The Kizer Sheepdog Survival 1105A3 is a massive fixed-blade knife designed for demanding outdoor tasks, bushcraft, and survival applications. The 1095 steel Clip Point blade, black coating, G10 handle, and full-tang construction combine to create a robust tool built for durability and reliability during heavy-duty work.
This model stands out for its highly functional handle. The steel tip can be used as a hammer, and the integrated fire-start groove supports traditional fire-starting methods. Multi-zone jimping, lanyard holes, and a contoured handle help maintain control during chopping, planing, and other outdoor tasks.
1095 – Classic Carbon Steel for Outdoor Work
The blade is made of 1095 steel hardened to 57–60 HRC. This material is valued for its high impact resistance, edge stability, and ease of sharpening in the field, which suits the nature of a survival knife designed for heavy-duty work.
Clip Point – Control and a Functional Tip
The Clip Point profile provides a well-defined tip and a functional cutting edge. This geometry works well for more precise work, preparing materials, and tasks requiring confident blade control.
Flat grind and black coating
The flat grind provides versatile geometry and good cutting performance with a thick, durable blade. The black coating protects the carbon steel from moisture and wear while reducing light reflections.
Black G10 – a durable handle for heavy-duty work
The handle is made of black G10, a material resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use. The ergonomic contour supports a natural hand grip, and multi-zone jimping enhances control during more strenuous work.
Full Tang – full steel tang
The Full Tang construction means that the steel blade tang extends the entire length of the handle. This design creates a solid, uniform structural base suitable for tasks requiring greater durability and stability.
Steel hammer and fire-arc recess
The end of the handle is equipped with a steel hammer designed for controlled striking tasks. The integrated fire-start recess expands the model’s functionality for bushcraft and survival applications.
Kydex with a rotating belt clip
The knife comes with a Kydex sheath featuring a rotating belt clip. The system offers eight adjustment positions at 45° intervals, allowing you to carry the knife vertically or horizontally and customize the configuration to fit your gear.
