I have owned a Dosier knife for many years. NOT impressed. The handle is smooth and slippery. "Notch" to stop hand from sliding forward is not effective. It slipped out of my hand once while reaching up to cut the wind pipe in a whitetail deer. Trying to find it was not fun. When pulling the knife out of the sheath to use it is very easy to cut yourself. Last thing is the knife developed several deep "pock" marks from rust on the blade. They look like pot holes in a road. Never had that happen to a knife before. Would seem to indicate a soft steel was use to build the knife. I sprayed the handle with truck bed liner, polished the blade as best I could and put one inch silicone tape around the sheath to protect my hand from getting cut when taking the knife out. It seems to be made to be a "show" knife and not something to use for hunting.

Just the best as always , Very nice of Bob to take time and share his skills with all of us. Happy trails
Love the information.
i noticed that you dont put glue between the spacers, is there a reson for this?
I make knives and have just started with hidden tangs. What kind of screw are you using and also the brass nut
