Kizer Buddy Fixed Blade Knife 3 Inch Plain Satin Drop Point

The Kizer Buddy Black Micarta is a refined, compact fixed blade designed for those who appreciate clean lines, dependable materials, and understated style. Created by knife designer Maksim Epifantsev, this sleek tool blends form and function with a simplicity that works in just about any setting—whether you're tackling daily tasks or heading into the great outdoors.

At the core of this knife is a 3-inch drop point blade made from 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its exceptional sharpness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. It’s a solid choice for anyone who needs a blade that holds its edge and performs reliably without fuss. The satin finish highlights the clean, elegant shape of the blade while adding a layer of subtle sophistication. With a plain edge and .11-inch thickness, it offers a balance of slicing ability and structural strength, making it ready for both fine detail work and tougher cutting chores.

The Buddy Black Micarta is built with a full tang construction, which means the blade steel runs the entire length of the handle—adding strength, balance, and durability. This type of build gives you greater control and long-term confidence in your tool, whether you're carving, slicing, or handling quick everyday tasks.

Its black Micarta handle brings a timeless, utilitarian charm to the design. Micarta is a tough, reliable material that’s been trusted by knife makers for generations. It offers a naturally grippy texture that improves with use, molding slightly to the user’s hand over time while maintaining a firm, comfortable hold. The neutral black tone keeps things classic and low-profile, making this knife a great fit in any gear lineup.

Measuring 6.24 inches overall and weighing just 2.5 ounces, the Buddy Black Micarta is easy to carry and never in the way. It’s compact enough to disappear into your setup, yet always ready when you need it. The integrated lanyard hole allows for carry customization, giving you flexibility in how you keep it close at hand. Whether you're adding a clip, threading paracord, or attaching it to your pack, this knife adapts to your preferences with ease.
