If this company doesn't make a knife or a whistle called the Kizer Söze, it will be such a missed opportunity...

If they do.
I bet sexual harassment files will be claimed.

Got the flame on first drop and blue on second.
Feedback for manufacturer:
The finish can be improved and made more consistent -- there are striations over the entire body of the blue one that really should be sanded / polished / tumbled / buffed out prior to the anodizing.
The flame version is better. You can see the difference on the drop pictures. Not sure why the blue one is worse. One thing is the blue reflects light more than the flame. But, for whatever reason, the blue is worse. Did not notice this before. Was expecting a finish like the flame.
Finish is a critical factor. The big four are form, function, fit, and finish. Finish is the last and is the most important from the perspective of aesthetics (and fit too). The scratches detract from the overall aesthetic of the piece.
It seems like the idea might of been that the finish was not important because the anodizing would cover it up. If that was the idea, it did not work. Staying with this line of thought, would not have bought these "naked" because of the scratches.
From a manufacturing perspective, there was probably a single pass in "knocking down" the whistle tube material; that is, no other passes to finish the whistle tubes after cut-down.
If Kizer presents to be high-end, everything ought to look like it. You might say the price point does not warrant extra manufacturing steps, but high-end branding demands it to be so.
In my experience, tumbling with ceramic or some other material is standard. This gets rid of the manufacturing scratches. The more you tumble, the smoother / better the finish.
Another thing is the inserts in the whistle tubes to facilitate the making of the whistle sound are not finished. In my case, it looks cracked. This is a nit, but it's observable. Again, high-end branding requires that high-quality permeate each and every output of the brand.
Bottom line: Would be less likely to buy Kizer blades based on my experience with these whistles.
In the spirit of feedback / food for thought!

SteverinoI believe the "scratches/striations" that you refer to are a deliberate finish choice by the manufacturer.
I personally like this finish.
Where the Flame version is covered with a sparkly material that has baked on,(you can even see the flecks of it inside the tube, if you use a flashlight), the Blue looks to have been deliberately "roughed up", gives it a distressed look, allows it to reflect light differently.
Might pick up the Violet one, just to see what they did with it.

I received my Kizer Siren 1 Titanium Whistle, and it was MUCH smaller than expected. From the photos, I thought it was about the diameter of a finger, and perhaps 5 inches long. Instead, it was thinner than a pencil, and about 2" long. TINY. I put it on my keychain. I was expecting a real tool for cracking open bottles at a party. Nope.

The insert is a half-circle of metal, not plastic. I can't say what type of metal the insert is for certain. It's shiny, but could be titanium. Also, a note on the exterior: the matte/flat finish seems to be taking on a bit of a shine as my other keys rub against it. I am waiting to see if it is just a natural part of the titanium becoming more polished, or if there was some sort of coating added to get it the color it is. I assumed it was natural titanium color, with striping added with a blowtorch. We'll see how permanent all that is. I'm liking it, but probably would have passed on it if it was just sitting in a store with a $15 price tag.

MassDrop.
You did it again.
No info.
Don't care if users posted info or pictures.
That's not our job.
Our job is to spend money.
Thanks.
Have a great weekend.

Received mine today as a "just because you're a cool chick" gift for my wife. I purchased the flame version.
Let me just say: These little guys are dope as hell. The finish on the flame variant is stunning, and you better believe this little sonofabitch is loud as shit. She likes gifts that are the more atypical variety, so this was a hit. Only regret not buying a second one for when she inevitably loses this one!

Rocky_RhodesHaha, I like that angle! I actually did end up picking up one in the other color on the re-drop. I gifted that one to her as well, solely based on the likelihood that I would misplace the thing almost immediately lol.

I purchased 4 of these for my grandkids. Now I just have to teach them to carry them at all times. The world's not getting any safer and anything I can do to protect them is aces in my book. 110 decibels should do the trick. Thanks Massdrop for making this available.

Zhao It is also odd to put it in the ultralight category but not list a weight.
