Product Description
Effortlessly combining aspects of a gentleman’s knife with those of a tactical folder, the Flashbang Vanguard makes an impression—just like the disorienting tool it’s named after. It’s got a blade made from VG-10, a high-carbon-content steel manufactured in Japan, plus a G-10 handle to give you a secure hold Read More
I just don't buy in that this is a real Kizer, no ugly kizer pivot. Kidding aside, 3.1 inches what are knife makers thinking? 0.1 over legal here 😒. I have a few kizers, all solid knives.
I can't say enough about this little knife. I usually carry larger knives but jumped on this deal the last time it was available. The detent is PERFECT ! The knife flips with authority, is sharp, light weight, and perfect for EDC.
In the poll... I advize to vote for the mjolnir and the sheepdog.. the two best reviewed and awsome looking new kizer knives! The mjolnir has m390!! And aparently veeery good action..
Lets get it done
I went on a Kizer youtube binge a couple days ago and picked up a cousin to this one: Cucchiara dukes flipper/liner-lock, same designer as this one I believe. I would definitely jump on this if I weren't already waiting on that one. Kizer (and this designer "Cucchiara" if I have my info correct) seem to have a better aesthetic than a lot of other knife makers. I'm just barely getting into knives, but I know what I like, and spyderco/benchmade handles look like shit on most models I've seen, but of course their steel is great so why care. I know knife "pros" probably think the more crappy a knife looks the better it is, because they have 42 knives in their collection so it's obvious they don't have any clue what they want or they'd only have 5 or so. /jk!
wontonotnowI'm here to see what people have to say about this drop. I'm replying to wontonotnow because I got the Kizer Dukes in G10 and it is my EDC. The handle has a nice texture, the blade is sharp, with a perfect length and shape for me. It's also lightweight and the flipping action is great. My other Kizer is the titanium Gemini by Ray Laconico. I highly recommend either of these knives. wontonotnow, I hope you enjoy your Dukes.
These Kizers are really nice looking, and priced well on Massdrop...
can anyone comment on quality. I know not necessarily on par with Reate and WE -- but so much better / more practical looking.
DDroI don’t have one, but YouTube reviews state and show really nice flipper action on the Kizers, quality centering and stuff. At the same price, these Kizers may (by model) be about on par for quality with WE.
I haven’t fallen in love with the looks of a WE yet either, looking for something thin like the Boker Urban Trapper. I don’t “get” the value of a deeper knife, almost always reach for a pairing knife instead of a chef’s knife in the kitchen, and a Swiss Army knife on the go, but I want that one-handed opening and closing, and fun flipper fidgeting. :)
