Kizer Militaw EDC Pocket Knife, 3.36'' 154CM Blade Folding Knife, G10 & Mkuruti Handle with Pocket Clip, Thumb Hole & Front Flipper Opener, Camping Hunting Knife for Men Women Gift V3634C2

This knife started a collection of four Militaws. The action is super smooth, the build quality is on point, blade is made from good steel, and the wooden inlays sit perfectly flush with the G10. This was my first front flipper, it took a little getting used to, but once I got the hang of it it's super fun to fidget with. The triangle cutout makes it extremely easy to flick open and give multiple deployment options. Since getting this is got two grey micarta/titanium ones and a mini with the gold titanium/zirconium inlays. They have some of the smoothest action out of all my knives. It literally drops shut super smooth. If you don't want to spend the money on the titanium versions, you still can't go wrong with the liner lock versions. It's become on of my favorite knives in my collection. Kizer does a great job, I have several of their knives and they're all great.

I mean it's a kizer made from an amazing designer. Instantly one of my favorite Kizers and favorite knives overall. Very elegant version.

I like the looks and feel of the knife. It seems solid and well built, and balanced. But it’s really made to open with two hands. That video shows someone opening with a swing of their thumb, well I don’t believe it. You can open it with hole in the blade, but it’s awkward and slow. Nothing like a spiderco, that’s easy to flip open. You can’t sling it open either, like you can with a Benchmade. They need to ask Emerson to let them put that sling opener on there blades. This really is just a common manual opening knife. I want to update my review. It can be opened one handed. I just went about it wrong. It doesn’t flip open like other flippers, you have to hold it different. Rotate it so you can barely open it with your thumb, then flip it open with your wrist, it actually works great that way, so I am now going to change my rating to a 5 star. I really enjoy opening the way they designed it now. I have to change what I said about this knife . After playing with knife I found 2 different ways to open this knife one handed. I apologize to kizer. If you are considering buying this knife, get the 154 cm steel. I looked at some charts on steel and nitro v doesn’t have very good edge retention. But 154cm steel will keep a edge longer with a toothy edge, 350 to 550 grit and you need to use a diamond or cbn stone. You can’t get a toothy edge using a whetstone, because a whetstone will give you a slick finish not toothy finish with bite.

My favorite knife can't complain about it

This is just a first impression. I have a LOT of knives... Some $400, some $50... I usually stay away from front flippers because they usually don't work well for me. I have 2 other kizer knives in 154cm, and those 2 knives are my favorites outside of the powdered steel metallurgy knives I own, and might still be my favorites because they are easier to sharpen. I bought this knife only because it had a thumb hole for deployment, thinking that would be pretty functional for me, which it is, but, I actually find the front flipper incredibly easy to use on this knife. I've had other front flippers I could work well enough, but I've never had a front flipper that I actually prefer the front flipper over another way of deployment. Tge front flipper works amazingly well, and I actually have to try really hard to get it to fail to deploy all the way. It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with a knife

I love how easy it is to open and close. The wood finish is really nice and feels good in my hand. Great weight distribution as well. I love it!

If you have any doubts, put them aside, this is a great knife, and if you like it, buy it, IT'S WORTH IT!!! If you know anything about Kizer then you will know the amazing quality that you get. This knife does not disappoint. The blade shape, materials, finish, and overall design are phenomenal. This knife would be a 5/5 if it wasn't for 1 small issue, the blade hole, whilst aesthetically pleasing, does not work. Now it doesn't work because I have an xxl size hand. If you have large or smaller hands, this would not be an issue at all. Otherwise great heat treat on 154CM, great G10, and wood inlay.

Action is silky smooth, blade is razor sharp, fit and finish is great. If you need an EDC for a good price, 100% this is one to consider. I love Kizer's designs, however this knife knocks it out on all ends.
