Kizer Microbe

Designed by Maksim Epifantsev, the Kizer Microbe takes inspiration from the microscopic world, pairing a rounded, characterful profile with practical everyday performance. Its compact 55.57mm drop-point blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, offering a useful balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness and straightforward sharpening. A satin finish, flat grind and extended spine jimping support accurate, controlled cutting for tasks such as opening packaging and detailed utility work. The contoured Norplex UltreX™ Micarta handle follows the hand’s natural shape, while the finger choil helps create a secure four-finger grip despite the knife’s compact dimensions. Opening is smooth through the thumb hole and ball-bearing pivot, and the Kizer Button Liner Lock™ features an oversized semi-circular button for comfortable operation and reliable lock-up. At 135.34mm overall and just 61.5g, the Microbe is a lightweight, distinctive addition to an everyday tool collection.
