I've had my Ophid for about 2 months now and it has to be my favorite pocket knife I've ever carried! Stays sharp and stays looking good no matter how many times I've dropped it. I will be giving Kizers for birthday presents from now on!
 
I had never heard of that model until you mentioned it. Just looked it up. Nice design. Except for the clip. Not a fan of the clip.
 
The clip is pretty strong. If I'm carrying it in my fishing shorts it tries to give me a reverse wedgie. The only thing that I think might be a flaw (just my opinion) is that a knife should be a flipper OR have the thumb stud. Trying to flip it with the stud and my thumb tries to catch the flipper.
 
Easily their most overlooked knife. Ive had mine about a year and I love it. Was my first Kizer. Still haven't figured out what tool to use to adjust the pivot, good thing it came just about perfect. That S35VN was a bit of a pain to sharpen at first, you really gotta work at it, but once you get there its great.
 
One of Kizer's earliest models! Excellent slicer because of its thin hollow grind. They recently released a new edition with lockbar insert.
Adjusting the pivot is easy when you take a large size flat tip screwdriver and grind the tip just a little bit thinner so it fits in the slots of the pivot.
