SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kizer Kwaiken Fixed Blade Knife is a refined fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern performance. Designed by Johan Jordaan, this knife embodies the minimalist yet highly functional design of the classic Kwaiken blade, originally carried by samurai and their families for self-defense and utility. Its sleek, straight-edged profile makes it an excellent choice for precision cutting, tactical applications, or everyday carry.
The 3.94-inch Nitro-V stainless steel blade is built for durability and edge retention, offering a tough cutting edge with a corrosion-resistant black finish. Nitro-V steel enhances hardness and wear resistance, making it a reliable choice for demanding tasks. The full-tang construction adds strength and stability, ensuring the blade is well-balanced and highly responsive in hand.
The Kwaiken’s handle is crafted from black G-10, a high-strength composite known for its durability and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. The handle features striking yellow diamond-shaped patterns, blending traditional aesthetics with modern grip-enhancing ergonomics. Designed for a secure hold, it provides excellent control and comfort, even in extended use. A lanyard hole offers additional carry options, making it adaptable for a variety of carrying styles.
For secure storage and quick deployment, the Kwaiken includes a black Kydex sheath, molded for a precise fit. Whether carried as a discreet backup blade, a utility tool, or a tactical companion, this knife’s slim, lightweight profile—measuring 7.88 inches overall and weighing just 2.62 ounces—ensures it won’t weigh you down while remaining readily accessible.
