Common Questions About the Kizer Retro

The Kizer Retro series blends vintage aesthetics with a robust, full-sized build featuring a stout Nitro-V blade and multiple deployment methods. Designed by Johan Jordaan, these folders offer a substantial grip and modern performance in a classic silhouette.

How do you open the Kizer Retro?
The Kizer Retro series supports three distinct deployment methods: thumb studs, a front flipper, and a blade fuller designed for reverse flicking. The pivot utilizes ball bearings to ensure smooth and effortless action regardless of which opening method you choose.
What is the blade steel on the Kizer Retro?
Kizer uses Nitro-V stainless steel for the Retro series. This steel is chosen for its toughness and corrosion resistance, complementing the series' stout 3.54-inch drop point blade geometry.
Is the Kizer Retro a small pocket knife?
No, the Kizer Retro is a substantial folder that is larger and broader than it appears in photos. It features a 3.54-inch blade and a handle with a significant swell at the back, allowing for a very strong and secure grip.
What handle materials are available for the Retro series?
The Kizer Retro series is available with either black G10 or khaki linen Micarta handles. Both versions include brass collars and shields that contribute to the vintage, retro aesthetic of the design.
Is the pocket clip on the Kizer Retro reversible?
Yes, the Kizer Retro comes equipped with a deep-carry pocket clip that is reversible for both left and right-hand carry. This makes the series adaptable for different carry preferences while maintaining a low profile in the pocket.
Is the Kizer Retro worth it for daily carry?
Priced around $75, the Kizer Retro offers high value by combining a robust liner lock construction with ball-bearing action and Nitro-V steel. Its mix of modern deployment and traditional styling makes it a versatile choice for those who need a more capable, larger EDC tool.
