Kizer Riverbank Folding Pocket Knife, 2.99 In Nitro-V Steel Blade Micarta Handle Small EDC Knife with Clip Utility Knife for Men Women Everyday Carry Sharp Camping Survival V3717M3

Absolute delight of an EDC. Lightweight in the pocket with a super fidgety action. Nitro-V feels perfectly suitable for such a knife and has fared well in use so far. Flipper detent is great in both directions, and there’s no play in the lock. Perfect size, just inside of not too long and sits very slim in the pocket. Medium duty, not cut out for prying but confidence-inspiring in other axes. The wide scale chamfers feel great and make for an especially nice look with the brown micarta. I purchased on sale and feel I received an excellent value.

My first Kizer, i am impressed. First off the micarta version is incredibly light for a 3 inch knife at 2.4 oz. I have lighter knives but they aren't nearly as ergonomic and feel compromised in some way. This knife is AGGRESSIVELY skeletonized with about half the material removed from the steel liners. they could have just drilled some holes like most budget knives but they chose to do it right. There are many small details on this knife that show design experience beyond coming sharp. the scales are well contoured and shaped to help your thumb find the lock and a subtle downward angle that helps the blade "find" the work. A small swedge has been added to aid in piercing tasks and some gimping to help your thumb find purchase when choking up. The detent and flipper are well done making it both secure and easy to open. this all combines to make a knife that disappears in your pocket but uses like a regular edc. being very nitpicky it could have a bit better gimping on the blade and some added to the liner lock.

Wanted a good everyday pocket knife before I retire. I am 62 years old and have been carrying a pocket knife since I was about10. I will not spend a lot of money for a name. It surpassed my expeditions . It is light weight, the grip fits my hand good, perfect size, the blade is very solid in the open position, the blade is very sharp-too early to see how it holds an edge. I feel this a very good knife for the money.

I gave it 4 stars because the blade centering was off, and when fully open, looking down at the spine you can clearly see the blade favoring the clip side. That being said, action is great, hair-shaving sharp, it’s extremely lightweight and the 70’s looking butterscotch micarta even mesmerizes non-knife people. The face of the micarta is slick, more like resin than fabric. On the chamfers you can feel the texture of the fabric. This will stay in the collection simply because of the beautiful micarta. I’ve got it bad for this distressed vintage look and not many manufacturers offer this particular vibe. 👍

For me it came almost razor shard which is pretty cool. I use my knives on a lot of cardboard and mule tape and normal tape etc and it’s held up great and even after not really ever sharpening it, it’s still have a pretty decent edge.

Simple, good looking knife with excellent opening and locking action. Lock feels very secure. Feels great in the hand, micarta providing an excellent grip. Weight feels pretty balanced. The Nitro V blade is extremely sharp and straightforward to hone. Size is perfect for everyday use and legal carry in my jurisdiction. Materials and design are a combination of contemporary design features when you look up close and a classic aesthetic when you see it at a glance. It "looks like a pocketknife" rather than some sad "tacticool" paramilitary macho guy cliche that might "scare the h*s" as the kids say.

Out of the box, first thing i noticed was how light it was. The scales are thin, the overall size is just about perfect. Got it on sale and I'm happy with the sale price to value. Flipper deploys the blade well, easy to use but its the only method. Blade was sharp, shaves hair. Overall look was good, action was smooth. I like it a lot but I'd love it if the blade was 154CM instead of the Nitro-v.

Fantastic knife. Smooth action, great blade shape, and carries well.
