Quickly became a preferred carry
Absolutely love this knife. It’s comfortable in the hand, super sharp, sturdy, and the lock tension is customizable. Micarta is grippy and the whole knife feels solid. 154CM is always a plus, too. I have tons of other knives to carry, but I keep reaching for this one. At the price I don’t feel like I need to hold back on beating on it, either. Huge value of a knife.

One of my favorite knives in my 550 + knife collection
I love the Kizer Drop Bear and this is my third one I've purchased. I like it better than the aluminum handled one because its less heavy and has micarta scales. I prefer it many times over the cheapest version with the purple plastic scales, which feels cheap. THIS IS MY PERFECT KNIFE! The clutch lock is effortless, the micarta scales feel great to hold, the blade is ultra sharp and flips out effortlessly and closes almost without effort with the clutch lock. I recommend buying this knife that doesn't have any flaws. I only wish this knife came out with the same scales with magnacut, S35V or S90VN steel.

Awesome EDC from Kizer
This has become my new EDC. I have a couple Real Steel Huginns, but always get some looks when I open it up to use. This Drop Bear is a less dangerous looking option and just skirts under the 3" line so no potential for issues with the law. Great crossbar action, easily flicks open and drops shut. Blade was perfectly centered, nicely ground and very sharp. Did a little box cutting moving a kid into college dorm, and knife performed great and still sliced paper after. Will be getting one or two more for sure.
