Have to say, I'm impressed with the build quality and materials in this Chinese knife. Solid lockup, not blade play whatsoever. For a bigger folder, it's fairly lightweight too. Kizer Ki5414A1 4" S35VN steel blade Titanium liners & pocket clip     |

And they can stamp whatever they want on the blade and that doesn't make it so. Chinese 440C isn't always the same as other countries' 440C. It's a nice looking knife and appears to be well made with some interesting touches. Chris |

I had considered the black version around Christmas as a gift to myself. knifecenter listed the status as "delayed by manufacturer" so I bailed.
Would be nice if the clip mounted closer to the edge for deep pocket carry Quoted:

I wasn't impugning Kizer's reputation, specifically, just stating that the Chinese can and do stamp anything they want on certain products and that fact alone, doesn't make it so. Chris |
