Kizer Riverbank Folding Pocket Knife, 2.99 In Nitro-V Steel Blade Micarta Handle Small EDC Knife with Clip Utility Knife for Men Women Everyday Carry Sharp Camping Survival V3717M3

Absolute delight of an EDC. Lightweight in the pocket with a super fidgety action. Nitro-V feels perfectly suitable for such a knife and has fared well in use so far.Flipper detent is great in both directions, and there’s no play in the lock. Perfect size, just inside of not too long and sits very slim in the pocket. Medium duty, not cut out for prying but confidence-inspiring in other axes.The wide scale chamfers feel great and make for an especially nice look with the brown micarta.I purchased on sale and feel I received an excellent value.

My first Kizer, i am impressed. First off the micarta version is incredibly light for a 3 inch knife at 2.4 oz. I have lighter knives but they aren't nearly as ergonomic and feel compromised in some way. This knife is AGGRESSIVELY skeletonized with about half the material removed from the steel liners. they could have just drilled some holes like most budget knives but they chose to do it right. There are many small details on this knife that show design experience beyond coming sharp. the scales are well contoured and shaped to help your thumb find the lock and a subtle downward angle that helps the blade "find" the work. A small swedge has been added to aid in piercing tasks and some gimping to help your thumb find purchase when choking up. The detent and flipper are well done making it both secure and easy to open. this all combines to make a knife that disappears in your pocket but uses like a regular edc. being very nitpicky it could have a bit better gimping on the blade and some added to the liner lock.

The media could not be loaded. I gave it 4 stars because the blade centering was off, and when fully open, looking down at the spine you can clearly see the blade favoring the clip side. That being said, action is great, hair-shaving sharp, it’s extremely lightweight and the 70’s looking butterscotch micarta even mesmerizes non-knife people. The face of the micarta is slick, more like resin than fabric. On the chamfers you can feel the texture of the fabric. This will stay in the collection simply because of the beautiful micarta. I’ve got it bad for this distressed vintage look and not many manufacturers offer this particular vibe. 👍

Wanted a good everyday pocket knife before I retire. I am 62 years old and have been carrying a pocket knife since I was about10. I will not spend a lot of money for a name. It surpassed my expeditions . It is light weight, the grip fits my hand good, perfect size, the blade is very solid in the open position, the blade is very sharp-too early to see how it holds an edge. I feel this a very good knife for the money.

Great value for money considering the nitro V steel. The build quality is very sturdy and will sustain abuse. Its a relatively lightweight pocket EDC. The look is of a vintage blade. Nitro V has great corrosion resistance

Great knife. Smooth action and great steel for the price. This was my first Kizer and I fell hard for the brand. I now have over 20 with more on the way.

Simple, good looking knife with excellent opening and locking action. Lock feels very secure. Feels great in the hand, micarta providing an excellent grip. Weight feels pretty balanced. The Nitro V blade is extremely sharp and straightforward to hone. Size is perfect for everyday use and legal carry in my jurisdiction. Materials and design are a combination of contemporary design features when you look up close and a classic aesthetic when you see it at a glance. It "looks like a pocketknife" rather than some sad "tacticool" paramilitary macho guy cliche that might "scare the h*s" as the kids say.

I love this knife. It felt quality as soon as I opened it. The action was smooth. And it came razor sharp out of the box. It's really easy to carry. And can switch clip sides for right and left hand carry. With the flipper tab opening it is a breeze. Only thing wrong when I got it blades wasn't perfectly centered. But I just watched a YouTube video and centered. Super easily. Just had to loosen the body screws and tighten back down
