Kizer Hornet Fixed Blade Blade Knife Black PVD Stonewashed/Yellow Ultem PEI

The Kizer Hornet keeps its compact, hard-working design while gaining a bold material update that enhances both durability and visual appeal. This lightweight fixed blade is built for dependable everyday utility, pairing modern styling with practical performance in a streamlined package. At 6.4" overall and weighing just 3.6 ounces, it’s easy to carry without sacrificing strength.

Its 2.52" sheepsfoot blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a proven performer known for solid edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The black PVD coating delivers added surface protection and a low-profile finish, while the stonewash treatment helps disguise wear from regular use. Together, these finishes create a blade that’s ready for real-world demands and built to hold up over time.

The sheepsfoot profile offers a strong, straight cutting edge with a reinforced tip, giving you controlled slicing power and excellent precision for utility tasks. Whether you’re opening packages, trimming materials, or handling detail work, the Hornet’s blade shape keeps cuts predictable and efficient.

A skeletonized tang runs beneath the handle, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity. The semi-translucent yellow Ultem handles allow you to see the internal skeletonization, showcasing the engineering beneath the surface. Ultem is known for its strength, heat resistance, and long-term durability, making it a smart choice for a lightweight fixed blade. The warm yellow tone creates a striking contrast against the dark blade, giving this version a standout, modern appearance without compromising function.
