74,77 €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 Camp 180 Black G10, Black Stonewashed AEB-L by Jonathan Styles (1096A1) – an outdoor fixed blade knife with a long drop-point blade
The Kizer Camp 180 Black G10, Black Stonewashed AEB-L by Jonathan Styles (1096A1) is a full-size fixed blade knife designed for camping, camp work, food preparation, and outdoor tasks requiring a longer blade reach. The blade is made of AEB-L steel, features a drop point profile, a flat grind, and a reinforced swedge, creating a design focused on controlled cutting, durability, and easier field maintenance. The handle made of G10 was designed with medium and larger hands in mind, offering a full grip, hand guard, and good stability during extended use. The black stonewashed finish reduces light reflections and complements the utility-oriented nature of this knife, designed for a variety of outdoor tasks.
AEB-L – corrosion resistance and easier sharpening in the field
AEB-L is a stainless steel valued for its good corrosion resistance, high toughness, and the ability to be efficiently resharpened without advanced workshop equipment. In the Camp 180 model, it facilitates cutting food, camping gear, ropes, and small equipment items while maintaining predictable edge performance. A hardness of 58–60 HRC ensures a balance between blade stability and ease of sharpening during regular outdoor use.
Drop point and flat grind – versatility for camping tasks
The drop point profile provides a stronger tip and good control over the cutting line, making it suitable for both precision tasks and heavier field work. The flat grind facilitates smooth gliding of the blade through material, which is important for slicing, notching, food preparation, and working with gear. The reinforced swedge increases the rigidity of the blade near the tip, supporting work where precise blade guidance is needed.
G10 and Guarded Handle – Control During Extended Use
The handle made of G10 provides high mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, and a secure grip in field conditions. The textured surface increases friction, reducing the risk of slipping with wet hands or when working with gloves. The hand guard, elongated profile, and ergonomic shape help transfer force from the forearm to the blade, reducing fatigue during repetitive camp tasks.
Why choose the Kizer Camp 180 Black G10 for your gear?
The Kizer Camp 180 1096A1 is designed for users who need a larger fixed-blade knife for camping, bushcraft, meal preparation, and tasks requiring a stable grip.
