The Kizer Z-82 The Bad Captain SMKW The New Avengerbolts SMKW Exclusive brings bold design and serious performance together in a folding knife that refuses to blend in. As part of the Smoky Mountain Knife Works The Avengerbolts series, this exclusive model showcases premium materials, striking style, and Kizer’s commitment to precision craftsmanship. Built for everyday carry and ready for action, it’s a standout addition to any collection.
At the core of The Bad Captain is a 3.47” tanto blade crafted from 154 CM stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, 154 CM delivers reliable performance for demanding cutting tasks. The tanto profile offers a reinforced tip that’s ideal for piercing, along with a straight edge designed for clean, controlled slicing. Finished with a black titanium nitride coating, the blade not only enhances wear resistance but also gives the knife a sleek, tactical look that complements its bold personality.
Deployment is quick and seamless thanks to the flipper tab and smooth ball-bearing pivot system. With just a flick, the blade glides open with satisfying precision. A robust linerlock holds the blade securely in place once deployed, providing confidence and safety during use. This combination of smooth action and solid lock-up makes The Bad Captain a dependable tool for everyday tasks, whether you’re working indoors or out in the field.
The handle’s unique styling sets this knife apart from the crowd. Constructed of black, white, and red double-layered G-10, it offers excellent durability and a textured grip for superior control. The layered color design adds a bold and dynamic visual element, while the ergonomic shape ensures the knife feels comfortable and secure in hand during extended use. G-10’s lightweight toughness keeps the overall weight down without sacrificing strength, making it ideal for daily carry.
Measuring 4.76” closed and 8.23” overall, The Bad Captain balances a substantial feel with a slim profile that’s easy to carry. It weighs in at 4.44 oz., offering just the right amount of heft for confident handling without being overly bulky. A reversible, tip-up pocket clip provides versatile carry options for both right- and left-handed users, and the integrated lanyard hole gives you even more ways to customize how you carry this exclusive piece.
Every detail of The Bad Captain reflects Kizer’s dedication to creating knives that are as functional as they are visually striking. It’s a perfect blend of practical utility and artistic design, making it a great choice for knife enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates standout gear.
