SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kizer SMKW Exclusive Nice Guy "Raiden" is a reliable and visually striking folding knife built for everyday carry with serious cutting capability. This exclusive variant takes the proven performance of the Nice Guy platform and elevates it with a bold, limited-edition aesthetic inspired by lightning-fast precision.
The blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, measuring 2.875 inches with a drop point profile and flat grind. Known for its high hardness, excellent edge retention, and corrosion resistance, Nitro-V is a steel that works as hard as you do. Finished in a clean satin polish, the blade offers smooth slicing and refined durability, making it equally at home in the shop, in the field, or on the job.
The handle sets this model apart from the rest of the Nice Guy lineup. Made from double-layered G-10, it's CNC-machined for a textured, secure grip and showcases a vivid blue and white "Raiden" UV-printed design. This electric motif is exclusive to SMKW and gives the knife a distinct identity without sacrificing comfort or control. It’s lightweight at just 2.85 ounces, yet balanced and solid in hand.
A flipper tab provides fast, intuitive deployment, while a liner lock ensures the blade stays firmly in place during use. Whether you're opening boxes, slicing rope, or handling daily cutting chores, the Raiden performs with ease and confidence.
Equipped with a deep-carry, reversible pocket clip, the knife sits low and discreet in the pocket, and supports both right- and left-handed users. Manufactured in China at Kizer’s state-of-the-art facility, the Raiden demonstrates the brand’s commitment to combining premium materials, quality construction, and modern styling in one dependable EDC tool.
If you're looking for a knife that delivers both performance and personality, the Raiden edition of the Nice Guy stands ready to meet the challenge—day in, day out. Visit SMKW to get yours today!
