The KA-BAR Dozier Folding Hunter in Foliage Green is a no-nonsense, go-anywhere everyday carry folding knife designed with simplicity, performance, and practicality at its core. Built on Bob Dozier’s award-winning design, this lightweight folder brings together rugged materials, reliable construction, and a slim profile that’s easy to carry and even easier to appreciate.
The heart of this folding hunter is a 3-inch drop point blade made from tough D2 tool steel. Known for its incredible edge retention and durability, D2 is a semi-stainless steel that holds up to heavy use without constant maintenance. Whether you’re opening boxes, cutting rope, or handling daily utility tasks, this blade delivers consistent performance you can trust. The black finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance and minimizes glare, giving the knife a tactical, low-profile look.
Ambidextrous thumb studs make it easy to open the blade with either hand, offering smooth and intuitive one-handed operation. Once deployed, the tried-and-true lockback mechanism ensures the blade stays firmly in place until you’re ready to close it. It’s a dependable locking system that’s known for its strength and long-term reliability, making this knife a great option for users who want a fuss-free folder that works hard and doesn’t quit.
The handle is made from lightweight, durable Zytel in a subtle and versatile Foliage Green. Textured for a solid grip, the handle provides a secure feel without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s contoured to sit comfortably in your hand during extended use and tough enough to withstand real-world abuse. At just 2.4 ounces, it’s the kind of knife you’ll forget you’re carrying until you need it.
A tip-up pocket clip allows for deep, secure carry, keeping the knife ready and accessible whenever duty calls. The integrated lanyard hole gives you the option to add paracord or a pull tab, offering an extra touch of customization or utility depending on your style.
Closed, the knife measures 4.25 inches—compact enough to drop into your pocket without crowding your keys or phone. Opened, it stretches to 7.25 inches overall with a .11-inch blade thickness that balances slicing power and fine control. It’s the right size for everyday tasks without feeling oversized or underpowered.
The KA-BAR Dozier Folding Hunter is built for those who appreciate clean lines, quality steel, and straightforward functionality. It’s an ideal choice whether you’re headed out on a hike, tackling a day on the job, or just need a reliable knife to carry wherever you go.
