My hypocrisy goes only so far

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 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?


Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun...................
