The Kizer Mini Bay Slip Joint Folding Knife delivers classic pocketknife simplicity in a compact, modern everyday carry design. Small enough to disappear in the pocket yet built with quality materials and thoughtful construction, this knife offers dependable cutting performance for the daily tasks that call for a precise, easy-to-carry tool.
The 1.89-inch sheepsfoot blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel and finished with a clean satin sheen that highlights its sharp grind and crisp lines. Developed for excellent corrosion resistance and edge stability, 14C28N has earned a strong reputation as a reliable blade steel for everyday carry knives. The sheepsfoot profile provides a long, straight cutting edge that excels at controlled slicing and utility work while reducing the risk of accidental punctures. It’s a blade shape well suited for precision tasks where control matters most.
This knife operates with a traditional slip joint mechanism, giving it smooth, straightforward operation without a locking system. The slip joint design offers dependable spring tension that keeps the blade securely in place during use while maintaining the simple, time-tested functionality many knife enthusiasts appreciate.
The handles are crafted from gray Vortex Micarta, a durable composite material known for its strength, moisture resistance, and comfortable grip. The swirling layered pattern creates a subtle visual texture that gives the knife a distinctive look while maintaining the toughness Micarta is known for. A black-coated deep carry stainless steel pocket clip allows the knife to ride low and discreet in the pocket, keeping it secure and easy to access throughout the day.
Measuring just 2.86 inches closed, the Mini Bay is compact enough for effortless pocket carry while still delivering the cutting performance needed for daily utility tasks.
