For many years as a young man, he sold his handmade knives in his home state of Louisiana to hunters who appreciated his pieces for their hardness and edge holding ability. Mr. Dozier continued making knives throughout the 1960’s, ever striving to reach for new levels of fit and finish in his work.
By 1971 Mr. Dozier’s work was recognized as some of the best and he was asked to work #4080 with A.G. Russell, prominent knife dealer, to help save the Morseth Knife Company from extinction. The next three years proved to be both invaluable and incredibly taxing. While much was learned about his craft during that period, Mr. Dozier eventually experienced “burnout” and went back to his job as an ironworker. He traveled the eastern half of the United States and carried with him his knife making equipment, managing to make a few dozen knives per year in his spare time. #4070 Many years later, after a short return to making Morseth knives for A.G. Russell, Mr. Dozier started up/opened/founded Bob Dozier Knives, making fine handmade pieces he sold at shows, via internet, and through dealers.
Thirty years after Mr. Dozier first started making knives in a manufacturing setting, he came to KA-BAR with a large side lock folding knife prototype he suggested the company consider for mass production. Working with KA-BAR’s team to modify the knife design and make it practical for large scale production, the Dozier Thorn was final- ized for sale at the end of 2001 and introduced to the world in 2002.
Today, KA-BAR offers eighteen Dozier #4071 designed products and work is always in #4081 progress/constantly/continually underway to come up with the next great collaboration.

#1484CB John Benner, Tactical Defense Institute
Based on his personal experiences as a 33-year veteran police Lieutenant and as the President #1485CB and chief instructor of Tactical Defense Institute, John Benner felt strongly that there was a need #1485 for an effective knife for close-quarters defense. In his classes at TDI, Mr. Benner noticed what, from first hand experience, he had already believed to be true. In a conflict, fine motor skills deteriorate and gross motor skills are the #1484FG most effective for fending off assailants.
With this in mind, Mr. Benner set out to design a low-profile or concealable fixed blade knife for law enforcement and other military and #1485FG security personnel that could be drawn quickly and efficiently in times of duress. He brought • #1482 straight edge, black the basic concept for the knife to KA-BAR in #1483 serrated, black 2003.

Shortly after his time in service he moved to the U.S. where he had the opportunity to meet and train with John Benner and his team at Tactical Defense Institute.It didn’t take long for Mr. Janda’s skills as a student there to be noticed. He quickly built credibility and a rapport with TDI founder, John Benner, and was asked to instruct firearms, knife, and empty hand skills classes at the institute.
In 2004, Mr. Janda established FIN Designs, LLC, for the purpose of manufacturing custom- made holsters and handgun accessories. Drawing from his years of interest in knives, Mr. Janda also began designing and producing concealable aftermarket knife sheaths.
Having had success with his sheath business, Mr. Janda took his interest a step further and designed several models of both folding and fixed blade knives.
In 2007, Mr. Janda shared his knife designs with KA-BAR and after a year of development and fine tuning, the eight knives you see here #5554 were first offered for sale.
