(SOLD) For sale is a Kizer Ti Framelock with a very nice anodized pattern on it. Asking $100. I'm literally only selling to fund either a G-10 Kizer or a ZT566.
It comes with a 3 inch blade, S35V steel. Anyone who disputes the steel is out of their mind. I spent a night cutting up cardboard boxes for about half an hour and the blade plowed through the cardboard like butter even though it has a somewhat thick spine. The cutting task left no mark on the blade either.
It's very hard to capture how nice looking the scales are as they change color in the light. Unlike the other Kizers's I'm not sure where to categorize this knife. It basically makes an excellent EDC knife. The 3 inch blade and handle really remind me of a mini-grip in flipper form. I have not been able to adjust the flipping as I don't have the tool for it. It flips open fast with a flick. The detent is very strong so that when you thumb flip it flies out. The knife is tip down only which I'm not the biggest fan of but the clip itself is quite usable. The fact that it's a flipper makes me forgive the tip down only aspect of the knife. Quality wise it is on par with ZT, Spyderco (not Taichung Spyderco), Benchmade which is shocking as this is a new company. What I mean by this is for most knife nuts only the most anal retentive of knife collectors would be dissatisfied in the production quality of this model. For most who live in the world of Benchmade, Spyderdo, Kershaw, etc...etc... fit and finish is really good.
I had a hard time photographing the scales as they chance color in different lighting but this is basically what it looks like under fluorescents. If you have a user or otherwise ZT566 or G10 Kizer please let me know. I'm looking for this same knife but a beastier version as I already have several EDC's with a 3 inch blade.
Note I will have this sharpened on a sharpmaker and stropped before I send it, it will shave off hair. Pros: Disappears in pocket, very usable steel, great fit in hand as a small EDC, cons: the one con about this knife is that the scales are a bit slippery under certain circumstances.
