SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kizer Buddy Black & White is a striking blend of modern design and everyday functionality, built to be as reliable as it is eye-catching. Compact and lightweight, this fixed blade knife is ready for anything from daily carry to weekend adventures, offering impressive performance in a sleek and stylish package. Designed by Maksim Epifantsev, the Buddy is a knife that stands out with confidence and capability.
Its 3-inch drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a premium steel choice known for its high toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Whether you're slicing rope, opening boxes, or handling outdoor chores, this blade holds its own with sharp precision and lasting durability. The plain edge offers clean, versatile cutting power, while the black finish adds a layer of protection and a stealthy, professional aesthetic.
The Buddy’s compact 6.24-inch overall length makes it a practical choice for everyday use, and its slim profile ensures it won’t weigh you down. At just 2.71 ounces, it’s incredibly lightweight without compromising on strength, thanks to its full tang construction. This design keeps the blade and handle as one solid piece, enhancing both durability and control.
What truly sets this version apart is its bold black and white G-10 handle, featuring a dynamic circular pattern that’s both visually appealing and highly functional. G-10 is known for its excellent grip and rugged durability, making it ideal for all-weather use. The unique pattern gives the knife a touch of modern flair, while the ergonomic shaping ensures a comfortable and secure hold in any condition.
A black braided lanyard comes attached to the lanyard hole at the base of the handle, adding a practical detail for quick access, personalization, or easy retrieval. Whether clipped to your pack or stashed in your gear, the Buddy is ready when you need it—and stays out of the way when you don’t.
This knife is as much a statement piece as it is a dependable tool. The thoughtful design, premium materials, and refined details come together to create a fixed blade that punches well above its weight class. It’s compact, it’s stylish, and it’s built for the long haul.
