This is a really nice knife. Fit and finish are superb and the action is great with no blade play and solid lock up at about 40%. The 3.5 inch blade is real nice to have in a slim and lightweight package.I felt compelled to write this because of some complaints about being difficult to open. It’s not unless you put pressure on the frame lock bar when opening. This is not specific to this knife and putting pressure on any frame lock bar on almost any knife can impede its action. Some are better than others at addressing this universal issue. This knife is not one of them. Just learn to open it without pressure on the lock bar and it’s perfect.

This is a great knife for the price. It is precision crafted with nothing but premium materials. The blade steel is wonderful and the design is pocket worthy to say the least. I am not sure if I just got an obnoxiously hard to press (rear flipper specific one) or if all of them are finger shredding rough to open. As a result of this I returned this knife. Please do not confuse this with how awesome this knife actually is. What a piece of functioning art.

First bad run with Kizer who otherwise make quality knives. Only flipped open with great difficulty. Most times jammed and stuck shut. The tab did not provide enough leverage to deploy the blade so I’m wondering if this is actually a design flaw. Otherwise great blade, great look. Just didn’t open. Not giving up on kizer yet.

This knife is awesome
