KUV3619C4: Vanguard V3619C4 Azo Drop Bear - Micarta

Kizer Cutlery

The Kizer Drop Bear features a slim and sleek design while showcasing an aggressive drop point profile with an intriguing reverse bevel near the tip of the blade. The 154CM blade is a workhorse and will perform extraordinarily well in-between sparse sharpening sessions. The handles consist of a rough Micarta with skeletonized stainless steel liners. The blade snaps open with ease thanks to the double thumb studs and bearings, ensuring that the blade is ready the moment you are. The real showstopper here is Kizer's Clutch Lock, which is a different take on the familiar crossbar or AXIS lock providing excellent power and ease of use.

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!

Best work knife I've carried in 30 years. Easy to sharpen and not too large to carry comfortably. You WILL need to get a torx set to occasionally tighten screws, but that is just maintenance.

So smooth, perfect micarta
I'm sure the adjustments to the spring can make for some great customization, but this thing is perfect out of the box. I have 4 crossbar locks now, with the inventor of it being the worst, and this one being right under Hogue which is the best. This dropbear is a little too quick and just doesn't feel as pristine, but it's probably the easiest opening one out of the 4. Again, maybe I should play with the spring a little. The blade is a great shape and makes for a steady slicer with it's height. But the micarta, I have a three Kizers in micarta, all three of them have better feeling micarta than any other brand I own. If there is a better one out there, I wish I knew because I'd buy it today. This is an easy recommendation for me if someone doesn't prefer a wilder knife.
