Kizer Laconico Yorkie Frame Lock Knife Blue Ti (2.57" Stonewash) Ki3525A2

Got this knife because I love the Kizer simplicity and fit my bill as a lovely sub 3" knife. Some things to note is the anodize is a much duller mechanical blue instead of the ocean blue in the photos, but different lighting and even moisture from your hands can lead it to have different shades which is cool. The reason I can't give this knife 5 stars is the assembly. The knife comes in this wonderful decident three layer box thing with a lovely pouch... and the blade is gunked up. Used Nick S's video to disassemble it and saw that so much locktight was poured onto the pivot screw, it overflowed into the ball bearings. This is a common complaint I saw on Nick's youtube. Too much locktight. As for the Knife itself, it is a breeze to disassemble and clean and is very nice in the hand. Pocket clip has good retention and the detent provides enough tension to pop the blade out fast but you still can flick it lightly. Centering is great and stays centered even with tuning of the pivot screw. Two changes I would request if this knife ever got revisited. PLEASE turn that sharpening choil into a finger choil. Its half way there and it feels SO perfect to choke up on it. Get a full hand on the knife and lock it into your grip with the flipper tab. I'd also appreciate 3 or 4 groove cut into the flipper tab. Enough to add grip but still considered and simple to fit the vibe of the knife. Over all I'd highly recommend this knife, but be aware you most likely will need to disassemble it out of the box to clean the action up for a smooth flip.
