History is riddled with periods of uncertainty. A wise man doesn't panic, he prepares. Fortify yourself against future challenges with a tool you can rely on, no matter what.

Crafted from premium, American-made CPM-Magnacut stainless steel in heavy-duty .210" stock, the Shepherd XL features a 5.5" blade that is highly resistant to corrosion or staining. Thanks to our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels. 

Our American-made G10 handle says, "Aw, that's cute" to rain, snow, mud and just about anything else you can think of. We designed our handles for secure, comfortable, hot-spot free use in all seasons and textured them for improved grip when the going gets wet.

The Shepherd XL 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 carry in the backwoods 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 Shepherd XL. Get yours here.

Backed by an industry-leading warranty and over 50 years' knifemaking experience, the Shepherd XL is a stronghold of American quality and craftsmanship.

Great knive & great customer service

The shepherd xl that i ordered was prefect.....I was really impressed with the customer service I received. As an disabled veteran haveing a hard time with technology the lady i talked to when i called was very patient and helpful. The only thing that compares to your blades is your customer service...Thank you.

I’m a fan of Dawson for the design and construction of their knives, including the ergonomics, aesthetics, interesting always-changing designs, choice of materials, and of course sturdiness.
1. I love continued to make improvements to their sheaths. Current generation is best so far, and I appreciate the inclusion of holes and slots to give flexibility in carry options.
2. I was a bit disappointed that the Arizona copper finish on the knife I received had very little of the cool Dawson mottling that was shown prominently in the web page pictures. There was very little mottling on the grind area of the blade (which is the majority of the blade area), and only significant amounts on one side of the non-grind areas.
