Very slicey and utilitarian blade shape, ideal EDC profile. The anodized aluminum resists scratches very well and provides enough grip for daily tasks.
The smoothness of the clutch lock is better than all but one of my Axis-lock Benchmades, and that’s really saying something considering the price difference. Will be getting a premium edition Drop Bear whenever I can find one for sale!
I want to end by saying I used to be a USA made only knife collector (I own multiple of Benchmade, Spyderco, Emerson, Stryder, Medford, DPX) but I’m really glad I took a chance on Kizer. They’re the only Chinese manufacturer I buy from - the consistent build quality and customer service just won me over. I’ve never handled a Kizer I didn’t like, and I’m on my 13th purchase, with 2 more lined up as soon as the next release wave hits!
Keep it up Kizer!
