The Kizer Parakeet Folding Knife, Model V2706A7, delivers compact everyday carry performance with a bold blend of utility-driven design and modern materials. Designed by Johan Jordaan, this Parakeet keeps things small, efficient, and highly functional while adding a glow-in-the-dark handle and a blackout blade finish for a distinctive, purpose-built EDC package.
At the core is a 2.46" sheepsfoot blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel, a proven performer known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and consistent edge retention. It’s a steel that’s well-suited for daily cutting tasks, offering dependable performance without requiring constant maintenance. The blade is finished in a black PVD coating, giving it a low-reflective, stealth-forward appearance while adding an extra layer of surface protection against wear and corrosion. A flat grind enhances slicing efficiency and control, allowing the blade to perform cleanly across a wide range of everyday cutting tasks.
Deployment is handled via thumb studs, offering smooth, controlled opening that feels natural and reliable even on a compact frame. The action is designed for easy one-handed use, making the Parakeet quick to access and simple to operate. Once open, the Kizer Button Liner Lock™ engages securely, combining the strength of a liner lock with the convenience of button disengagement for safe, intuitive handling.
The 3.41" handle is constructed from glow-in-the-dark G-10 in a clean white finish, giving the Parakeet a practical advantage when visibility drops. During the day, it provides a durable, textured surface that offers a secure grip and resists wear. In low-light conditions, the glow-in-the-dark properties make it easy to locate quickly, whether it’s in a pocket, bag, or on a workstation. Despite its compact size, the handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort and control, making it easy to handle during repeated use.
A deep carry reversible pocket clip ensures discreet and flexible carry options, keeping the knife secure while allowing for multiple carry preferences. At just 5.87" overall length, the Parakeet is designed for minimal bulk, making it an ideal lightweight EDC companion.
With a hardness rating of 60–61 HRC, the Nitro-V blade delivers a strong balance of toughness and edge retention, making it reliable for everyday use while remaining easy to maintain. Every detail of this knife reflects a focus on practicality, portability, and modern design innovation.
