I have about 20+ knives that I choose from everyday to carry. This one is a favorite. It especially feels right when wearing dress or business casual attire. It is classy, sleek and unique.This is my first front-flipper and I really enjoy it. After a bit of practice, the novelty makes it fun to deploy just for kicks and to challenge your friends.It has a nice heft to it but may be too much for some in dress pants. I don't mind it though.Construction is solid, tolerances seem tight.I almost returned because it stopped locking when open. Something didn't seem right so I opened it up and a small piece of pocket lint and lodged in just the right place! Some compressed air might have fixed the problem easier. Glad I kept it.I would recommend this knife to any friend.

This is a great knife. I have become a fan of the Kizer knives for value and quality. Having used many different brands, I have started to gravitate to the flipper type for ease of use and comfort.For and EDC I prefer a smaller blade. It is often somewhat intimidating to others to take out a flipper knife with a 4 inch blade. Flicking it open to cut a box or strap may produce a look of surprise from the casual onlooker.This knife is sharp as a razor blade and has a low profile in the pocket. The titanium handles look great and the action is smooth.I downgraded it one star as the thumb flipper is not quite as convenient as a top flipper. However, with a little practice, it works well.And, the S35VN steel is great. Hard enough to hold an edge and not impossible to sharpen.Try it....

This knife is pretty decent, I love front flippers and this does it well. That being said,it doesn't have a reversible pocket clip which I still don't understand why because it has a metallic body that could easily be tapped for screw holes, knife companies and manufacturers really need to start thinking about us lefties. A gigantic corporation like Kizer, heck even smaller ones, it makes NO sense why they can't tap the body on frame locks or the liners on a liner locks. It uses a mediocre steel that was decent 8 years ago but now, there are so many other steels that this Knife could have utilized, especially in this price range. If it was asking around 80- 100 $ that would be alot better

Looks and feels very nice and top-notch materials and build quality. Excellent edging and curves all around. Good for fidgeting and opening letters. Opening is smooth but not dropping smooth. Front flipping became natural after a few hours of practice. It's small but just right size for its purpose. I like it.Note: This is right-hand-only knife. Due to its small size, the pocket clip is very necessary for leverage when "front" flipping with your thumb. Without the pocket clip on your grip, the knife could slip and fly out of your hand. Pocket clip holes are located only on the back side.

I've had this knife for a few years and have been happy with it. The fit and feel is perfect for EDC. However The Titanium Pocket Clip described here is NOT titanium. I've never had a device, tool, utensil or anything else made of titanium that bends at a 90 degree angle getting caught on a car door, and fractures the titanium. You can see the break line in the clip bent back to semi-original position. It's a great little knife, worth the money, just be aware of this little bit of false advertising.

I like the simplicity and practicality of this knife. The right size to fit in your pocket easily, with just enough weight to reassure but not so much it drags down at your pants. Nice easy flipper mechanism and good, locking blade.I would rather they made it possible to remove the pocket clip, which I don't use; but it's no big deal for me. This has quickly become my out of work everyday carry knife.

This knife melds to my hand.Once you get used to the opening flip action, you’ll want to keep it in your hand all the time. Smooth, sturdy, and beautiful best describe it. Excellent quality and design.

The blade rides very smoothly on bearings. I’m addicted to flipping this knife open and closed while I’m working st my desk. Came with a beautifully sharp edge.
