Description: This New York Special is the work of Arkansas knifemaker Bob Dozier. Dozier's current wait list is a bit over three years. This Loveless style knife has been in a private collection. It has been meticulously cared for and by all appearances it could have been made yesterday.
The blade is D2 semi-stainless steel, which has exceptional edge retention and takes a keen edge, while having a relatively high chromium content. This chromium content makes the blade fairly resistant to rusting and oxidation (though not to the point of true stainless steel). The boot ground blade is capable of serious work, yet is also perfect for detail-oriented tasks.
Black linen Micarta scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. Stainless steel Corby fasteners secure the handle in place. The scales are nicely domed for a secure, comfortable grip.
The knife is accompanied by a custom fit Kydex sheath, making it easy to keep this knife close at hand. This carrying strap fastens to your belt just behind your right hip, crosses your back to go over your left shoulder and fastens to your belt about four inches to the left of your buckle. The special Kydex sheath then is adjusted to the correct level and the knife is instantly available to your hand. This arrangement does not cut off your circulation or constrict the movement of your arms. Whether used out in the field or kept as the pride of a collection, This Arkansas Toothpick is sure to be a favorite.
