The Kizer Buddy Clear Acrylic brings a fresh, eye-catching twist to a hardworking fixed blade. Designed by Maksim Epifantsev, this compact and capable knife balances artistic detail with everyday function, delivering a piece that’s as visually striking as it is ready for use. With clean lines, quality materials, and a thoughtful design, the Buddy Clear Acrylic is perfect for those who appreciate both performance and personality in their gear.
At the center of this sleek fixed blade is a 3-inch drop point blade made from AEB-L stainless steel—a steel known for its fine grain structure, excellent toughness, and superb edge stability. The satin finish highlights the smooth blade profile, giving it a clean, classic look that’s always in style. With its plain edge, the Buddy is built for control and precision, handling slicing and utility tasks with ease. The .11-inch blade thickness strikes a great balance between nimble cuts and dependable durability.
The full tang construction gives this knife the strength and stability you expect from a serious tool. But where the Buddy Clear Acrylic truly stands apart is in its handle—crafted from completely transparent acrylic that allows you to see the paw print cutout in the tang beneath. It’s a subtle yet captivating detail that adds depth and charm to the design, creating a one-of-a-kind look you won’t find anywhere else. The handle is shaped for a comfortable grip, and the clear material adds a unique, modern aesthetic without sacrificing function.
Measuring just 6.24 inches overall and weighing only 2.45 ounces, this knife is incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. Despite its minimal profile, it doesn’t compromise on capability. Whether it’s part of your daily routine or tucked into a pack for your next outdoor venture, the Buddy Clear Acrylic is always ready for action.
A black braided lanyard threads through the integrated lanyard hole, adding a touch of rugged style and a little extra functionality. Whether you’re hanging it from your gear, securing it for quick access, or just appreciating the detail, the lanyard complements the overall look and feel of the knife beautifully.
