Kizer Banish Folding Knife 2.3 Inch Plain Black Sheepsfoot V2676C1

The Kizer Banish is a compact powerhouse built for those who want maximum utility in the smallest, sleekest package possible. Designed with refined ergonomics and premium materials, it’s a folding knife that disappears in your pocket but stands out in performance. Whether you're navigating urban carry or need a dependable everyday tool with attitude, the Banish is ready to deliver.

At the core of the Kizer Banish is a 2.3-inch sheepsfoot blade made from 154CM stainless steel, a steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Finished in a smooth black coating, the blade adds a tactical look while reducing glare and enhancing durability. The sheepsfoot shape gives you a straight cutting edge and a rounded tip for precision work, making it perfect for slicing, trimming, and general utility tasks that require control and safety.

This knife opens smoothly and confidently thanks to two intuitive options: a blade flipper and a generously sized thumb hole. Whichever method you prefer, the action is quick and satisfying—especially when paired with the reliable button lock mechanism. The button lock not only makes deployment and closure effortless, but it also provides a secure and consistent lockup every time, giving you both confidence and convenience in one clean system.

The handle features black linen Micarta, which brings excellent grip, comfort, and a touch of rugged elegance to the build. Micarta has long been a favorite among knife users for its warm, organic texture and performance in all kinds of conditions. Even when wet, the handle stays grippy and secure, while the smooth contours ensure it rests naturally in your hand.

Despite its small size, the Banish is packed with thoughtful details. At 3.09 inches closed and just 5.39 inches overall, it’s incredibly easy to carry, yet it feels solid and capable in use. Weighing only 2.24 ounces, it won’t weigh you down—whether it’s clipped to your pocket or riding in a pack. The .09-inch blade thickness offers nimble cutting performance without sacrificing strength, ideal for tasks where finesse matters.

The deep-carry pocket clip is reversible and positioned for tip-up carry, ensuring comfort and accessibility for both right- and left-handed users. It keeps the Banish discreetly tucked away and ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. The knife also comes boxed with a Kizer sticker and a cleaning cloth—small touches that reflect the brand’s attention to detail and commitment to user experience.

Available now at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the Kizer Banish is a perfect addition to any everyday rotation. It’s a fine example of what happens when intelligent design meets quality construction, brought to you by the best online knife store. Small in size but big on performance, the Banish is proof that great things come in compact packages.
