46,08 €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 Beaver Black Micarta / Orange G10, Stonewashed / Blasted Nitro-V (1078A2) – bushcraft fixed blade
The Kizer Beaver Black Micarta / Orange G10, Stonewashed / Blasted Nitro-V (1078A2) is a compact fixed-blade knife for camping, bushcraft, and field work, designed for users who want easier maintenance and a secure grip. Nitro-V steel, a drop point profile, and a stonewashed / blasted finish create a functional blade for cutting, whittling, food preparation, and working with camping gear. The handle, made from a combination of Black Micarta / Orange G10, improves control and makes the tool more visible in your gear. The non-rounded spine for a fire starter, jimping on the spine, and the Kydex sheath emphasize the model’s outdoor purpose.
Nitro-V – durability and easier maintenance
Nitro-V steel performs well in outdoor knives because it combines practical corrosion resistance with good edge stability. A hardness of 60–61 HRC helps maintain sharpness during regular cutting while allowing for a reasonable level of maintenance. For the user, this means a knife suitable for wetter environments, field cooking, and everyday camping tasks.
Drop point and stonewashed / blasted – control and resistance to wear marks
The drop point profile provides versatile geometry for cutting, scoring, and controlled blade guidance. The stonewashed / blasted finish reduces the visibility of fine scratches and enhances the blade’s rugged character after regular use. This configuration is well-suited for bushcraft tasks where the blade is meant to be used frequently, rather than merely displayed.
Black Micarta / Orange G10 – ergonomics and better control in the field
The handle, made from a combination of Black Micarta / Orange G10, utilizes two materials with different functional properties. Micarta provides a more natural feel in the hand, while G10 enhances the rigidity and mechanical strength of the construction. The ergonomically curved profile, numerous milled grooves, and distinct color contrast help you grip the knife securely and find it more quickly in your gear.
Why choose the Kizer Beaver Black Micarta / Orange G10 for your gear?
The Kizer Beaver 1078A2 is a good choice for users looking for a small bushcraft knife for camping, hunting, food preparation, and everyday camp tasks. Nitro-V steel makes maintenance easier in the field, and the drop point profile offers versatility for tasks requiring precision. The Black Micarta / Orange G10 handle combines a secure grip with high visibility thanks to the contrasting element. This is the model for those who prioritize functionality, easier maintenance, and comfort when working outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to care for and sharpen Nitro-V steel in the Kizer Beaver model?
Nitro-V steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with food, moisture, or outdoor dirt. For sharpening, a ceramic sharpener, a water stone, or a diamond sharpener with a finer grit will work well, as Nitro-V allows you to restore a sharp edge relatively easily.
What tasks is the Kizer Beaver 1078A2 best suited for?
The Kizer Beaver 1078A2 is best suited for camping, bushcraft, food preparation, whittling, and basic outdoor tasks. Nitro-V steel makes it easy to use in variable conditions, and the drop point profile ensures control over the cut.
What are the benefits of a Micarta and G10 handle?
The combination of Micarta and G10 enhances the handle’s functionality by pairing a comfortable grip with high mechanical durability. The contrasting G10 element also improves the knife’s visibility in your gear, which is practical when working in the field.
Is this model suitable for use with a fire starter?
Yes, the model has an unrounded spine, meaning it is designed to work with a fire starter. This design allows you to strike sparks without using the cutting edge, so the blade isn’t unnecessarily stressed while starting a fire.
