Review for model:

My first folding knife for my first EDC. The knife arrived very sharp, it's easy to open with one hand, incredibly light, and the protruding stud for the finger helps with opening the knife—a very good purchase. I recommend it.

At first, I wanted to return it due to uncertainty about the handle material and the lack of steel liners, with the scales flexing. But after carrying such an irrationally lightweight knife in my pocket for two weeks, it became my second favorite folder, precisely because of its unnoticeable weight. Its hollow grind makes it ideal for smaller tasks, meat processing, or other kitchen jobs, and it doesn’t weigh down my shorts on a walk. Go for it and test it out, cheers.

Review for model:

Utility in a nutshell. It lacks “clickiness” and character in appearance, and it’s too delicate to pry off manhole covers or pierce car hoods. But as an EDC, it works great: light, flat, easy to keep sharp, and much stronger than you’d expect. This is my third Dozier, each with a different blade variant. I reprofiled two to a flat grind and left this one original. I’ve been USING my oldest one for 16 years. I own various knives, some quite expensive and technologically advanced, but this one matches them for about 90% of tasks. For this knife, the joke saying “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” is totally justified.

This was also my first folder. Really lightweight. I'm a little worried that there’s no lanyard hole or whatever you call the finger groove to prevent slipping onto the blade. But it cuts like crazy, the lock is solid, and it clicks great when opening. Once it’s broken in, you can open it one-handed. For me, this knife is 10/10.

This is my first knife, not counting a pocketknife. I chose it because: 1. very low weight, 2. the handle is large enough that my pinky doesn't slip off and is quite comfortable, 3. strong lock. As an EDC knife, it is very good for me due to the above aspects.

I've had the knife for over a year and I am very satisfied with it. The blade holds sharpness well, and thanks to the handle, the knife is light and I don’t feel it while carrying, and at the same time it doesn't feel like anything will break. I recommend it.

Very handy and exceptionally lightweight knife. The only thing against it is the spring is too strong when opening, you could lose a thumbnail before it breaks in. Still, overall, a nice EDC knife that I would recommend.

Very nice knife. Well fitted, simple, solid construction. I really like it.

Small, more for the city than the wilderness. Any pocket knife from company "V" has similar capabilities.

I didn't get to enjoy it for long after purchase because as soon as my wife saw it, I had to give it to her :p Very good knife for someone who doesn't mind a little resistance when opening, not much, nice weight, great for summer with light pants.

Used daily, modest but impressive, clip does not damage pants.

Light, fits well in the hand. Looks nice if that matters to someone ;) Initially hard to open, but that's just a matter of time and it will break in. I recommend it.

very good quality, I recommend

I've been using it for five years. AUS-8 steel with high parameters, light and durable, performs great as an EDC knife. I recommend it to everyone.
