The Kizer Microlith was designed by Nick Swan, modeled after his custom model of the same name. Boasting an excellent blade profile and ergonomic grip, the Microlith is a robust EDC flipper with all the features you expect from Nick. The blade is made of CPM-S35VN stainless steel with a beautiful drop point profile and blood groove. The handle is made from titanium with an inset liner lock and finger grooves that lock this three-finger design into your hand for an ultra-solid grip. The titanium pocket clip is thin and allows for a comfortable, secure carry and the flipping action is crisp and authoritative. This is an awesome, compact EDC folder built to extremely tight tolerances and your chance at a true Nick Swan knife at a fraction of the cost of a full custom.
Kizer uses high-tech wire EDM machines to cut the parts. This method is slower than laser or waterjet but Kizer feels the quality is worth the wait. Each component in Kizer knives is precision machined and engineered to the finest tolerances. The final fit, finish, action, and sharpness of each knife is achieved entirely by hand, employing the irreplaceable craftsmanship developed by generations of cutlery masters. Dedicated craftsman honoring the long-term goal of making the best knives possible is what Kizer brings to you.
