Hunter is a great blade to throw in an emergency kit, go-bag, tackle box, or \u2014 like mine \u2014 keep in your car\u2019s center console. With it\u2019s (fairly stiff) clip, it also makes a pretty darned good, slim, very pocketable EDC option.<\/p>\n<p>I have knives that cost many multiples of the price of a Dozier Precision Hunter, but this thing is, all things being equal, one of my favorites. It clearly doesn\u2019t suck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/things-that-dont-suck-ka-bar-dozier-precision-hunter-knife\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Dan and I\u2019m a knife addict.
