    Kiser has really been knockin' it outta the park, lately. Everything about this knife just works so well. Beautiful. Black mirror blade, with the subdued shine black titanium scales. And the fat carbon accentuates, rather than upstages, the 2 different black finishes.

  • @edcbl4de
    @edcbl4de 5 місяців тому +6

    Thanks MC. I ended up getting one of these after you announced it. It's the first knife that my wife actually likes the sound of me opening it multiple times. Plus, I always wanted a mirror finish, and it's as close as I will get without spending a ridiculous amount of money.

    I have never been a fan of coated blades because of the reasons you stated: lack of durability, the chalky texture, the added friction, etc. But this style of DLC is exception-worthy. I look forward to new offerings that should be coming out. Thanks for sharing this information!

    I have one of the older cold steel od green American lawmans with the xhp dlc blade. I carried and used that knife for about 4 years and there's almost no wear on the blade. They were way ahead of their time with that coating because it seems only now that companies are starting to catch on to it.

    I own so many Kizers and the best action belongs to the Kizer Clutch. Carlos Elstner design. Don't believe me, fine. This thing is phenomenal. If you have the opportunity to get your hands on one, do it. I know it's a bit boring looking and didnt make any waves, but I greatly prefer it to my Militaw or Veritas.

    Anybody know if anyone makes custom inlays for the Militaw? I missed the drop on this one, but I managed to snag the original Militaw instead. I tend to prefer the dark titanium look of the original, but the plain Micarta inlay is a little lackluster for me. I think it would look absolutely fantastic with a weave CF or Fat Carbon inlay, or anything besides plain Micarta. I did a google search ultie times with no luck. I still LOVE the aesthetics of it just the way it is, but a custom inlay would take it to the next level!

    My experience with Kizer hasn't been great. I just bought last year's sheepdog and was sent a 2nd quality knife. It was covered in greasy fingerprints, with a very squeaky and gritty action, inconsistent grind lines, and an over-tumbled and rusted blade. It looked like an old beater with new scales and came in an old beat-up knife box. They've been slow-rolling any action taken. At this point, I want my money back and to walk away because they don't seem to care unless you're an influencer. If you're gonna buy a Kizer don't buy direct.
