Blade Balm | Food-Safe Blade and Handle Protectant
Not too big and not too small. Perfect, solid weight for a perfect, solid knife. The hamon heat treatment on the blade is beautiful and really brings it out. I got this for my father for Father’s Day and when I received it, I almost kept it for myself because it is such a great knife. As soon as you hold it in your hand you can actually feel the quality of the entire knife. My dad was very thankful and I could tell he really likes it. I’m getting him to switch from folders to a good fixed blade for EDC. Fixed blades really are the way to go with a god quality low profile sheath, which is included. Dawson did an excellent job designing and creating the Contractor especially with the .200” thickness. This knife can take a beating and any like nothing happened. Anyway, I bought one for myself too after I have this one to my father. I just ordered a Companion too, which is a bit smaller than the Contractor. Dawson is definitely my favorite knife maker as I’ve bought 4 Dawson knives in the last week. Keep up the good work guys, and thank you!
I have a couple of Dawson knives including the Steadfast, which is now my EDC. I recently got one for my son and he absolutely loves it, so he is now a part of the Dawson family. Could not be more pleased with the performance of each knife, not to mention how stunning they look.
Great EDC knife. Fantastic quality and design. Fits my hand perfectly. Sheath could be a little more compact for horizontal appendix carry. Everybody that handles it loves it.
The work and craftsmanship speak for themselves but I will go ahead and add that Dawson has top notch customer service as well! I reached out to them with very specific needs, and they actually offered me products that were unavailable on the website at that time in order to accommodate me!
