Dominion | Clip Point Survival Bowie | 80CRV2 Steel | Hamon - Differential Heat Treat

Dominion's traditional clip point design offers precision piercing and fast withdrawal, with a broad blade, wide belly and slight recurve for slicing and chopping. Dominion is the one to reach for whether fending off zombie hordes or surviving nature's extremes. Full-thickness extended tang is designed for crushing and pounding. The Dawson hamon is the visual representation of an elite, differentially-hardened heat treatment inspired by the master swordsmiths of ancient Japan. The dark area along the edge is the hardest (Rockwell C 63-64) part of the blade, and the lighter area on the flat and spine is tempered much softer (Rockwell C 20-25). This produces a superior blade with exceptional lateral strength, edge sharpness and retention, and impact shock resistance. Dominion also features a completely redesigned GEN 2 Carbon Fiber Kydex sheath, featuring an improved, rattle free fit, horizontal, vertical, MOLLE and beltless carry options and more. Backed by an industry-leading warranty and over 50 years' knifemaking experience, Dawson knives are a stronghold of American quality and craftsmanship.
