I’d been on the fence about this knife as the pivot was alway that ugly (to me) spiral design.
I always thought it made it look cheap.
Finally after 3 years of it being on my list I decided to buy it.
When it arrived I was surprised to see that they’ve switched to a clean plain pivot.
So much nicer looking.
S35VN is one of my favorite steels to carry & sharpen. Oddly enough BladeHQ still uses the old photo of the original pivot in their listings.

Figured I’d add a few comparison pics for anyone interested.

Nice looking knife! I like the blade to handle ratio!

Very nice looking grumpy!

One of my favorite steels! Great knife!!

Nice, and great comparison photos.

Nice Knife. Excellent Steel.

Most of the Kizer's I've looked at had a pretty good price/performance ratio, did you get a good deal on this knife?

Regularly $175 , I went for the Black Friday sale price of $140

Reminds me a lot of a Reeves small sabenza at a lot lower cost. Very nice looking knife sir.
