Dawson Knives began 50 years ago in a dilapidated barn, using machinery cobbled together with parts from the local landfill. Barry Dawson started Dawson Knives in 1973, after his tour of duty in Vietnam. Now retired, Barry continues to consult on new designs and processes.
As time passed and his children grew, they fell in love with knives and creating beautiful tools that would last a lifetime. Today, a third generation of Dawson's sons and daughters have learned knife-making and worked to fill the shoes of their parents and grandparents and take Dawson Knives into the next 50 years.
Roy, a second-generation Dawson knife maker who received personal instruction from Barry Dawson, has been creating and manufacturing custom knives for more than 20 years. He currently oversees operations at Dawson Knives.
Dawson Knives also makes rare and one-of-a-kind pieces, like Damascus bowies and European and Asian-inspired swords, created by Dennis Cook

G'day Bob! You must have a very tolerant family, allowing you to devote so much time and effort to some dorks on the internet! Thanks girls!

[@ryanjordan7268]

Happy Father's Day.

[@stuartrollings602]

[@Robertlynschultz]

I own an example of their Kissami, love that thing.

Happy Father’s Day Bob, thank you for another great interview. I’m definitely going to check at Dawson knives , they look awesome and I love that there a family business. I’m an Arizonan born in Phoenix and it’s great to find out there from Prescott az. I’ve only been in the knife hobby about five or six years but it’s always cool learning that so many companies are in the Arizona and I didn’t know it. Medford, M3 tactical, and Jack wolf, and I remember one of your interviews that Doug Ritter lives here.

Does the copper finish make the steel softer?
