I have been looking for one of these for a while. Dozier doesn't make too many of his big fighters, and his waiting list is three years long now. This is a variant of the KM-1 Ranger, with a blade like the KM-16 Freedom Fighter. He calls it a KM-19 Improved Ranger. D2 steel, as usual with Dozier. The blade is 6 1/4". The handle is green canvas micarta. It is big, but feels good in the hand, and isn't too heavy.

I am impressed. The colored linings are a nice cosmetic touch, and I didn't know he makes these with a tapered tang, which is super-cool and improves balance.

Very nice!

A work of functional art.

Very nice! That is simply beautiful.

Very nice.
I used to have a Freedom Fighter but sold it to a member here.

There's nice and then there's special nice.
I had to save a pic just to imagine holding it.

SAweeet!!! Beautiful work there friend!!!!!! LOVE the tapered tang!

Dozier makes great knives, I have a toothpick that I love.

That is slick, love it. I always mention the Green/Brown Micarta and red liners is my favorite, non natural handle combo. The tapered tang certainly adds to this!!
