SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kizer T1 CD Olive Green captures everything knife enthusiasts love about Kizer’s design philosophy—clean lines, premium materials, and precision-built performance wrapped in a form that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. It’s a knife that exudes quiet strength and refined utility, designed for those who appreciate function with a touch of sophistication. Every detail of the T1 CD reflects craftsmanship at its best, making it a dependable companion that’s as capable as it is striking.
At 7.55 inches overall, the T1 CD finds the perfect balance between compact carry and full-hand comfort. The 3.20-inch drop point blade is forged from high-performance Nitro-V stainless steel, offering a superior blend of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. Finished in a sleek black stonewash, the blade delivers a rugged, wear-hiding surface that adds visual depth and character. It’s a blade built to take on daily cutting tasks with authority, whether you’re slicing rope, breaking down boxes, or handling more precise work that demands control. The slim 0.11-inch blade thickness gives it a fine slicing edge without sacrificing durability, allowing it to glide smoothly through material.
The handle, crafted from Norplex UltreX™ Micarta in a handsome olive green, strikes a beautiful harmony between strength, grip, and comfort. Micarta has long been a favorite among knife users for its tactile feel and durability, and the UltreX™ version takes that performance even further. Its subtle texture provides dependable traction in any condition, while its natural warmth and evolving patina add a personal touch over time. The contours fit naturally in the hand, creating a confident and comfortable grip that enhances every use.
Kizer’s clutch lock system brings innovation and precision to the heart of this design. It offers a smooth, fidget-friendly action that allows easy one-handed operation while ensuring solid lockup and dependable safety. The mechanism’s fluid motion pairs perfectly with the blade’s effortless deployment via thumb stud, creating a satisfying and intuitive experience every time you open or close the knife. The deep carry reversible pocket clip keeps the T1 CD discreet, adaptable, and ready for action on either side, while its 3.50-ounce weight makes it feel substantial without being bulky.
The overall impression of the T1 CD Olive Green is one of thoughtful craftsmanship—purpose-built yet elevated by refined aesthetics. It embodies a seamless mix of modern mechanics, timeless materials, and everyday practicality. This is a knife designed not just to be carried but to be used, appreciated, and admired for years to come. Every curve, cut, and texture feels intentional, reinforcing Kizer’s reputation for building tools that inspire confidence and deliver consistent performance.
