NKD - Kizer Shot

NKD - Kizer Shot

What a fun gentleman’s knife. Aluminum scales. 154CM steel. Sub 3” blade. And surprisingly fidgety action with the thumbstud. Front flipper option as well. I wish the scales had a little more grip to them but that’s just personal preference as I explore the knife world. Great office option for something slim and a little larger than going compact.

Today’s carry - Kizer nice guy

Got my Kizer nice guy a couple of weeks ago. On sale on Amazon’s for sub $30. I’m kind of surprised this knife doesn’t get mentioned more. Smooth flipper action. Sharp D2 drop point blade. Grippy handle without feeling like sandpaper. Just a fun, affordable, well made knife. It’s the all around middle of the road not flashy but does everything well knife. Also, shout out to my new DCC watch face wallpaper.

Olitans and Ganzo thoughts?

What are your thoughts on these 2 brands. My collection is building out with Kizer, Civivi, CRKT, CJRB, QSP, Remette, and Sencut. I know nothing of these 2 brand though and I’m curious what everyone’s experience is.

NKD - Vosteed Racoon

Been waiting a few days for this beauty to come in. This is one heck of a budget knife. Honestly, idk why anyone would pay more for a knife when they can get something like this. Depending on your vibe, it may be a touch large for EDC pocket carry, but it’s awesome. If this is in your wish list, don’t hesitate. Now I just need the porcupine to go on sale. I foresee the two being extremely complimentary of each other.

NKD - Kizer Parakeet

Went on a shopping spree the past two weeks so there will be a few more of these posts as the knives get delivered. This came in yesterday afternoon and this knife is awesome. Button lock, great smooth snappy action, nitro v steel, micarta scales. I said it in my CRKT squid compact post that I’m a sucker for awesome compact edc folders and this ticks every box for me. Can’t recommend it enough. Was sub $50 when I bought it, looks like it ticked above in the last 48 hours.

Today’s carry: CRKT Squid Compact

It’s good not great. Love the size. I’m a sucker for a good compact folder. All the materials are great. But this isn’t a good pocket carry in my opinion. The knife isn’t balance enough for the thumb stud and axis point to work together. It acts more like a slip joint in that opening feels like a two handed job instead of one. No snappiness to it. With all that said, keeping this in a pouch would be perfect. This feels like a great compact beater knife, easy to clean.

Today’s carry: Remette Canyon

Sometimes you need a sleek gentlemen’s knife. Great size. Great feel. Flipper is a bit sticky, takes a decent amount of force to open up. Also, Amazon’s photos make the ring look yellow instead of orange on this particular model. It’s orange. Gross ass orange. Still a great knife. A little beefier than the CRKT CEO, but the CEO action is a bit better.
