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 Yorkie Orange G10 – a compact flipper with Nitro-V
The Kizer Yorkie Orange G10, Black Nitro-V by Ray Laconico (V3525A2) is a compact EDC folding knife featuring a Drop Point blade, an orange G10 handle, and a Liner Lock. Ray Laconico’s design combines compact dimensions, functional blade geometry, and quick opening via a flipper.
The blade, made of Nitro-V steel, features a black PVD coating that creates a striking contrast with the vibrant orange handle. The Yorkie is well-suited for everyday tasks such as opening packages, cutting tape, cardboard, and lightweight materials.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
Nitro-V is a stainless steel prized for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge stability. A hardness of 60–62 HRC helps maintain sharpness during regular EDC use.
The blade is coated with a black Black PVD Coating, which emphasizes the technical character of the design and complements the knife’s black details well.
Drop Point and Flat Grind – Versatile Geometry for EDC
The Drop Point profile provides a stable tip and a practical cutting edge. It works well for precise cuts, slitting cardboard, tape, packaging, and cord.
Flat Grind allows the blade to glide smoothly through materials and reduces resistance during light utility work.
Orange G10 and Liner Lock
The handle made of G10 ensures durability and a grippy surface. The orange finish increases the knife’s visibility and gives it a more distinctive character.
The Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when open, and the flipper allows you to quickly deploy the knife. The right-side, tip-up steel clip makes it convenient to carry the folder in your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Nitro-V steel?
Nitro-V steel should be cleaned and dried after use. Water stones, ceramic sharpeners, and guided sharpening systems work well for sharpening.
How does the Liner Lock work?
The Liner Lock uses a spring-loaded section of the steel handle inlay that, when the knife is opened, locks behind the blade and stabilizes it in the open position.
What is the Drop Point blade good for?
The Drop Point blade works well for cutting cardboard, tape, packaging, rope, and other typical everyday tasks.
Is orange G10 practical for EDC?
Yes. G10 provides durability and a secure grip, and the orange color makes the knife more visible in a pocket, backpack, or workshop.
How does the flipper opening mechanism work?
The flipper is a protruding element on the blade that, when pressed with a finger, activates the knife’s opening mechanism. It allows you to quickly and conveniently prepare the folding knife for use.
