The Kizer Pinch is an everyday carry folding knife designed with simplicity, strength, and everyday functionality in mind. Built to meet the needs of those who want a reliable and stylish cutting tool, this folding knife balances premium materials with thoughtful design. At just the right size for daily use, it blends utility with comfort, making it an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted tool.
Its 3-inch drop point blade is made from Bohler N690 stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its toughness, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. Finished in sleek black, the blade not only performs under pressure but also has an understated aesthetic that looks sharp without being flashy. The drop point design lends itself to versatility, excelling in slicing, piercing, and controlled detail work. A long pull opening keeps the action simple and reliable, offering that smooth, no-nonsense feel that knife enthusiasts value in a manual folder.
Lockup is handled by a sturdy framelock mechanism, ensuring a secure hold when the blade is engaged. This kind of reliability builds confidence, letting you put the Kizer Pinch to work without hesitation. Despite its strength, the knife remains incredibly lightweight at only 2.96 ounces, making it a breeze to carry throughout the day without weighing down your pocket. The framelock’s design also enhances the knife’s slim profile, allowing it to slip easily into your jeans or jacket pocket.
The handle of the Kizer Pinch is crafted from gray and black Micarta, a material known for both durability and its ability to develop a unique patina over time. The Micarta provides a textured grip that feels comfortable in the hand, even during extended use. Its blend of gray and black tones gives the knife a modern, refined look, while still maintaining that rugged, utilitarian charm. The ergonomic shape of the handle makes it easy to hold with confidence, whether you’re tackling simple everyday cutting tasks or more demanding jobs.
A tip-up pocket clip is fitted to the handle, providing practical and discreet carry. The design allows for quick access while also keeping the knife secure when not in use. Measuring 4 inches closed and 7 inches overall, the Kizer Pinch is compact enough for convenient everyday carry yet large enough to handle a wide range of cutting needs. The .12-inch blade thickness adds durability without compromising precision, striking the perfect balance between strength and finesse.
As an EDC folding knife, the Kizer Pinch excels in delivering performance, style, and dependability. It’s a manual folder that appeals to those who appreciate classic opening methods and modern construction. Whether you’re a seasoned knife enthusiast or someone searching for a reliable daily companion, the Kizer Pinch offers the perfect mix of quality craftsmanship and practical design.
