The Kizer C01C 2.9 BS PCB K3488.29BS3 is the most understated variant in the series, combining a black Resin & PCB handle with an S35VN steel Sheepsfoot blade coated in black PVD. The printed circuit board visible beneath the resin layer gives the design a distinctive, technical look.
The Kizer Button Liner Lock™, thumb hole, and Ball bearings ensure smooth one-handed operation, while the Sheepsfoot profile is well-suited for everyday tasks requiring edge control. The model combines the functionality of a utility folder with an unusual design inspired by electronics.
S35VN – Durable Steel for an EDC Folding Knife
S35VN steel offers good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. A hardness of 59±1 HRC provides a practical compromise between the ability to maintain sharpness and the possibility of subsequent blade maintenance.
Sheepsfoot and flat grind
The Sheepsfoot provides a long, easy-to-control edge and a lowered tip. The flat grind facilitates smooth cutting through materials and is well-suited for everyday tasks requiring precise blade control.
Black PVD coating
The blade has been coated with a black PVD coating, which complements the dark aesthetic of the entire model and creates an additional protective layer on the steel’s surface.
Black Resin & PCB Handle
The handle is made from a combination of resin and actual PCB. The dark color scheme maintains a subdued character, while the printed circuit board traces visible beneath the transparent layer give the surface a three-dimensional effect.
Kizer Button Liner Lock™
The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ uses a liner lock to secure the blade and a button to release the mechanism. The design facilitates quick operation and allows for closing without placing your fingers in the path of the blade.
Thumb Hole and Ball Bearings
The Thumb Hole provides convenient access to the blade during one-handed opening. Ball bearings support smooth pivot mechanism operation and consistent mechanism movement.
Why Choose the Kizer C01C 2.9 BS PCB K3488.29BS3?
This is the model for users who prefer a subdued color scheme but still want to retain the unique character of the Resin & PCB Handle. S35VN, a black PVD coating, the Kizer Button Liner Lock™, and a real printed circuit board come together to create a functional folder with a robust, high-tech feel.
