Kizer Trestle Knife Gray Titanium/Mkuruti Wood, Damascus by Azo (V3761A2)

Kizer Trestle Gray Titanium/Mkuruti Wood, Damascus by Azo – an elegant slipjoint with a Damascus blade

The Kizer Trestle V3761A2 is a compact slipjoint folding knife designed by Azo, combining modern titanium with natural Mkuruti wood and a Damascus steel blade. This variant stands out for its more decorative character than the basic Trestle version, while retaining the same lightweight and simple manual construction.

With a total length of 167.80 mm and a weight of 71.30 g, the knife remains very handy. The 73.50 mm Clip Point blade offers sufficient cutting surface for everyday tasks, while the Titanium & Mkuruti Wood handle gives the knife an elegant, almost collector’s-grade appearance.

Damascus – decorative steel with a distinctive pattern

The blade is made of Damascus steel with a hardness of 60–62 HRC. The distinctive layering pattern gives the blade a unique appearance, and the higher hardness promotes good edge retention. In this version, practicality goes hand in hand with the blade’s more decorative character.

Clip Point and Flat Grind

Clip Point provides a well-controlled tip and a versatile cutting edge, suitable for precision work and light EDC applications. The Flat grind promotes smooth glide of the blade through the material and works well with the compact 73.50 mm blade.

Acid-washed – a darker blade finish

The blade surface features an Acid-washed finish, which highlights the Damascus steel’s grain and gives the blade a darker, more contrasting appearance. This effect complements the natural color of the Mkuruti wood and the gray titanium of the handle.

Titanium & Mkuruti Wood – a natural accent in a modern design

The handle combines titanium with Mkuruti wood. The metal provides rigidity and durability, while the wood adds a natural texture and unique surface pattern. The Silver & Brown color combination emphasizes the more elegant character of this Trestle variant.

Slip Joint – classic simplicity

The Slip Joint mechanism holds the blade in the open position using a spring, without a rigid lock. The mechanism is simple, lightweight, and reminiscent of classic pocket knives, which fits well with the model’s calm, elegant character.

Nail Nick and Washers

The Nail Nick—a classic notch in the blade—is used to open the knife. The pivot operates on spacers, ensuring simple and predictable mechanics. The absence of a clip allows the Trestle to maintain clean handle lines and a more traditional carrying style.

Why Choose the Kizer Trestle V3761A2?

This is the model for those who, in addition to functional simplicity, are looking for a more decorative design. Damascus steel, Mkuruti wood, titanium, and the classic slip joint come together to create an elegant design that seamlessly blends modern materials with the traditional form of a compact pocket knife.
