SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Dawson Knives Gen 2 Outcast is a compact fixed blade built to deliver exceptional strength, cutting performance, and reliability in a streamlined package. Designed for everyday carry yet robust enough for demanding field use, this knife is a testament to Dawson’s reputation for premium craftsmanship and high-performance materials. Whether you’re carrying it as a discreet defensive tool, a dependable companion in the outdoors, or simply as part of your EDC lineup, the Gen 2 Outcast delivers purpose-driven design in every detail.
At the core of this knife is a 3.125-inch drop point blade forged from CPM Magnacut, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. Known for its remarkable combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, Magnacut is an ideal choice for a knife that needs to withstand daily use and unpredictable environments. The midnight finish not only adds a sleek, non-reflective appearance but also helps reduce glare and enhances the blade’s resistance to wear, giving it both style and performance in equal measure.
The full tang construction ensures maximum durability and strength, allowing the knife to perform confidently under pressure. Every cut, slice, or pierce is backed by the integrity of a solid, continuous steel foundation. Paired with the blade is a striking handle crafted from orange and black G-10. This material provides a secure, slip-resistant grip in any conditions, from wet environments to sweaty hands. The textured surface and ergonomic shaping ensure the knife stays comfortable in hand even during extended use, while the vivid orange accents add visibility and character.
Measuring 8 inches overall and weighing just 4 ounces, the Gen 2 Outcast strikes the perfect balance between portability and presence. Its slim, lightweight profile makes it easy to carry all day without bulk, yet it’s substantial enough to inspire confidence when deployed. For carry options, the knife includes an IWB Kydex sheath designed for security, accessibility, and discreet everyday wear. The sheath ensures the Outcast is always close at hand while providing fast, smooth deployment when it’s needed most.
Built for those who refuse to compromise between toughness, style, and functionality, the Dawson Knives Gen 2 Outcast is a compact powerhouse ready to take on any challenge. From its advanced steel to its rugged design, it’s a fixed blade that punches well above its size.
