SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kizer Drop Bear Utility Knife in brown, designed by Azo, is a compact powerhouse built for daily tasks and built to last. With a refined balance of form and function, this folding utility knife is ready for real work, whether you're on a job site, in the workshop, or simply opening packages at home. At the heart of its performance is a 2.74” trapezoidal blade crafted from SK5 tool steel—tough, reliable, and made to take on demanding cuts without losing its edge. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional look while adding extra durability for long-term use.
Deploying the blade is quick and easy thanks to the well-placed thumb stud, allowing for smooth, one-handed opening whenever you need it. Once deployed, the blade locks firmly into place with Kizer’s innovative clutch lock mechanism. This system offers secure lockup you can trust while delivering an ultra-satisfying, fluid action. It’s a lock that feels as solid as it is smart, making the Drop Bear a joy to use time and time again.
Where this version of the Drop Bear really stands out is its handle—crafted from warm brown Micarta, it offers a blend of texture, durability, and comfort that few materials can match. Micarta is known for its rugged reliability, resisting moisture and wear while providing a naturally grippy surface that improves with age and use. The brown tone adds a classic, earthy character to the knife, making it a timeless addition to your everyday carry or tool lineup.
With a closed length of 3.95” and an overall length of 6.69”, the Drop Bear is compact enough to carry with ease but built to deliver when it counts. The .11” blade thickness adds just the right amount of heft for cutting power, without sacrificing the slim profile that makes this knife so convenient to carry. It fits comfortably in your pocket, bag, or gear kit, always ready to step in when the task demands precision and toughness.
Additional thoughtful touches include a reversible pocket clip for left- or right-handed carry, giving you full control over how you wear it. The integrated lanyard hole offers even more versatility, whether you want to attach a paracord fob, clip it to your gear, or keep it easily accessible on the job. Every detail is designed with functionality in mind—just the way Azo intended it.
