The Wilderness is a gothic unicorn, the pot of gold at the end of a steely rainbow - a do-it-all field and hunting knife often dreamed of but not often brought to life. Inspired by the legendary Greenriver hunting/skinning blade pattern, with a fine point for piercing and plenty of belly for peeling back hide.

WHO WE ARE

Our family understands "the grind" of the American blue collar worker in a big way - we spent the first 40 years at Dawson Knives working late nights and early mornings, 60-80 hours a week, then loading our knives into an old beater of a car and driving cross-country to that weekend's trade show, often with just enough gas to get us there and no money in our pocket to cover a night's lodging or even a meal upon arrival.

Perfection

When it comes to blades, companies usually concentrate on either functionality or a visual work of art. Dawson Knives has decided to do BOTH, with functional works of art.

Great knife!

Thanks for the great knife and excellent service. God all of you.

What a knife!!

I absolutely love my new smuggler knife. Perfect size to edc. I have larger hands and the handle is very comfortable. I will definitely be ordering a few more models. I also opted for the free engraving and it looks really nice. This knife will probably be passed down to the next generation. Thank you for sharing your skills with the public.

Amazing knife

I picked up a Contractor and was blown away with the weight, quality and craftsmanship. The handle fits my hand perfectly and I can't imagine dropping it on accident. Once in my grip, it would become part of my hand.
If I needed to, I could punch this knife through a car door and probably not even scratch the knife.
Overall, this is a beautiful, functional piece of work. I love it.

Great knife and service

This is a well made knife. Very sharp and good size for work around the camp site. The blade feels a little forwar d but not so much are to be an issue. It's a great chopper. The kydex sheath is a bit wide but securely holds the knife. The staff at the factory were very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
I would very mIuch recommend this blade.

Very nice knife. I only wish I would’ve known about Dawson knives sooner.
