Kizer C01C Mini

The Kizer C01C Mini folding knife is a collaboration between Kizer and Sheepdog Knives custom knifemaker Chris Conaway. This production version of his custom design combines a compact format with precision manufacturing and quality materials. The 2.63-inch sheepsfoot blade is made from CPM-20CV stainless steel and has a wide, cleaver-style profile suited to a range of everyday utility tasks. A bearing pivot system supports smooth blade opening. The contoured Toxic Storm FatCarbon handle follows the shape of the hand, while milled lines provide additional texture and visual detail. FatCarbon combines patterned carbon fibre with metal-infused resins to create a distinctive finish. Kizer uses wire EDM equipment to shape components, followed by precision machining and engineering to close tolerances. Final fit, finish and edge preparation are completed by hand. The Bladesmith Series brings together designs from custom knifemakers and Kizer's manufacturing expertise, with each product bearing the names of both the designer and Kizer Cutlery.
