Information
The Bamboo is a zen-like EDC option that blends simplicity and functionality in a design inspired by nature. The grippy OD green G10 handle features a bamboo trunk pattern and bamboo-shaped design, offering both aesthetic appeal and a secure, comfortable grip. The knife opens smoothly with the front flipper and is secured with a reliable liner lock. Crafted from German Nitro-V steel, the blade boasts excellent toughness, a black PVD finish, and a flat grind that strikes a perfect balance between aesthetics and cutting performance. A deep carry, reversible clip ensures easy concealment and ambidextrous carry, while the raised lock bar makes unlocking smoother. Additionally, the milled-out circles on the liner represent the cross-section of a bamboo tube, further enhancing the knife’s natural-inspired design.
Vanguard Series
The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as VG10 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.
Tools share a common goal and purpose. That purpose is performance, reliable to the end. Kizer brings you the Vanguard Series created with the purpose of distilling the essence of the Bladesmith and Prime Series into tools that excel in being used. This may not be your only knife, but this will be the knife you carry and use every day!
