The Kizer Wharning V3738BW3 stands out with its Brown Green GID Canvas Micarta handle and N690 steel Wharncliffe blade. The gray PVD coating with a stonewashed finish gives the blade a matte, utilitarian look, while the GID material creates an additional effect visible under light.

N690 – Balanced Performance Characteristics
N690 steel offers a good balance between corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of maintenance. It’s a material well-suited for a knife intended for regular use in the city and for light outdoor applications.
Wharncliffe – precision along the entire length of the edge
The Wharncliffe profile features a straight cutting edge, allowing the blade to glide predictably and making it easy to control the point of contact with the material. The flat grind further enhances cutting efficiency.
Gray PVD coating with a stonewashed finish
The blade is coated with gray PVD and then finished with a stonewashed treatment. The surface takes on a matte, rugged appearance that helps minimize the visibility of minor signs of everyday use.
Brown Green GID Canvas Micarta
The handle is made of GID Canvas Micarta in a brown-green color scheme. The material provides good grip, and the GID component can glow after being exposed to light, making it easier to locate the knife in darker environments.
Ergonomics Designed for Control
The finger groove, front choil, and jimping on the spine create distinct points of support for the hand. As a result, the Wharning offers good control during precise and short cuts.
Kizer Button Liner Lock™ and Smooth Mechanics
The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ is released with a button, while the thumb stud is used to open the blade. Ball bearings ensure smooth operation and consistent performance of the mechanism.
Why Choose the Kizer Wharning V3738BW3?
It’s the most outdoor-inspired variant in the family, combining GID Canvas Micarta with a dark stonewashed PVD finish. At the same time, it retains the simple Wharncliffe geometry and comfortable mechanics typical of the series.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does GID mean in the Handle name?
GID refers to a material capable of emitting a glow after being exposed to light. This effect can make it easier to find the knife in dark environments.
What are the properties of N690?
N690 offers good corrosion resistance and reasonable edge retention. It is also relatively easy to resharpen.
What does Gray PVD Stonewashed offer?
The gray PVD coating creates an additional protective layer, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a more rugged, practical look. This finish helps minimize the appearance of minor wear marks.
Can the clip be moved to the other side?
No. The clip is non-reversible and designed to be worn on the right side in the tip-up position.
How does the Button Liner Lock work?
The liner lock keeps the blade in the open position, while the button releases the lock. This allows you to close the knife without putting your fingers in the path of the blade.
