This Guru model is outfitted with a flipper blade and a titanium handle with a milled hole design. Matt Degnan and Kizer have done it again with the compact and functional Guru frame lock knife. Titanium handles and S35VN blade steel come standard with options for milled or plain handles and flipper or thumbstud openers. Based on Matt's Degnan custom the "MC", this knife design honors his knife Guru, designer Matt Cucchiara.
Features:
Absolutely love this entry from Kizer. Ti is grippy while retaining elegance of titanium, the mulled out holes in scales reduce weight while still adding to the overall aesthetic. Action is incredible, flips open a little stiff, but the drop shut may be the best I’ve ever felt besides a BM on an axis lock with omega springs. The online style deep carry pocket clip is in the perfect position, rides just deep enough for a landyard which I prefer, and has just the right retention. The hollow ground S35VN modified wharncliffe blade is so slicey, I mean as I always say, lightsaber sharp. Gave it a quick touch up and could probably shave with it. For $110 this is without a doubt the best Ti option out there.
Glad I bought this before it's out of stock.
Amazing knife, great texture on the scales and a tough blade. Near perfect action. I doubt you can find a better ti framelock for the money. Very fidgety Only cons are the screws on mine like to backout but that can be fixed with locktite and it snail trails easily.
I was unsure when I ordered this knife because some of the YouTube reviews were mixed on it for reasons that seemed a little petty to me. But Kizer has always pleased me with their quality. This knife is no exception. Yes, the blade is thick and yes it is a bit heavy but the action is smooth and yes it will do about any job I ask it to. It has a smooth flipper with no hot spots on the handle (at least for me). Great blade and well worth it in my estimation.
Thick, heavy knife. Very nice fit and finish. The blade is not nearly as sharp as my Bugout or ZT 0450. Packaging is something else like I bought a swiss watch. This knife has its place. When you find out where that is let me know...
I bought this knife during the National Knife Day sale event for $104.99, and I am happy I did. Action is amazing (because it's a Kizer, need I say more?), blade has stayed sharp, and the handle is surprisingly really comfortable with the holes in the handle. The pocket clip is super easy to go in and out of the pocket. My only complaint is the the detent is a little lacking. You have to put a little more effort into actuating the flipper. It's probably from the weight of the blade (it's a bit of a chunky boi). Overall, though, it is a great knife for the $100 price range. However, I don't think I would recommend it for $185. Either purchase one of the other models, or if you really want this specific model, wait for the price to drop.
