In the deep forests of Louisiana, where the heritage of knifemaking is deeply rooted, the tradition is passed down from generation to generation. Legendary knifemaker Bob Dozier is an icon who has made the art of knifemaking his life's work. Inspired by his grandfather, he began making knives as a boy and quickly gained recognition for his craftsmanship.
Today we enter the world of the tiny Ka-Bar Dozier Mini Folder, an EDC knife designed by Bob Dozier. With a blade length of 6 cm and an overall length of 14.5 cm, this knife is a compact version of his famous Dozier Folding Hunter.
The Mini Dozier is a real all-rounder. Its AUS-8A steel blade with a light matte finish offers remarkable sharpness and cutting performance. The drop-point blade shape with a slight hollow grind enables precise work in many areas of application, be it carving, cutting or other outdoor tasks. What makes the knife particularly light yet robust is its Zytel handle. Zytel is a modern composite material that is known for its hardness and resistance to external influences such as abrasion, heat, cold and moisture. This handle offers reliable handling and lies securely in the hand even in damp conditions.
The one-handed opening of the Ka-Bar Dozier Mini Folder allows for quick and easy handling, while the back-lock locking mechanism ensures safety and stability. This locking mechanism is tried and tested for a reason and is used over and over again. This knife is perfect for everyday use, whether in the forest, on hikes or as a reliable companion in everyday life.
With the Dozier Mini Folder, Ka-Bar has fulfilled the expectations of quality and robustness associated with the name Bob Dozier. Despite its compact size, this knife makes no compromises and proves that sometimes good things come in small packages.
For anyone looking for a reliable, functional and handy knife that honors the tradition of knifemaking and reflects the vision of its legendary designer, the magnificent Dozier Mini Folder is undoubtedly a remarkable choice.

KA-BAR is a renowned knife company that originated in the USA in 1890. The original company that launched the famous hunting knife "Model 1219C2" with a 17 cm long Bowie blade was called "Union Cutlery Company". Only 8 years later the company was renamed "Tidioute Cutlery Company". However, it was not until the Second World War that the KA-BAR knife became world famous. The US military was looking for an improved weapon for close combat and found the perfect solution in the KA-BAR knife. Major Howard America adapted the design of the knife in 1942 and it became the "KA-BAR-US Navy and Marine Corps Utility Knife MKII" with an extended blade length of 17.8 cm, weight reduction and an oval leather handle made of pressed leather discs. It proved itself in the military and was used as one of the most popular close combat weapons until today.
After the war, the company was renamed "KA-BAR Cutlery Inc." in 1952 and is now based in Olean, New York. In addition to the KA-BAR knife, the company also offers various special series and variations of knives. The KA-BAR knife is still available today as the "Full-Size USMC KA-BAR, Straight Edge".
The origin of the name "KA-BAR" is not exactly clear, but it may derive from "kill a bear" or as an abbreviation for "Knife Attached - Browning Automatic Rifle". The Browning Automatic Rifle was also part of the standard inventory of the infantry squad in WW2. Today, the KA-BAR knife is known as the forefather of combat and mission knives and enjoys worldwide popularity.
