0,00 €Kizer Field Guide Brown Norplex UltreX Micarta, Satin AEB-L by Johan Jordaan – a compact fixed-blade knife for EDC and outdoor use
The Kizer Field Guide 1117A1 is a compact fixed-blade knife designed by Johan Jordaan for everyday use, field work, and light outdoor tasks. The AEB-L steel trailing-point blade, brown Norplex UltreX™ Micarta handle, and satin finish create a functional, classic configuration.
The handle profile is complemented by a deep choil and jimping, which enhance grip control during precise cutting. The design features a skeletonized tang to reduce weight and maintain good balance, while the Kydex sheath with a Tek-Lok mount facilitates safe carrying of the knife.
AEB-L – Stainless Steel for Field Use
The blade is made of AEB-L steel, valued for its good corrosion resistance, favorable toughness, and ease of sharpening. It is a practical material for an outdoor knife and EDC, which should be easy to maintain even outside the workshop.
Trailing Point and Flat Grind
The Trailing Point profile features a raised tip and a distinctly curved cutting edge, which increases the blade’s contact length with the material. The flat grind provides versatile cutting performance and works well for both everyday and outdoor tasks.
Satin Finish on the Blade
The blade features a satin finish that accentuates its lines and gives the surface a classic, clean look. The light-colored blade complements the brown Micarta handle well.
Norplex UltreX™ Micarta Handle
The grips are made of Norplex UltreX™ Micarta in Brown. The material provides a distinct, natural texture and a secure grip, while the handle’s contouring reduces fatigue during extended use.
Skeletonized tang – a lightweight and well-balanced design
The design utilizes a skeletonized tang, which is a lightweight tang running through the Handle. This reduces the knife’s weight and improves its balance without sacrificing the functional, rigid construction of a fixed blade.
Choil, jimping, and lanyard hole
The deep choil helps position the hand securely, while the jimping on the spine increases thumb control during precise cutting. The lanyard hole provides additional security for the knife or makes it easier to draw.
Kydex sheath and Tek-Lok attachment
The knife comes with a Kydex sheath that securely protects the blade during transport. The Tek-Lok mounting system allows you to conveniently attach the sheath to your belt and adjust the carrying style to your preferences.
