Randall Knives for Bowhunting

[Brian P.]

All I ever do to any of my Dozier knives is to run them across a set of crock stix. i really like the Spyderco variation since it has two different angles to choose from. 30 or 40 degrees I think. I have one Dozier that has field dressed and skinned 5 deer I think. I have yet to do anything to the edge. I just keeps cutting.

 I didnt know the wait was back up to 10 months. I took delivery of one in November and had only waited 4 months. Bob must have had a busy fall to fall so far behind.

I'm able to sharpen mine on a plain old Norton Arkansas stone.  Just a few strokes and it's touched up.  I've never actually had any of my Doziers get truly dull.  Bob's D2 holds an edge better than any knife I've ever had.  Never a problem with rust either.  Not even so much as a stain.  Even though D2 isn't a "true" stainless, it's only about a half a percentage point of Cr. away from it.  While my Randall's from O-1 will take a stain almost immediately upon making contact with the acids in meat, my Doziers look like brand new after a season of gutting and skinning deer and doing nothing more than wiping it on my pants.
