The Kizer Nightjar Fixed Blade packs impressive cutting capability into a compact, modern design that’s built for everyday performance. Small enough to carry easily yet tough enough to handle real work, it blends premium materials with thoughtful ergonomics to create a dependable fixed blade you’ll reach for again and again.
The knife features a 2.8-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from AUS-10 stainless steel. This high-performance steel is known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, making it a strong choice for a knife designed to see regular use. The blade wears a clean satin finish that highlights its crisp lines and refined grind while maintaining a professional, work-ready appearance. The sheepsfoot profile provides a straight cutting edge and a reinforced tip, giving you excellent control for precise slicing, detailed work, and everyday cutting tasks. An oversized thumb hole blade cutout adds visual character while also serving as a natural indexing point for enhanced control during use.
The handle is crafted from multi colored Vortex Pattern Micarta, a layered composite material prized for its durability and secure grip. The distinctive swirling pattern gives each handle a unique look, while the Micarta construction offers excellent strength and stability even under demanding conditions. Its lightly textured surface provides confident traction in the hand, whether the knife is being used for quick daily tasks or extended cutting work. Cutout hardware adds a modern touch while helping keep the knife lightweight and balanced.
At 5.74 inches overall and weighing just 2.8 ounces, the Nightjar remains compact, agile, and easy to carry. Its balanced proportions allow for excellent control, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate the reliability of a fixed blade without the bulk of a larger knife.
