Kizer Sheepdog C01C XL S35VN Blade Titanium Handle Ki5488A1 (3.94" Black Stonewash)

The Sheepdog XL really is a huge folding knife. But its benefits transcend its sheer size. The blade to handle ratio is insanely good, the big flat grind comes down to an exceptionally sharp factory edge and the overall ergonomics fit the knife well in the hand. I see only one downside with this edition: holding it in hand, it feels quite heavy, no wonder considering it's all metal. But now for the real question: When does the XXL Sheepdog arrive?

Globalement satisfait par le couteau mais je m’attendais à mieux, possédant déjà une version de base en 154cm, ce couteau me plaisait particulièrement, japrreciais la fluidité de son ouverture/fermeture seul l’acier me paraissait un peu mou…la version titane/framelock est malheureusement beaucoup moins fluide, le S35vn est notablement plus tranchant mais la différence de prix me fait regretter mon achat d’autant plus que des frais de douanes sont venus s’y ajouter. Dommage le couteau parfait n’existe pas mais le Sheepdog XL de base s’en rapproche plus que ce modèle.

I was really shocked after opening box. On compare with normal ver. this knife od really big! All is cool.

- nice packaging (for gifting or not gifting).
- very sturdy knife
- sharp & opens well right out of the box.
- nicely presented : Titanium Handle & pocket clip , black washed clever blade, Brass Accents (screws, bosses, pivot bolster).
- Too large to be an EDC KNIFE, but definitely has its place in the fold up knife world.
I have all 3 sizes of the SHEEPDOG KNIFE, love them all. The XL version is too big for an EDC KNIFE, but is perfect for a work utility, camping, hiking, backpacking and a portable fold-up food prep knife whether at home, back yard grilling, picnicking or indoors in your own kitchen. I’m hoping in the near future KIZER presents the SHEEPDOG KNIFE COLLECTION in a 1/3 serrated edition (mini, regular, XL sizes). I think a serrated version would take this knife over the top for every use you would like to appoint it.
KIZER, keep up the good work manufacturing and developing nicely presented knives.
Thanks,

The fit, finish, and feel of this knife are excellent. It came out of the box shaving-sharp, the blade stays retained in the closed position well but opens smooth and quick.
The handle is quite large, perfect for those of us that wear xxl gloves. If you’re looking for an awesome larger-scale EDC this is the one.
