57,81 €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 Dodo Karambit Black G10, Black Stonewashed Nitro-V by Giedymin – a folding karambit with a G10 handle
The Kizer Dodo Karambit V2702A3 is the black variant of the EDC folding karambit designed by Giedymin. The Modified Karambit blade, Nitro-V steel, black G10 handle, and Black Stonewashed finish create a cohesive, technical configuration for everyday carry.
The model combines an unusual, curved blade geometry with practical folding knife features: a Liner Lock, Thumb Hole or Flipper opening mechanism, and ball bearings. The finger ring, milled handle surface, and jimping help provide better control of the knife during use.
Nitro-V and Black Stonewashed
The blade, made of Nitro-V stainless steel with a hardness of 60–61 HRC, offers practical features for an EDC knife: corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, and consistent sharpness in everyday use. The Black Stonewashed finish gives the blade a matte, rugged look and minimizes the appearance of minor wear marks.
Modified Karambit and Flat Grind
The Modified Karambit profile features a curved edge that works well for controlled cutting of ropes, straps, packaging, and cardboard. The flat grind enhances the blade’s versatility, and the compact proportions make it easy to carry the knife in a pocket.
Black G10, Liner Lock, and tip-up clip
The black G10 handle provides a durable, practical grip surface. The steel backspacer integrated with the finger ring reinforces the construction, and Liner Lock stabilizes the blade in the open position. The right-side tip-up clip means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Nitro-V steel?
The blade should be cleaned and dried after use. Nitro-V is well-suited for regular sharpening on whetstones, ceramic sharpening rods, or in a guided sharpening system.
How does the Liner Lock work?
When the blade is opened, the liner slides under the blade root and holds the blade in the open position. To close the knife, slide the liner back and close the blade under controlled pressure.
What are the benefits of a G10 handle?
G10 is a durable laminate with a practical grip surface. It works well in EDC knives because it is rigid, stable, and easy to keep clean.
What is the finger ring for?
The ring helps stabilize your grip and increases control over the knife during short, guided cuts. It can also make it easier to draw the knife from your pocket with confidence.
What does “tip-up clip” mean?
The tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. In this configuration, the clip is located on the right side.
