This Guru model is outfitted with a thumbstud opener 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:
Well done Kizer, love this little knife. Great detent, very comfortable in hand.
The fit and finish of the knife is absolutely impeccable, as is always the case with Kizer knives. The design of the knife is a mixed affair. The sheepfoot blade is amazing. It is a thick, heavy blade. The wide angle at the tip and the humongous blade width make this a good prybar substitute. You don't slice an apple with this knife. You decompose it. It's a pleasure to use a blade like this. The back of the handle is also not comfortable but tolerable. The choil unusability annoys me. The action of the knife is spectacular on my thumbstud. It feels surgical on deployment, and magically dropshotty on closing, also thanks to the blade weight. Summing up: this is a flawed but interesting knife, and I don't regret buying it. It's a steampunk knife. You don't want to have a version of a Bauhaus skyscraper in your pocket. It's a warped version of the future. The handle is uninspired. Dogtooth holes. Come on. Most importantly, the ergonomics is not great. There is a wide separating between the choil and the handle. It is not comfortable.
