Built from .140" CPM-MagnaCut, Summit is a classic, do it all camp and backpacking blade. It's built to power through camp chores, chopping and shelter building, all while shaving precious ounces from your pack thanks to its lightweight design.
CPM-Magnacut stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion or staining, and thanks to our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels.
Our American-made G10 handles shrug off rain, snow, mud and just about anything else you can think of. We design each of our handles for secure, comfortable, hot-spot free use in all seasons and textured them for improved grip when the going gets wet.
The Ascension also features a completely redesigned GEN 2 Carbon Fiber Kydex sheath, featuring an improved, rattle free fit, horizontal, vertical, MOLLE and beltless carry options and more. Specially designed for compatibility with the included UltiClip 3.3 Slim for secure, inside-the-pocket carry on the jobsite or around the ranch.
Maximize your knife's versatility with GEN 2's new precision milled, interchangeable handle scales upgrade. Exclusively compatible with the GEN 2 Ascension and sold separately.
