The Kizer Microlith was designed by Nick Swan, it features an S35VN steel blade with a titanium handle. The blade has a bead blast finish and sports a flipper tab and thumb slot for convenient opening. To reduce the weight of the knife even more, there is no steel liner on the non locking side. It includes a 3D milled titanium pocket clip for convenient carry. It's a good little knife the scales give it the necessary weight to feel good in the hand.
