NEW RELEASE | Holdout | Heritage Camp + Field Bowie | NEW Pop's ProCut Steel | Rainstorm Blade Finish

Holdout is an American legend refined, reimagined and reborn - a tried-and-true camp, field and survival bowie crafted for the elite outdoorsman. Precision designed by Dawson's master craftsmen, Holdout features a customized grind for a tough, razor sharp edge and best-in-class performance in the field. Optimized balance offers fast deployment and targeted chopping.

We chose American-made G10 for our handle scales - tough, waterproof and virtually impervious to the elements. Then we developed our own signature Topographic handle contouring, specifically designed to maximize contact with your hand and reduce friction for a comfortable, secure grip. 

Holdout is crafted from the latest advance in modern metallurgy—NEW, heavy-duty 3/16" stock Pop's ProCut steel. ProCut is the latest hard-wearing, sharp shavin', take-a-hit-and-keep-coming invention of Dr. Larrin Thomas, the brilliant mind behind CPM-MagnaCut. ProCut stands toe-to-toe with MagnaCut in field and endurance tests, more than holding its own where it counts and demonstrating exceptional impact resistance, lateral strength and edge sharpness and retention. See how ProCut stacks up.
