The Kizer T1 CD Folder brings together modern engineering, premium materials, and the kind of dependable performance everyday carriers demand. Designed by Uli Hennicke, this refined folding knife delivers a balanced blend of durability, precision, and streamlined style that stands out whether it’s riding in your pocket or handling daily cutting tasks.
At the heart of the T1 CD is a 3.20-inch drop point blade crafted from premium M390 steel, a high-performance alloy known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Finished in a striking Black Matte DLC Ultra coating, the blade gains an added layer of wear resistance while maintaining a low-glare tactical look. The flat grind enhances slicing performance, giving the blade a clean, efficient cutting profile that handles everything from utility work to detailed tasks with confidence.
Opening the blade is fast and intuitive thanks to the thumb stud design. A quick, controlled motion brings the blade smoothly into action, making the T1 CD both practical and satisfying to deploy. Once open, the blade locks securely in place with Kizer’s Clutch Lock™, a dependable locking system that provides strong blade security while allowing for smooth, controlled operation.
The handle is built from lightweight yet durable blue aluminum, giving the knife a distinctive look while keeping overall carry weight to a manageable 4.05 ounces. Measuring 4.35 inches in length, the handle offers a comfortable grip that feels stable and balanced in hand. The vibrant blue finish adds a modern touch to the knife’s design, while the clean contours ensure it slips easily in and out of the pocket without snagging.
For convenient everyday carry, the T1 CD features a reversible deep-carry pocket clip that keeps the knife discreetly tucked away while remaining quickly accessible when you need it. With an overall length of 7.55 inches and a blade thickness of 0.12 inches, the knife strikes an excellent balance between strength, control, and portability.
From its premium M390 blade steel to its sleek aluminum handle and dependable Clutch Lock™ system, the Kizer T1 CD Folder is built for those who appreciate thoughtful design and serious performance in their everyday carry gear, available at SMKW.
