KizerOriginal 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.

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.

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).

The media could not be loaded. I love Kizer knives and just cannot give them a bad review but I do have some complaints about this knife but it could be perfect for you.first off the handle is just square and feels off it’s a tad short so it doesn’t fit well in the hand on deployment and it sounds hollow it’s not really hollow it’s the aluminum but sounds funny opening and closing,I really wanted to have a little weight with this knife but it’s extremely lightweight and the texture is kinda like really fine sandpaper great for grip but it kinda sands your skin off (not painfully)!! The blade is perfect very sharp but no jimping,beautiful knife but that handle just sucks go for the copper one if you want weight and these push button locks work but they seem to really slow the blade down and if you close it to hard the blade bounces back up and the knife handle rings out in a noise like a tin can I have a cheap Kizer ppy that’s now discontinued but it’s the smoothest thing ever I was hoping for that I think the liner locks with thumb studs are best for that fidget factor which this knife doesn’t have ,going to send it back for something my style hope this helps someone

If it comes tight and sticky, don't give up on it. When I first got mine I thought I just didn't have the necessary hand strength or coordination for thumb studs. My other knife is a Praxis and it flips open with crazy adrenaline. I was going to return this knife (Kizer Original) because it was so stiff. Instead, I just kept using it and in a few days, it totally broke in. It is so snappy now and opens with an easy flick of the thumb!!! The blade is great for slicing cardboard. The Kizer Original looks elegant and its size is a little on the small size, which I love. Makes for a perfect EDC knife. I hardly know I am carrying it. So be patient if it comes in a little sticky. Mine broke in and I love it now. The button broke in after a day or two and works awesome now too.
