Kizer Exist folding knife - practical and durable.
The head with a classic Drop Point profile is made of 154CM stainless steel , which provides high corrosion resistance, excellent durability and long-lasting sharpness of the cutting edge. The satin finish gives the blade a slightly matte effect, less prone to visible signs of use.
Thanks to ceramic ball bearings and a double-sided peg, the blade opens smoothly and precisely, allowing intuitive one-handed operation - for both right- and left-handed users. The notched back of the blade provides stable support for the thumb, which increases control of the knife for precision cuts.
Safety in use is guaranteed by the innovative Clutch Lock, based on the Gemini mechanism. It consists of two omega-shaped springs and five holes on both liners, which gives as many as 25 options for adjusting the locking force to suit individual user preferences. Easy removal of the liners allows quick personalization of the mechanism. The ergonomic aluminum handle gives the knife a sleek look and provides a firm, stable grip. At its tip there is a hole for a rope or key ring, and the whole is completed by a two-position clip, allowing the knife to be carried conveniently in a pocket or on an equipage.
A microfiber cloth for cleaning the blade is included, as well as spare screws and springs, allowing for easy maintenance and adjustment of the knife.
