The Kizer Madrac Folder, Model V3693BSA1, is built for those who want dependable performance wrapped in a rugged, work-ready package that doesn’t cut corners on materials or design. Created by Matteo Pignatelli, this version of the Madrac leans into durability and grip, delivering a knife that feels right at home in hard-use environments while still maintaining the refined fit and finish Kizer is known for.
The 3.05" sheepsfoot blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a proven performer that offers a strong balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge stability. It’s a steel that’s easy to maintain in the field while still holding up to repeated cutting tasks without chipping or rolling easily. The blade is finished with a black PVD coating, giving it a low-profile, non-reflective look while adding an extra layer of protection against wear and corrosion. Paired with a flat grind, the blade delivers efficient slicing performance with solid control, making it a reliable choice for everyday tasks and jobsite use alike.
Deployment is handled through thumb studs, providing smooth, controlled opening that’s easy to manage in any condition. The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ offers a secure lockup with the added convenience of button disengagement, allowing for quick and safe operation without compromising strength. It’s a system designed for real-world use, where reliability matters more than flash.
The handle measures 4.42" and is constructed from Norplex UltreX™ Micarta, a premium material known for its durability and excellent grip characteristics. The brown micarta offers a natural, textured feel that improves as it breaks in, developing character over time while maintaining traction in wet or dry conditions. It’s a handle that feels solid and dependable, built to handle extended use without becoming uncomfortable or slick.
A deep carry reversible pocket clip ensures secure, low-profile carry, making it easy to keep the Madrac close without drawing attention. At 3.42 ounces, the knife strikes a solid balance between lightweight carry and substantial in-hand feel, giving you confidence without unnecessary bulk.
With a hardness rating of 58–59 HRC, the blade is tuned for toughness and ease of maintenance, making it a practical choice for users who need a knife they can rely on day in and day out. Every element of this Madrac is designed with function in mind, delivering a tool that’s as capable as it is straightforward.
