The Kizer Dodo Deep Purple is a striking folding karambit that blends style, performance, and practicality into one sleek package. Designed for those who appreciate a knife that’s as functional as it is visually unique, this model stands out with its bold deep purple polycarbonate handle and premium construction. At the heart of the Dodo Deep Purple is a plain edge 2.19” karambit blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel, a high-performance steel prized for its excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The black stonewash finish not only gives the blade a rugged, stealthy look but also helps mask scratches and wear, ensuring it maintains its appeal after plenty of use. The karambit profile provides excellent control and excels at slicing, making this knife as effective as it is eye-catching.
Deployment is smooth and intuitive thanks to the dual-opening system. You can use the blade flipper for fast, one-handed opening or take advantage of the thumb hole for a more controlled deployment. The action is crisp and satisfying, and the linerlock holds the blade firmly in place, giving you confidence during use. When the job is done, the lock is easy to disengage, making closing the knife quick and safe.
The deep purple polycarbonate handle is lightweight, durable, and visually stunning. Its ergonomic shaping allows it to fit naturally in the hand, giving you a secure grip whether you’re working in standard or reverse holds. The finger ring at the base of the handle is a signature element of this design, ensuring secure retention and allowing for multiple grip options and fluid transitions. It’s a feature that not only enhances control but also adds to the knife’s distinctive character.
At 4.43” closed and 6.61” overall, the Dodo Deep Purple is compact enough for comfortable daily carry while still providing a blade that’s ready for real work. It weighs 3 ounces, giving it just enough heft to feel solid without being cumbersome. The lanyard hole offers a simple way to attach a paracord pull or personalize the knife with your own touch, making it even easier to retrieve when you need it.
This knife is more than just a functional tool — it’s a statement piece. Whether you’re a collector, an enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys carrying a well-made and distinctive folding knife, the Kizer Dodo Deep Purple offers the perfect combination of utility and style. Its premium materials, smooth action, and eye-catching handle make it a knife you’ll enjoy using and showing off.
