Kizer Assassin Micarta Red V3549C2

This is one hell of a good knife for this price point! Well built, great steel, and I really like the Micarta Red. Another great EDC knife...

As in all Kizer knives I have owned, the action and quality build of the Assassin is top notch. The button lock and the sound and feel of the blade snapping back into the handle makes for a great fidgeting mechanism. The blade is razor sharp and nicely holds an edge as expected for 154CM steel.

The Assassin is a fun little flipper that I have been playing with since I got it. It had a little button stick when I got it but is being quickly worked out with use. It slides in and out of my Jean pocket with ease. The flipper tab works great and the edge is sharp and slicey.

I like this knife a lot. The size is nice for a comfortable carry, the flick open is pretty fast and very smooth. The knife arrived well sharpened and with no flaws on the scales or blade. It has a really nice look open and closed. I really like the push button lock - it allows an easy one-handed close and makes the knife fun to fidget with. The push button also allows you to open the knife by pushing the button and flicking your wrist, which is fun. Kizer also shipped right away, I ordered it on a Thursday night and received it the following Monday.

Overall a good knife. Needs to come sharpened. The blade was quite dull.
