Description

KUKI3637A2: Ki3637A2 Jacob Lundquist Varatas Front Flipper Knife - Blackout

Kizer Cutlery

Sleek, slim, and beautiful, the Varatas from Jacob Lundquist - not to be confused with fellow knife designer Justin Lundquist - and Kizer Cutlery gets the job done. The unique milling pattern encompasses the majority of the titanium handle, providing both texture and great aesthetics. The integral frame lock maintains excellent sturdiness and stability, allowing this blade to work as hard as you need it to. Quick action and an unassuming appearance make this blade border on "gentleman's knife" territory while remaining a hard-use front flipper, thus cementing this as a fantastic design.

Cons: None
For the Design
Awesome knife. The design features are really what set this piece apart - the milling on the titanium handle, the lightning titanium accents, the pocket clip filler tab, the square pivot nut and the overall lines. Other features are what you'd expect on a $175 Kizer: crisp deployment on bearings, nice and thin behind the edge, even factory bevels and extra hardware (thank you!!). The scales are aggressively milled out internally so it's surprisingly lightweight. I don't need a front flipper but it's nice to have another option I guess. This isn't one for the warehouse, the Varatas is for going out on weekends. Kinda wish the pocket clip and filler tab would've been radiused with the scales, but it's a small gripe. My example has the newer Kizer logo on the blade, which I prefer, though the less billboarding the better

Better than I expected
First off... appearance. It's understated, until you start to look at details. The milling of the scales, the inset chidori captured nut on the pivot, the perfectly mated blind insert for the ambi clip. And the murdered out black look to everything. This is my first front flipper (out of 9 folders in my collection so far) and it took a little to get used to it and break it in, but I can now use it effectively and also the thumb hole for front and reverse flicking. Acoustics are nice due to the solid titanium frame. Rock solid lock up. I have it razor sharp after stropping, but the factory edge was fantastic to begin with. It's a slicer. Finally...and not really important to me, but it's so light weight, you'll never know it's in your pocket. One drawback personally, is there's no allowance for a lanyard, and I am a lanyard guy, but I'll live with it. Fantastic little knife, especially for the price!
