The Kizer Astur ZeroS K3818ZBD4 is a variant designed specifically for left-handed users. It combines a black aluminum handle with a satin-finished CPM MagnaCut Clip Point blade featuring a Hollow grind. The semi-circular Button Liner Lock and titanium clip are positioned for left-handed use.
In addition to its left-handed configuration, the model retains all the key features of the Astur ZeroS series: a minimalist design, a manual thumb stud, ball bearings, and a compact 80.77 mm blade. Weighing 94.97 g, it remains a comfortable folder for everyday carry.
CPM MagnaCut – High-Performance EDC
The blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel, which combines excellent corrosion resistance, high impact strength, and good edge retention. This material is particularly well-suited for an everyday carry knife, where versatility and resistance to varied usage conditions are key.
Clip Point and Hollow
Clip Point provides a precise tip and a well-controlled cutting edge. The Hollow grind facilitates smooth cutting through materials and maintains a slender geometry in the lower part of the blade.
Satin-finished blade and black handle
The satin finish creates a striking contrast with the black aluminum handle. This gives the ZBD4 a more classic look than the dark DLC variants, while retaining the modern, minimalist character of the entire series.
Left-handed version
The model’s most distinctive feature is its left-handed design. The semi-circular Button Liner Lock is positioned for comfortable operation with the left hand, and the titanium tip-up clip is located on the left side of the Handle.
Ball bearings and Thumb Stud
The blade operates on ball bearings, making manual opening with the Thumb Stud smooth and consistent. This design works well with the left-handed lock configuration and allows for comfortable one-handed operation of the knife.
Aluminum Construction
The handle and backspacer are made of black aluminum. This design ensures high rigidity and low weight while maintaining a clean, uniform design line.
Why Choose the Kizer Astur ZeroS K3818ZBD4?
This is a particularly interesting option for left-handed users who often have to use folding knives designed primarily for right-handed use. The ZBD4 offers a dedicated left-handed configuration, CPM MagnaCut steel, a satin-finished blade, and Brian Brown’s minimalist design.
