Hmmm well i received the Kizer today and i must say i am pretty disappointed with it. The frame has scratch marks all over it like its been dragged along cement. The grinds on the back edge of the blade are uneven. Really flimsy feel all over. The only decent thing about this knife is the clip. Guess i shouldnt have expected too much for a chinese made knife, Will be sticking to USA made from now on. This will be up for sale asap. For a $170 knife, total rip off. A benchmade or an emerson would have been a lot better investment. Do yourself a favour and keep well clear of this piece of chinese
crap. Oh and whoever posted that "you could spend twice as much and not do as well" lol you must be joking ???

GTO461This is realy not true, I got mine today and after quick lubing the action is great and the looks are good, only thing I can say against kizer is that they are inconsistant and the anodization is a little suddle compared to the pics and for last it didn't come very sharp...
Final verdict: Kizer makes great knives yet there is a place for improvement in qc, and you can't accuse them for it because they are chinese since there are some USA companies that are almost completly without qc and I wont name names ( particular one is some brand with butterfly and a bench :P).

GTO461Maybe you are just too upset to think about it... Listen, if you have such a defect you should immediately contact their warranty service, apart from that all knife companies have bad pieces passing through QC somehow, even Spyderco has that on rare occasions and Benchmade does this regularly.
And similarly to what you said, unless you saw their full potential I don't think you can talk that way on Chinese companies, I am not an American and not a Chinese so I have zero patriotical feel to the origin of the knife, I judge by all the factors I see in my collection, and believe it or not Kizer does a good job, yes it has some issues sometimes but isn't this is why warranty exists?
Even though it was a bad impression of Kizer to you, you will not talk bad for it.
I hope I made you rethink your position, thank you, your one and only Magical Banana.
