Designed with the American working man in mind, the rugged Contractor EDC is built from heavy-duty .210" CPM-MagnaCut steel to stand up to all your toughest jobs and toughest environments. Our beefiest EDC to date, the Contractor features a wider blade and thicker handle than any of our standard EDCs to give you plenty to hold onto in a compact, easy to carry package.  

CPM-Magnacut stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion or staining, and thanks to our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels. 

Our American-made G10 handle says, "Aw, that's cute" to rain, snow, mud and just about anything else you can think of. We designed all our handles for secure, comfortable, hot-spot free use in all seasons and textured them for improved grip when the going gets wet.

The Contractor also features a completely redesigned GEN 2 Carbon Fiber Kydex sheath, featuring an improved, rattle free fit, horizontal, vertical, MOLLE and beltless carry options and more. Specially designed for compatibility with the included UltiClip 3.3 Slim for secure, inside-the-pocket carry on the jobsite or around the ranch.  

Maximize your knife's versatility with GEN 2's new precision milled, interchangeable handle scales upgrade. Exclusively compatible with the GEN 2 Contractor.
