113,88 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Kizer C01C 2.9 BS Black Aluminum, Satin Elmax by Sheepdog Knives (Ki3488.29BSA1) – a folding knife with a sheepsfoot blade and Button Liner Lock™
The Kizer C01C 2.9 BS Black Aluminum, Satin Elmax by Sheepdog Knives (Ki3488.29BSA1) is an EDC folding knife featuring a sheepsfoot blade, designed for users seeking precise cutting control and a sturdy aluminum handle. ELMAX steel, a flat grind, and a satin finish ensure effective performance with packaging, cardboard, ropes, and everyday materials. The aluminum handle features milled sides that improve grip and reduce weight, while the textured spine and finger choil enhance precision control. The Thumb Hole opening mechanism, Kizer Button Liner Lock™ lock, and right/left-hand tip-up clip create a comfortable setup for everyday carry.
ELMAX – Powdered steel for control and durability
ELMAX is well-suited for a utility folder because it combines high corrosion resistance, edge retention, and edge stability. In the BS variant, it supports cutting flat materials, packaging, tapes, and cords—tasks where the sheepsfoot profile demonstrates its full utility. A hardness of 60–62 HRC enhances blade durability while requiring a robust sharpening system.
Sheepsfoot and flat grind – safer cutting with the edge
The sheepsfoot profile has a straighter cutting edge and a less aggressive tip, which increases control when opening packages, cutting tape, and working on flat surfaces. The flat grind improves blade contact with the material and makes it easier to maintain a straight cut line. The satin finish gives the blade a clean look and emphasizes the knife’s functional character.
Aluminum and Kizer Button Liner Lock™ – a rigid handle and a comfortable lock
The aluminum handle provides a technical, compact grip and good resistance to daily wear and tear. The milled sides increase friction, and the finger choil allows for more precise control of the edge during short tasks. Kizer Button Liner Lock™ stabilizes the blade when open and allows for convenient unlocking with a button.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen the ELMAX steel in the Kizer C01C 2.9 BS model?
ELMAX steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, food, or debris from cut materials. For sharpening, it is best to use a diamond or high-quality ceramic, as powder steel with a hardness of 60–62 HRC requires an effective and stable abrasive.

The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ combines blade stabilization when open with convenient one-button release. To close, press the button and control the blade’s movement, keeping your fingers out of the closing path.
How does the sheepsfoot profile differ in everyday use?
The sheepsfoot profile provides a straighter cutting edge and a less aggressive tip, which increases control when cutting flat materials. It is particularly practical for opening packages, cutting tape, and tasks where minimizing the risk of accidental punctures is important.
Does the aluminum handle increase the knife’s durability?
Yes, the aluminum handle provides rigidity, mechanical resistance, and a technical grip feel. Combined with milled sides, it improves hand stability during everyday use.
