Kizer Genie

The Genie front flipper from in-house designer Gage at Kizer Cutlery has a similar look to the Raja from Sebastian Irawan with its reverse tanto blade and ergonomic handle shape. The main difference is that this guy is about an inch shorter overall making it much more EDC friendly. To open the blade, follow your thumb along the extended spine, and in a smooth, fluid motion follow the curvature of the handle to rotate the blade out. Once proficient, the detent and ball bearing pivot allow for deliberate flicking of this blade as fast as any other. It also has a thumb slot for more traditional opening that won’t impede cutting performance in any way. The Bladesmith Series is Kizer’s collaboration/partnerships with the custom knife world.
