Kizer Original EDC Knife, Green Aluminum Handle and 3" Blade Pocket Knife with Thumb Stud, Daily Carry, V3605E2

Amazing quality! It has a super smooth action, and lockup is perfect with side-to-side or vertical play at all. Effortlessly flips open with a little flick of the wrist with the lock button pushed down, closes just as easy. Almost no detectible friction in the pivot at all.Lock-up is solid and the factory grind is very good, razor sharp.The Serape color scheme is absolutely beautiful! The milling of the G10 scales is super smooth and very soft to the touch.The case is just a good looking as the knife, and I really appreciate the extras that Kizer ships with these knives. A G10 lanyard barrel bead and dog tag that match the knife scales is a nice addition, and I always appreciate the extra screws, they've saved me a few times.Absolutely worth the price, you won't be disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. Love this knife, black copper looks and feels amazing. It does start to wear where you grip it fairly quickly but it adds to the knife’s character. And that **ching** when it opens is so satisfying. Very smooth action, came very sharp and at the reduced/discounted price it makes it a far better value than almost all the other options in the $40-$60 range. I have many knives in my collection and this one is absolutely one of my new favorites. It’s not a hard use knife that I would you camping or for survival; but rather more of a gentleman’s carry for edc task.

The fit and finish is excellent, easy enough to flick with thumb or middle finger, nice simple design. The carbon fiber is the star of the show and the contouring shows nice patterns as well as making the ergos great for such a small knife. It only weighs 2.05 ounces! 154cm is a good solid steel and keeps cost down but I would gladly have paid more for cf with s35vn level steel. Action is nice on the drop too, pretty easy to get the hang of getting to drop in one go with no bounce. I have a mini Bugout that has terrible action, plastic injection molded handles compared to this knifes beautiful cf and smooth action out of the box, and the Bugout was a bit more than twice as expensive albeit with s30v. Recommend this smallish knife for sure and I haven’t seen many carbon fiber this good on anything under $150.

I love this knife. It was my first Kizer and started an addiction. It's on the smaller side and relatively lightweight. Handle is super comfortable. Came super sharp out of the box. The lock is pretty smooth, but if you open it a little too hard the button can stick some. I wouldn't say is a hugely versatile knife, but great for most every day tasks. Definitely not a hard use knife. Even though the pictures dont look like it, it does come with the extras (pouch, lanyard bead, tag, and stickers).

Love this knife. I also have the aluminum version and it's one of my all time favorite edc knives, more beloved than some others I own that are ten times the cost. When I realized this model has been discontinued I purchased the copper version as well. This knife is just beautiful. The blade is solid with absolutely no play in any direction. It opens and closes super smoothly with a satisfying ping. The knife was kinda stiff and the lock button was a bit sticky at first but a bit of breaking in and then a tiny drop of Superlube fixed that completely. Probably gonna get one of the XL versions too before they are gone forever. This knife is an absolute bargain for the price and I have zero regrets about purchasing another one.

Arrived on time from Amazon, driver was great. Let's Break it down:Size- This knife is an ideal size for EDC purposes, especially for those that don't like larger heavier knives.Factory Edge- It came reasonably sharp out of box, nothing earth shattering but a working edge that will slice thin paper. They did a good job on the grind as well with it being ideal from side to side (great work Kizer!)Fit and Finish- Blade perfectly centered, all scale screws and pocket clip tight with no issues. G10 is well done and has great grip without being too much.Action/Button Lock- Action was a little tight and gritty at first but a drop of alcohol and then some KPL along with a very slight pivot adjustment got it just right. Basic knife stuff. Nice crisp detent, no blade play.Bottom Line- This is a great knife. You are getting a good steel for this price that is easy to sharpen and will hold an edge well enough for EDC tasks. Kizer's 154CM responds well to stropping for edge maintenance between sharpenings. Blade length and type is very versatile. You can't go wrong with this knife for the current price. So much value in this one.

As close to perfect as you can get for a budget knife. Great steel and urgo’s. Action is smooth and very fidgety.

The blade was razor sharp and shaved my arm effortlessly. The lock was crisp and engaged well. The issue was a rattling noise each time the knife was turned over, not shaken, but simply turned side to side slowly. A clear rattle. I’m not sure what it was, but I don’t want any rattling questions with a knife I’m carrying in my pocket.
