44,99 €Kizer Evenki 1 Orange-Green G10, Stonewashed AEB-L by Azo – a lightweight fixed-blade knife for EDC and outdoor use
The Kizer Evenki 1 1097A1 is the smallest and lightest model in the Evenki series designed by Azo. The compact Drop Point blade made of AEB-L steel, with a flat grind, and an orange-green G10 handle create a handy knife for everyday tasks, short outdoor excursions, and applications where lightweight gear is important.
Despite its compact dimensions, the model features a full-tang construction, providing a solid foundation during use. The Kydex sheath, with adjustable tension, a Tek-Lok fastener, and a small whetstone, allows you to carry the knife comfortably and resharpen the edge in the field without needing to bring an additional sharpening kit.
AEB-L – Stainless Steel for Regular Use
The blade is made of AEB-L steel hardened to 58–60 HRC. The material effectively combines corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of resharpening, making it well-suited for a lightweight utility knife intended for frequent use.
Drop Point and flat grind
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile edge profile and a well-controlled tip. The flat grind allows the blade to glide smoothly through materials and performs well for typical EDC tasks, preparing small items, and light outdoor activities.
Stonewashed Finish
The blade is finished using the stonewashed method, which gives the surface a matte, rugged look and helps minimize the appearance of fine scratches that occur during everyday use. This finish complements the practical purpose of the entire Evenki series.
Orange-Green G10
The handle scales are made of G10 in a striking orange-green color scheme. The material is resistant to moisture and heavy use, and the contrasting colors make it easy to spot the knife in your gear or on the ground.
Full Tang – Sturdy Construction with Low Weight
The Full Tang construction means that the steel tang runs the entire length of the handle. In a model weighing just 56.10 g, this allows for a combination of low weight and a construction suitable for regular use.
Kydex, Tek-Lok, and a field whetstone
The knife comes with a Kydex sheath with adjustable tension, which allows you to customize how tightly the blade is held. The Tek-Lok attachment lets you clip the set to your belt, and the included field whetstone allows for quick edge sharpening while working in the field.
Why Choose the Kizer Evenki 1 1097A1?
The Evenki 1 is particularly appealing to users looking for the lightest possible fixed-blade knife that still offers a full-tang construction and a complete carrying system. Its compact blade, AEB-L steel, and weight of less than 60 g make it a practical tool for everyday carry.
