The Kizer T1 BD Sunset Finish Gray is a striking fusion of modern materials, refined engineering, and eye-catching design, crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate both performance and style. Designed by the renowned Uli Hennicke, this knife reflects a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering a tool that feels as exceptional in hand as it looks on display. With its sleek lines, bold finish, and ergonomic handle, the T1 BD brings together everything you want in a contemporary folding knife.
Measuring 7.55 inches overall, the T1 BD strikes the ideal balance between portability and functionality. Its 3.20-inch drop point blade is made from Nitro-V stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability for long-lasting performance. The Sunset Metal PVD finish adds a dramatic, iridescent tone that shifts subtly in the light, giving the blade a sophisticated and unique look. The drop point profile enhances versatility, making the knife adept for everyday cutting tasks, precise slicing, and controlled work while maintaining a clean, tactical aesthetic.
Deployment is smooth and intuitive thanks to the thumb stud opener. Combined with Kizer’s precise pivot and action tuning, the blade swings open effortlessly, giving you fast, confident access whenever you need it. Once open, the button liner lock provides secure, reliable retention, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place during use while allowing for quick, one-handed closing when needed. This combination of speed, safety, and mechanical refinement demonstrates Kizer’s commitment to functional design that performs under pressure.
The handle of the T1 BD is as impressive as the blade. Measuring 4.35 inches, it’s made from gray Norplex UltreX™ Micarta, a lightweight and durable material known for its excellent grip and toughness. The ergonomic shaping ensures comfort and control in the hand, even during extended use, while the textured surface provides traction without sacrificing style. The deep carry reversible pocket clip adds versatility for carry preferences and keeps the knife discreetly accessible. Weighing just 3.59 ounces, this knife feels balanced and responsive, never cumbersome, making it perfect for both everyday use and collection display.
Every detail of the T1 BD highlights Kizer’s commitment to quality and innovation. From the precision fit of the handle and blade to the dynamic Sunset Metal PVD finish, this knife blends utility and artistry seamlessly.
