The Kizer Nightjar Fixed Blade delivers compact performance with modern materials and a clean, functional design that’s ready for everyday work. Built for control and durability, it’s a small fixed blade that carries easily while still providing the strength and reliability you expect from a full tang cutting tool.
At its core is a 2.8-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from AUS-10 stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, AUS-10 is well suited for a knife that’s meant to see regular use. The blade features a rugged stonewashed finish that helps conceal scratches and wear while giving the knife a working, no-nonsense appearance. The sheepsfoot blade shape offers a straight cutting edge and reinforced tip, making it ideal for controlled slicing, utility tasks, and detailed work. An oversized thumb hole blade cutout adds visual character while also serving as a natural indexing point that improves grip awareness during use.
The handle is constructed from gray aluminum, offering a lightweight yet durable frame that holds up well to demanding conditions. The aluminum provides a solid, confident feel in the hand while keeping overall weight low for comfortable carry throughout the day. Cutout hardware adds a distinctive modern touch while helping maintain the knife’s streamlined profile.
Measuring 5.74 inches overall and weighing just 2.8 ounces, the Nightjar is compact enough for easy carry yet capable enough to handle a wide range of everyday cutting tasks. Its balanced proportions and ergonomic design make it quick, agile, and dependable when precision matters most.
