Overview
The intricate engraving on the handle of this Sovereign Tang flipper is inspired by the "Living Meadow" motif of the Tang Dynasty, lending an artistic flavor to the overall tactical design. It features a 3.56" CPM-S35VN blade with a drop point shape, fuller, and finger choil. The action is quick, snappy and authoritative, as with all Kizer knives. There is a large lanyard slot that will easily house 550 paracord. The CNC laser carved titanium handle has an extremely ergonomic shape to it and a nice thumb ramp on the blade. It has among the smoothest actions of any knife in the building and the drop point S35VN blade is as beautiful as it is practical. An excellent design and superb quality folder from Kizer.
Kizer uses high-tech wire EDM machines to cut the parts. This method is slower than laser or water jet but Kizer feels quality is worth the wait. Each component in Kizer knives is precision machined and engineered to the finest tolerances. The final fit, finish, action, and sharpness of each knife is achieved entirely by hand, employing the irreplaceable craftsmanship developed by generations of cutlery masters. Dedicated craftsman honoring the long-term goal of making the best knives possible is what Kizer brings to you.
