Ka-Bar 4062FG Dozier Hunter 3" Folding Drop Point AUS-8A Blade

The Ka-Bar 4062FG Dozier Hunter delivers precision cutting performance in a compact folding design built for demanding field use. This collaboration with renowned knifemaker Bob Dozier combines traditional hunting knife geometry with modern materials and manufacturing excellence. The 3-inch drop point blade handles skinning, processing, and general cutting tasks with surgical precision.

What Makes This Different

Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel sets this knife apart from standard hunting folders that rely on softer steel alloys. The steel achieves 58-60 HRC hardness while maintaining excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Bob Dozier's drop point geometry optimizes the blade profile for controlled cuts and precise tip work, eliminating the belly-heavy design flaws common in mass-produced hunting knives.

Key Features

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without handle degradation or lock failure. The AUS-8A steel maintains working sharpness through extended processing sessions while resisting chip damage from bone contact. Hunters appreciate the blade's ability to separate hide from meat cleanly without tearing, while the compact profile fits standard belt sheaths and pack compartments.
