The Kizer Harpoon Fold steps into a more refined, all-metal configuration that leans into durability, precision, and modern style without losing its hard-use roots. This version pairs premium steel with a clean titanium build, creating a knife that feels equally at home in demanding daily work or a carefully curated EDC lineup.
Its 3.4-inch Ultra Drop Point blade is crafted from Elmax stainless steel, prized for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The stonewashed and flat brushed DLC coating adds depth and contrast while reducing glare and helping hide wear from repeated use. This blade shape offers excellent point control with a strong tip and a long, efficient cutting edge, making it dependable for slicing, detail work, and everyday cutting tasks where precision matters.
Manual deployment comes via a thumb stud and front flipper, delivering smooth, deliberate action with a satisfying feel. The framelock engages solidly and consistently, giving confidence when the blade is under load. It’s a straightforward locking system that complements the knife’s clean, purposeful design without unnecessary complexity.
The handle construction goes full titanium, giving the Harpoon Fold a sleek, cohesive look and a rigid, durable frame. Smooth titanium scales provide strength without excessive weight, while offering a comfortable, neutral grip that adapts well to a wide range of hand sizes. The minimalist handle profile emphasizes balance and control, letting the blade do the talking. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and easy to access for daily carry.
At 4.66 inches closed and weighing 3.98 ounces, this Harpoon Fold carries comfortably while still feeling substantial in hand. The design reflects the collaboration between Kizer and Maverick Customs, blending custom-inspired aesthetics with reliable, production-built performance meant for real-world use.
