35,98 €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 Bowtie Stonewashed D2 Knife by Henning Marxen (1061A1) – an extremely durable neck knife
The Kizer Bowtie 1061A1 is a compact knife with a monolithic fixed blade, designed by Henning Marxen as an uncompromising tool for concealed carry. It features a unique geometry in which a massive 6 mm thick handle contrasts with a precisely ground, thin cutting edge. This design combines the durability of a crowbar with the aggressive cutting performance typical of Reverse Tanto knives, making it the ideal choice for users seeking maximum rigidity in a miniature format.
D2 tool steel – high hardness and wear resistance
The blade, made of D2 tool steel, has been hardened to a range of 61-62 HRC, placing it at the forefront in terms of edge retention. The Stonewashed finish gives the knife a rugged character and effectively masks micro-scratches that occur during daily use. Thanks to its high carbon content, this steel offers aggressive cutting performance, which is crucial for emergency EDC tasks.
Ergonomic grip and monolithic construction
The Bowtie’s unique design features a round handle profile that perfectly fills the palm, despite the absence of additional grips. This solution eliminates the risk of mechanical failure and makes the knife extremely easy to clean and maintain. Wide relief holes not only reduce the total weight but also serve as secure points of support for the fingers during precise work.
Why choose the Kizer Bowtie for your gear?
The Kizer Bowtie is a tool designed for those who value minimalist design and absolute reliability, where the absence of moving parts guarantees readiness for use in any conditions. Its unique shape and carrying system in a thermoformed sheath allow the knife to be worn around the neck, on a belt, or even on a backpack strap, making it a versatile addition to a survival kit or urban EDC. It is designed for users who demand the durability of full-size tools from a small knife.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Kizer Bowtie best suited for?
The Kizer Bowtie is a specialized neck knife that works best as a discreet backup tool or primary blade for light EDC tasks. Thanks to its unique blade profile, it excels at precise cutting and piercing.
What steel is the blade made of, and what does that mean in practice?
The blade is made of high-carbon D2 tool steel, hardened to a very high level of 61-62 HRC. In practice, this means that the knife cuts extremely aggressively and rarely requires sharpening; however, due to its high hardness, the process of resharpening it requires the use of diamond whetstones.
What are the carrying options for this knife?
Thanks to the included thermoformed plastic sheath, the knife offers four main carrying modes: as a neck knife, in a pocket (pocket carry), on a belt, or on a backpack strap. This allows the tool to be fully adapted to your current gear setup.
