Dawson Knives Chief Arizona Copper 3V Two-Tone Carbon Fiber Fixed Blade

The Dawson Chief is a scaled up, combat ready modification of the popular Pathfinder design. Equally capable as a camp, field or hunting knife, the Chief has a powerful hollow grind, cross guard and sub-hilt for optimal tactical performance. Dawson utilizes American-made, CPM 3V powder metallurgy steel which offers exceptional toughness with edge holding up to three times longer than D2 and a clear Cerakote coating for corrosion resistance. This version comes with two-tone carbon fiber handle scales and an Arizona Copper finished blade.

Brand new, direct from Dawson Knives.

Blade: Made from tough, American CPM 3V the hardy, utilitarian drop point blade has a high hollow grind for powerful slicing and prominent spine swedge for aggressive piercing capability. The double guard has a hook catch for martial use and pairs with strategic jimping for first-class control regardless of the task. Arizona Copper is a proprietary finish that gives each blade a unique, copper like finish while also being surprisingly non-reflective for discreet use.

Handle: Thick, two-tone carbon fiber scales come attached over blue fiber liners to the full tang for a rock solid handle. Contoured for comfort during extended use, the scales have deep grooves for traction and flat sides for a slim carry profile. Strategic jimping on the forward and rear guards offer added security, while the exposed pommel provides added utility for emergency glass breaking, impact and prying. Each knife is 100% hand made and includes a Certificate of Authenticity with spec sheet and serial number.

Sheath: Carries via a custom hybrid Leather/Kydex sheath with multiple carry options.

CPM-3V: A high carbon alloy steel that is extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance. Care and maintain is required. High toughness translates to a stable edge that can be ground thin for enhanced performance. 3V has good edge retention, approaching VG-10 and CPM-154, with more than 3x the toughness. Dawson’s differential heat treatment gives a harder edge for performance and a softer spine for added for toughness and flexibility.
