The Kizer Ara Gold Flake & Black is a standout blend of modern materials, smooth operation, and refined everyday carry design. Built to perform and crafted to impress, this sleek manual folder is an excellent choice for anyone who values both function and form in their daily rotation. With a 3.09” drop point blade made from high-performance CPM S45VN stainless steel, it offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for a wide variety of cutting tasks. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, low-maintenance look that handles wear with style.
Opening is intuitive and fluid thanks to the large thumb hole, allowing for quick, one-handed deployment. Once open, the blade locks up securely with a reliable linerlock mechanism, keeping it rock-solid through hard use without adding unnecessary bulk. Whether you're opening packages, slicing cord, or handling daily utility work, the Ara responds with confidence and precision.
What sets this version apart is its head-turning handle. The black titanium frame is lightweight and strong, delivering excellent durability without sacrificing pocket comfort. Topping off the titanium frame are carbon fiber scales with embedded gold-colored flakes—a truly unique touch that gives the Ara a sophisticated, almost cosmic aesthetic. It’s bold without being flashy, and classy without being fragile.
At just 3.98” closed and 7.07” overall, the Kizer Ara carries discreetly and comfortably, while its 0.11” blade thickness strikes an ideal balance between slicing performance and structural strength. Weighing in light enough for everyday carry, it disappears into the pocket until it’s needed, and the tip-up pocket clip makes retrieval and stowage smooth and intuitive.
This is a knife built for real-world use but refined enough to impress enthusiasts with its design and materials. Whether you're a collector looking to add something visually distinct to your lineup or someone in need of a reliable tool with a touch of flair, the Ara Gold Flake & Black delivers.
