Dozier Folding Hunter
The Ka-Bar Dozier Folding Knife is a compact folding hunter built on a design by custom knifemaker Bob Dozier, whose Dozier Design mark is etched on the blade. It is meant for everyday cutting at camp, in the field and around the house, and it handles game-dressing chores without the bulk of a fixed blade. A clip lets it ride in a pocket, and the blue handle makes it easy to spot if you set it down in leaves or grass.
Features
- Drop-Point Blade — The spine curves down to meet the point, which gives you a strong tip and a long, controllable belly for skinning and general slicing.
- Plain Satin Edge — A smooth, non-serrated edge with a satin finish cuts cleanly and is simple to touch up on a stone.
- Thumb Stud Opening — A stud on the blade near the pivot lets you swing the knife open with one hand.
- Jimped Spine — Small grooves cut into the back of the blade give your thumb a non-slip rest for detail work.
- Textured Polymer Handle — Molded checkering across both scales gives a secure hold when your hands are wet or cold.
- Hunter Blue Color — The bright blue scales stand out against the ground, which helps you find the knife quickly outdoors.
- Removable Pocket Clip — A black clip held by a single screw at the butt keeps the knife at the top of your pocket where you can reach it.
- Lanyard Hole — A hole at the end of the handle takes a cord or fob for extra retention.
- Torx Hardware — The handle is assembled with Torx screws, the six-point star-shaped fasteners, so the clip and scales can be serviced with a common driver.
Design and Build
Ka-Bar produces this folder to Bob Dozier's pattern, and both names are marked on the blade. The handle has a slight curve and a raised Ka-Bar medallion in the center, with the blade folding fully into the frame for carry. Its small, light format suits hunters, hikers and anyone who wants a capable working knife that disappears in a pocket.

Perfect Little EDC Grab and GoI toss this thing in my hiking bag every single weekend and it just never lets me down. Super lightweight, snaps open smooth with the thumb stud, and the lockback feels SOLID every time. I was honestly a little skeptical at first because it looks kinda plain and cheap but once i started actually using it that feeling went away real fast. Only thing id say is the paint on the pocket clip scuffs up pretty easy but honestly for the price i really cant complain at all.
Lightweight and easy to carry every day
Lockback mechanism feels very securePocket clip paint scratches and scuffs easily

Awesome knife for the priceI was surprised by how nice this knife feels in hand. The lockback is secure and I've used it for everything from cutting rope to opening boxes. The blue handle really stands out from other basic folding knives.
Affordable price point

Very lightweight, reliable, SHARPTLDR: lightweight, reliable, sharp and easy enough sharpen. So good that I bought two within two months of each other :) Not perfect: the pocket clip rides high and the paint on the clip scuffs really easily. The Ka-Bar Dozier has always been on my radar as a low-cost, high-value folding knife that you can grab and go or toss in a hiking bag BUT I always stopped myself from buying one because it honestly looks cheap (both the blade and the FRN). When the new D2 version came out, I actually really liked it, the blade coating (I live in the tropics) and the FRN finish was attractive BUT I still held off because it had a D2 blade and I found this a bit harder to sharpen (interestingly, my only other D2 knife is a Ka-Bar USMC combat blade). When I was able to snag one at a discount from KS, I decided to buy one and I'm glad I did. From the get-go, really liked the construction of the knife, it snapped open easily (no blade play) and the lock was excellent. The blade shape is awesome and slices very easily. As mentioned, this thing is light! you get a lot of cutting power on a very lightweight yet tough knife; I often take it up to my hikes (see first image). The blade coating provides some corrosion resistance, especially to sweat and rain, and the finish on the blade is also very nice (see second image). The handle material is sufficiently grippy, easily cleaned, and the blue they chose actually looks great indoors and outdoors. I also liked Ka-Bar's display packaging, although the second one I got just came in the standard box. I would certainly go for the display box if I would give this as a gift...and I purchased a second one to give to my dad (the third one I got was a vanilla Ka-Bar with Aus8 steel which is an inferior model overall).
In conclusion, this is a great knife that really punches above its weight (pun intended) and is part of my regular EDC rotation.
the pocket clip rides high and, since it's a coated clip, doesn't resist scratches. The pocket clip also digs into my palm quite noticeably but not uncomfortably so. I really am nitpicking on the previous statement hehe
