Kizer Nice Guy Pocket Folding Knife, 2.84" Nitro V Blade, Lightweight Sharp Camping and Hiking Knife, Comfort Micarta Handle, Liner Lock Flipper Knife V3011A3

This is a nice knife. Hits well above its price point!.The blade is well centered and the grind is perfect.This EDC is very sharp with a nicely tuned detent.I stropped my knife for a couple minuets and now its Wicked Scary Sharp!.The Richlite scales are very light , have a great feel and are pretty to look at.Richlite is "Paper Micarta". The Nice Guy has the frame/liner lock on one side only and the Richlite scale works as the frame on the show side. This knife produces no hot spots on the hand during extensive use.The hand feel and blade shape is stellar so don't sleep on this sweet little EDC pocket knife!.The CIVIVI milled titanium pocket clip(T001B) fits perfectly!.

I picked up this little beauty during Prime Days for 35 clams all-in. The selling point for me was the crazy cheap price for a Nitro-V blade which came nearly razor sharp. It shreds paper without even breaking a sweat, and it hasn't even seen the strop or ceramic rod yet. It's light, quick, snaps open with authority, and it's a slicer. It has very good detent, the liner lock is solid, it has good gimping, and the blade came perfectly centered.It's riding the edge of being too small for my large size hands (4" wide), but isn't. I can almost get 4 fingers on it and can easily achieve that if I employ the finger choil.I didn't care for the reddish Richlite scales that it shipped with and found an easy remedy for a 5 spot as shown. This is the result of 3 minutes in the dye pot. (Rit Dye DyeMore Synthetic - Graphite). Disassembly/reassembly were simple and I gave the pivot bearings a shot of camellia oil for good measure while tore down.I have a tub of decent folding knives from which to choose ranging in size from over 4" blades down to 2", but this has moved into my current EDC option. I forget it's even clipped to my pocket. If you're looking for something different or are just tired of lugging around those 3-4+" hogs, I would recommend this as a viable option if you don't mind a smallish very light tool.

The media could not be loaded. The Kizer Nice Guy is a sleek, lightweight folder with a razor-sharp Nitro-V blade and grippy micarta scales. It’s compact, easy to carry, and the action is super smooth with a solid lockup.I added a paracord lanyard with a bead, which makes it easier to pull from my pocket and adds a nice bit of balance and personality.Great value for the quality — sharp, stylish, and ready for daily use. Highly recommended!

I bought the red Richlite with the NitroV blade. I enjoy this knife, the blade is incredibly sharp, has a great shape and the scales are ergonomic. My only issue with it is that there is not much metal lining beyond the pivot and lock to add rigidty to the handle. If you squeeze the scales they will flex in towards eachother which makes me question the integrity of the locking mechanism and the durability of the handle. This is partially why the knife is so lightweight. Looking back, I wish I had purchased the G10 version because I'd imagine the grip to be much less slippery and probably stiffer and a bit heavier as well (my preference). I do love the NitroV blade though. It is my first one and I can tell the quality is higher than D2 and the various CR mov's. From what I understand they can be made sharper as well. I just wish the knife was slightly shorter closed, its just a tad too long to fit in the 3rd pocket of my jeans.Despite my personal issues with the scales, the jimping in the knife is very strong and makes for a hearty 'snap' when the flipper is used to deploy the blade. Overall, I believe this to be a great knife and the 4 stars are for the slippery scales and lack of reinforcement.

First, be aware this is a small knife. I know everyone can read the blade size in the specs, but be aware there is also a good sized choil, which is actually good. More on that later.Excellent flipper action with perfect detent. Thin blade with great grind for being super slicey. Feels very well made. This knife would be perfect for probably 95% of EDC tasks for most people, assuming light to medium use, which is probably 95% of us. Arrived shaving sharp.Has a decent sized choil. This cuts down on cutting length of thr blade, but really allows you to choke up. With my medium (or a little larger) hand, my thumb will easily reach the tip of the blade fully choked up. There are two gimping spots- one for standard grip and one for choked up.Great pocket clip retention. Sits very deep. Light weight and disappears in pocket.This will almost certainly become one of my go to knives in my EDC. Great price for the original at $39, but a steal on sale at $29!

The media could not be loaded. I've had this for about two weeks now and I'm loving it. I didn't own a Kizer so figured I'd give this guy a shot.First off it came razor sharp. I was in the process of moving/unpacking when I received it so the blade has made work of a mountain of cardboard and is still as sharp as the day it arrived.. The action is super smooth and snappy with zero blade play. It's very light weight, but by no means feels cheap. I really like the fine texture on the G10 handle as well.Lastly the price. The one I got was around $32 after tax. Honestly this thing is well worth the full price but a bargain with the Amazon discount. If the price stays like this I may snag a few more down the line for Xmas gifts. Highly recommend.
