They successfully deliver the most optimal knives as three generations of Dawson makers work together keeping up the quality in check.

But, now with over 47 years of experience, Dawson Knives has grown into one of the most reliable knife brands in the USA.

The wide range of knives that the company designs include EDC pocket knives, hunting knives, bushcraft knives, custom fixed blades, battle-ready swords, and bowies. What makes Dawson knives stand out is the high-grade materials used in making blades, handles, swords, and the fact that each blade is hand-crafted. With each generation, the knives' design and quality have gone to the next level. The Dawson range of products is perfect for all your needs in tactical situations.
