The illustrated Kizer Knife is the Kizer c01c Sheepdog Knife, made in collaboration with Chris Conaway, that features a 3.30" cleaver style sheepsfoot blade made of CPM S35VN stainless steel. The blade of this Kizer Knife has a swedged spine and nose, a stonewash finish and a flipper for ambidextrous one hand opening. Features: Premium CPM-S35VN blade steel provides excellent wear resistance and edge retention. Skeletonized titanium handle offers top-notch durability and a lightweight frame. Ball bearing pivot for swift, responsive blade deployment. Kizer uses high-tech wire EDM machines to cut the parts. This method is slower than laser or water jet but Kizer feels the quality is worth the wait. Each component in Kizer knives is precision machined and engineered to the finest tolerances. The final fit, finish, action and sharpness of each knife is achieved entirely by hand, employing the irreplaceable craftsmanship developed by generations of cutlery masters. Dedicated craftsman honoring the long-term goal of making the best knives possible is what Kizer brings to you.
