The Kizer Fire Ant Ki2535A1 is a small everyday knife designed by Dirk Pinkerton, custom knife maker and custom knife designer for Kizer.The Kizer Fire Ant Ki2535A1 is a perfect example of a premium knife that doesn't cost a significant amount of money to buy.The 69mm long blade is made from CPM-S35VN stainless steel with an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC. It has a high resistance to corrosion and chipping, it has a high impact strength, it retains its excellent sharpness for a very long time, and thanks to the addition of niobium, sharpening is not difficult and time-consuming.However, due to the specificity of the CPM-S35VN steel, we recommend the use of diamond steel stones for sharpening.The warncliff blade profile used with beveled crest, straight cutting edge and flat cut will be perfect for precise cutting and carving.The blade is designed with a double-sided tang, a solution convenient for right and left-handed people. The back of the blade's spine has transverse cuts that allow the thumb to rest while cutting. The blade is perfectly centred and operates very smoothly and effortlessly thanks to the ceramic ball bearings.The opened blade is blocked by a monolithic frame lock with a steel reinforcement insert to counteract wear on the titanium strip.The knife is characterised by an aesthetic appearance and low weight thanks to the use of titanium liners, which resist corrosion, temperature and mechanical damage.The profiled shape of the handle and the grooves on the edges of the handle ensure a good grip and prevent the knife from slipping out of the hand. A simple titanium clip allows you to discreetly carry the knife in your pocket, blade side up.The Kizer Fire Ant Ki2535A1 is a small, easy-to-carry EDC knife with functionality and craftsmanship that will ensure long-lasting satisfaction.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSPage informationBlade profile WarncliffSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type Keretz lockKnife type foldingKnife type thumb studSteel type stainless steel - CPM S35VNFurther detailsClip for carrying includedSheath material metal - metal.
