61,04 €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 Chocolate Glacier Richlite, Satin Brushed Nitro-V by Giedymin – a compact EDC folder inspired by the karambit
The Kizer Dodo Karambit V2702A1 is a compact folding knife designed by Giedymin Kapuściński, combining the aesthetics of a karambit with the practical format of an EDC folder. The Modified Karambit blade, Nitro-V steel, and Chocolate Glacier Richlite handle create an unconventional yet functional design for everyday cutting tasks.
The V2702A1 variant stands out with its satin-brushed blade finish and the warm, decorative surface of the handle. The blade hole and flipper provide two opening methods, while the finger ring, jimping, and dual lanyard holes enhance control over the knife during use and transport.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for EDC
The blade is made of Nitro-V stainless steel with a hardness of 60–61 HRC. This material performs well in everyday carry knives, offering good corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, and the ability to achieve a sharp cutting edge. After use, it is recommended to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly.
Modified Karambit and flat grind
The Modified Karambit profile combines a curved blade line with a functional cutting edge reminiscent of a recurve cleaver. This geometry works well for cutting ropes, straps, packaging, and lightweight utility materials. The flat grind facilitates smooth blade guidance, and the Satin Brushed finish gives the blade an elegant, technical look.
Chocolate Glacier Richlite, Liner Lock, and finger ring
The handle is made of Richlite, a composite of resin-soaked paper layers pressed under high pressure. In the Chocolate Glacier variant, the material gives the knife a distinctive, decorative look. The Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when open, and the steel backspacer integrated with the finger ring provides more secure handling of the knife.

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 Liner Lock work?
When the blade is opened, a spring-loaded part of the steel inlay slides under the blade root and locks the blade in place. To close the knife, slide the inlay back and carefully close the blade.
What is Richlite?
Richlite is a composite material made of layers of paper impregnated with resin and pressed under high pressure. This version features a Chocolate Glacier finish.
What is the finger ring for?
The finger ring increases control over the knife and allows for a more stable hand position while cutting. Its use depends on the grip and the user’s preferences.
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 is mounted on the right side.
