0,00 €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 Khamsin Sand Aluminum, Gray PVD / Stonewashed Nitro-V by Maksim Epifantsev – an EDC folder inspired by a sandstorm
The Kizer Khamsin V3791A1 is a folding knife designed by Maksim Epifantsev, inspired by the North African Khamsin wind and the nature of a sandstorm. The Sand-colored aluminum handle, Drop Point blade, and Nitro-V steel combine to create a practical EDC folder with a modern, technical look.
The model features a Fuller or Thumb Stud opening mechanism, a Kizer Clutch Lock™ with an adjustable spring, and a reversible deep-carry clip. The milled, geometric aluminum pattern improves hand-to-handle contact without being overly aggressive, while the thumb ramp and subtle swedge enhance control over the blade.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
The blade is made of Nitro-V stainless steel with a hardness of 60–61 HRC. This is a practical steel grade for EDC knives, valued for its corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and good performance when carried regularly. After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly.
Drop Point, Flat Grind, and Gray PVD / Stonewashed
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile geometry for opening packages, cutting cardboard, tape, cord, and lightweight materials. Flat Grind facilitates smooth blade control, and the Gray PVD / Stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian look.
Sand Aluminum and Kizer Clutch Lock™
The Sand-colored aluminum handle features a milled, geometric pattern inspired by the movement of sand. The Kizer Clutch Lock™ stabilizes the blade when open, and ball bearings ensure smooth operation of the mechanism. The right/left tip-up clip allows you to adjust the carrying side to your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Nitro-V steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Nitro-V responds well to regular sharpening using whetstones, ceramic sharpeners, or a guided sharpening system.
How does the Kizer Clutch Lock™ work?
The Kizer Clutch Lock™ stabilizes the blade in the open position using a Handle-operated locking mechanism. An adjustable spring allows you to fine-tune the mechanism’s operation.
What are the Fuller and Thumb Stud for?
The Fuller allows the blade to be opened by a longitudinal groove in the edge, and the Thumb Stud lets you initiate the motion with your thumb. Both features offer a convenient choice of operation.
What are the benefits of an aluminum handle with a milled pattern?
Aluminum provides a rigid and lightweight base for the construction, while the milled geometric pattern improves the grip without an overly sharp texture.
What does a tip-up clip mean?
The tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. On this model, the clip can be moved to either the right or left side of the Handle.
