The Kizer Field Guide 1117A2 is a utility knife with a fixed blade designed by Johan Jordaan for field work, camping, and everyday carry. The AEB-L steel Trailing Point blade, green Norplex UltreX™ G10 handle, and black PVD coating with a stonewashed finish create a durable, understated configuration.
The contoured handle, deep choil, and jimping promote a stable grip during precise cutting. The skeletonized tang reduces the weight of the knife, while the Kydex sheath and Tek-Lok attachment provide a practical way to carry it.
AEB-L – Practical Outdoor Steel
AEB-L offers good corrosion resistance, favorable toughness, and easy sharpening. These characteristics are well-suited for a field knife, where easy edge maintenance and reliability in everyday tasks are essential.
Trailing Point and Flat Grind
The Trailing Point profile combines a raised tip with a curved edge, which promotes smooth, long cuts and good blade control. The flat grind provides versatile cutting performance and is well-suited for outdoor applications.
Black PVD coating with a stonewashed finish
The blade is coated with black PVD and then given a stonewashed finish. This combination gives the surface a matte, rugged look and helps minimize the appearance of minor wear marks.
Norplex UltreX™ G10 Handle
The handle is made of Norplex UltreX™ G10 in Green. The material provides high durability and a secure grip in varying conditions, making it well-suited for outdoor use.
Skeletonized tang – balance and weight reduction
Inside the handle, a skeletonized tang is used—a lightweight tang that reduces the knife’s weight and improves its balance. This solution also preserves the robust character of a fixed-blade design.
Choil, jimping, and grip control
A deep choil stabilizes the hand at the front of the Handle, while jimping on the spine increases thumb grip. Together, these features improve control of the knife during precise and extended tasks.
Kydex and Tek-Lok Clasp
The set includes a Kydex sheath that protects the blade and securely holds the knife during transport. The Tek-Lok attachment allows you to conveniently clip the sheath to your belt and adjust the carrying position.
Why Choose the Kizer Field Guide 1117A2?
This is a more field-oriented variant of the Field Guide, combining a durable G10 handle, a stonewashed PVD finish, and easy-to-maintain AEB-L steel. The design works well as a compact fixed-blade knife for camping, outdoor work, and everyday use.

How do you sharpen AEB-L?
AEB-L responds well to standard ceramic and diamond sharpening systems. Its relatively easy sharpening is one of its practical advantages in outdoor knives.
