The Kizer C01C 2.9 BS PCB K3488.29BS2 combines the classic geometry of the C01C family with an unusual handle made of resin and an actual PCB. The blue layer of the electronic circuit, visible through the transparent resin, gives the design a three-dimensional, high-tech character.
The S35VN steel Sheepsfoot blade is coated with black PVD and features the Kizer Button Liner Lock™, a thumb hole, and ball bearings. The mechanism is designed for quick one-handed operation, while the unique handle sets this model apart both as a utility knife and a collector’s item.
S35VN – Proven Powder Steel
S35VN, with a hardness of 59±1 HRC, offers a favorable combination of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. It is a material well-suited for an EDC folder designed to regularly perform everyday cutting tasks.
Sheepsfoot with a flat grind
The Sheepsfoot profile promotes controlled edge guidance and reduces the aggressiveness of the tip. The flat grind provides a versatile geometry and performs well when cutting packaging, cardboard, and other common EDC materials.
Black PVD coating
The blade is coated with black PVD, which gives the surface a subdued appearance and creates an additional protective layer. The dark finish highlights the contrast with the blue PCB plate embedded in the handle.
Blue Resin & PCB Handle
The handle is a combination of resin and an actual PCB. The transparent layer exposes the layout of the tracks and pads on the board, creating a distinct sense of depth and giving the model a unique, electronics-inspired aesthetic.
Kizer Button Liner Lock™ and Smooth Operation
The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ mechanism uses a liner to lock the blade and a button to release it. This maintains comfortable, intuitive operation and reduces the need to place your fingers in the path of the closing blade.
Thumb Hole and Ball Bearing
The Thumb Hole allows for quick one-handed opening, while the ball bearings ensure smooth pivot movement. This combination works well with the model’s design, which is geared toward frequent use.
Why Choose the Kizer C01C 2.9 BS PCB K3488.29BS2?
It’s a functional EDC folder for users who appreciate unique materials and modern design. S35VN, Sheepsfoot, Kizer Button Liner Lock™, and an actual PCB embedded in resin create a distinctive and refined design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PCB pattern a print?
No. The manufacturer uses an actual PCB bonded with transparent resin. This makes the circuit pattern an integral part of the Handle’s construction, rather than just a surface print.
What is the Sheepsfoot profile used for?
The Sheepsfoot works well for controlled cuts, opening packages, and tasks requiring predictable edge guidance. The lowered tip reduces its aggressiveness during use.
How do you sharpen S35VN?
S35VN can be effectively sharpened using ceramic and diamond sharpening systems. Due to its good wear resistance, it’s best to use abrasives with appropriate grit sizes.
Is the clip reversible?
No. The clip on this model is designed to be worn on the right side in a tip-up configuration.
Are there any additional accessories included in the set?
No. No additional accessories are included with this variant.
