Kizer Cutlery

The Vanguard V3488.29CD brings a different take to Chris Conaway's iconic C01C design. This collaboration between Kizer and Sheepdog Knives combines the unmistakable craftsmanship of Conaway's custom knives with the precision of Kizer's manufacturing. Compact yet substantial, the knife's signature Nitro-V drop point blade emphasizes control and utility, making it especially well-suited for detailed everyday cutting tasks. Its Clutch Lock mechanism ensures fast, secure ambidextrous operation, while the bearing pivot provides the signature smoothness enthusiasts expect. The brown Norplex UltreX Micarta handle delivers a clean, purposeful look with a tactile, work-ready feel, balancing durability, grip, and understated style for everyday use. Complete with a reversible deep-carry clip, this model maintains the work-ready strength and everyday practicality that define the Sheepdog legacy.

Vanguard Series

The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as VG10 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.

Tools share a common goal and purpose. That purpose is performance, reliable to the end. Kizer brings you the Vanguard Series, created with the purpose of distilling the essence of the Bladesmith and Prime Series into tools that excel in being used. This may not be your only knife, but this will be the knife you carry and use every day!
