Nitro V Steel Blade

The Nitro V Steel Blade features German steel construction, providing excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. This ensures a reliable and durable cutting experience.

PEI(Ultem) Handles:

Featuring PEI (yellow) transparent handle patches, it allows visibility of the internal workings through the handle, creating a perfect fusion of structure and design. The handle is textured for a comfortable grip and increased friction area, providing stronger traction for a better user experience.

Clutch Lock

A new type of crossbar locking system. The Clutch lock is designed at the handle, with a unique appearance and high safety in use. The Clutch lock system includes the Clutch bar, adjustable Gemini Spring system, and DED system. The Clutch bar is the lock bar that locks the knife and is also pulled to unlock the knife. The Gemini Spring system is designed with two omega springs and 5 holes on each side of the handle liners. That not only means, the Gemini Spring system has only 5 levels to adjust, but five times five to be 25 customisable options! The strongest level can be chosen for the thumb side and the third level can be chosen for the weaker index finger on the other side. Twins but on a different level that’s why we call it the Gemini Spring system. The DED system is short for the D-shape Easy Disassembling system which is the most important part of the whole locking system since the easy disassembly simplifies the adjustment of the springs.

Vanguard Series

The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as VG10 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.

Tools share a common goal and purpose. That purpose is performance, reliable to the end. Kizer brings you the Vanguard Series created with the purpose of distilling the essence of the Bladesmith and Prime Series into tools that excel in being used. This may not be your only knife, but this will be the knife you carry and use every day!
