Description:

The Original from Kizer Knives might look familiar to Kizer fans, as it's sporting the same eye-catching colorway and button lock as the Kizer Cormorant. The primary difference between the two models is the Original has a classic profile with a no-nonsense drop point blade, a pair of thumb studs, and a straightforward handle shape. The Original also comes at a shallower price point, making it easier for you to get your hands on one. Kizer excels at making hard-working knives that are fun to fidget with; once you add this folder to your collection, you'll find it takes both "hard-working" and "fun to fidget with" to the extreme. Taste a new level of EDC excellence with the Kizer Original.
