The Kizer Task is a no-nonsense folding knife built to handle daily duty with sleek efficiency and subtle sophistication. Crafted with quality materials, a smart design, and a practical size, it’s made for those who expect performance without sacrificing style. From slicing open packages to more demanding utility work, this knife handles it all with the confidence and precision that Kizer is known for.
At the core of the Task is a 3.04-inch reverse tanto blade made from 154CM stainless steel, a proven steel that’s favored for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The reverse tanto shape adds a touch of tactical geometry, offering a robust tip for piercing and a long, flat cutting edge for clean, controlled slices. The bubble satin finish lends a distinctive visual appeal and helps reduce glare while maintaining a smooth glide through materials.
Opening the blade is quick and satisfying thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs that make it just as easy for left-handed users as right. Once open, the clutch lock mechanism provides secure lockup with smooth, fidget-friendly operation. It’s strong, reliable, and intuitive—ideal for a knife that’s going to see daily use.
The handle on the Kizer Task is made from black Micarta, a material prized for its grippy texture, durability, and handsome, understated appearance. It feels great in hand, even in wet or cold conditions, and adds just the right amount of tactile feedback without being abrasive. The ergonomics are dialed in, giving you a comfortable and confident grip in both forward and reverse holds.
Kizer includes a deep-carry pocket clip that’s reversible for left- or right-handed tip-up carry, ensuring the Task stays low-profile in your pocket but ready when you need it. At 4.2 inches closed and only 3.32 ounces, it’s lightweight and compact enough for daily pocket carry without weighing you down. The .11-inch blade thickness strikes a balance between strength and slicing performance, making it ideal for a variety of everyday cutting tasks.
Every Kizer Task ships boxed and includes thoughtful extras like a Kizer cleaning cloth and stickers, giving it a polished presentation right out of the box. Whether you’re picking it up for your own daily carry or giving it as a gift to someone who appreciates quality gear, it’s a knife that offers value, craftsmanship, and reliability all in one.
