The Surgeon & Surgeon-R: Compact Blades with Big Capability
When it comes to cutting tools, versatility and durability are non-negotiable. The Dauntless Manufacturing Surgeon and its ring-handled sibling, the Surgeon-R, embody those traits in a compact, purpose-driven design. Whether you need a reliable EDC companion, a field-ready game knife, or a plate carrier utility blade, these scalpels-in-spirit are built to deliver.
Everyday Carry, Elevated
The Surgeon series is designed to fill the same role as your go-to pocket knife—but with the added strength and confidence that comes from a fixed blade. The slim, low-profile sheath is purpose-built to ride in your front pocket, staying secure and accessible without adding bulk. Quick to deploy and easy to re-sheath, the Surgeon is always ready when it’s time to cut cordage, open packages, or handle the dozens of small tasks that come up during your day.
Field-Ready for Bird & Trout
The Surgeon’s nimble blade geometry also shines outdoors. Like the traditional bird and trout knives carried by generations of sportsmen, it’s well suited for delicate work in the field. Whether you’re cleaning a fresh catch or breaking down game, the fine control and scalpel-like precision of the Surgeon make it a natural second blade to keep alongside your primary hunting knife—especially for caping and detailed processing.
Duty-Grade Versatility
For those who run a plate carrier, the Surgeon offers another layer of utility. Mounted in an accessible position, it becomes a reliable tool for quick, everyday administrative tasks—cutting zip ties, tape, or cordage—without pulling your primary blade. And in an emergency, it can serve as a last-ditch “get off me” tool, ready to deploy in tight spaces where every second matters.

Small Blade. Serious Performance.
The Surgeon and Surgeon-R prove that a compact knife can punch well above its weight. From the job site to the trail, from the kitchen to the range, they’re designed to be carried daily, used hard, and trusted when it counts.
