Nitro-V – Steel for Everyday Use

Nitro-V is a stainless steel that offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. In this model, it has a hardness of 60–61 HRC, providing a practical balance between edge durability and ease of sharpening during regular use.

Drop Point, Flat, and Black PVD Coating

The Drop Point profile provides a functional tip and a versatile edge profile suitable for typical EDC tasks. The flat grind supports efficient cutting, while the black PVD coating reduces glare and gives the blade a more technical, subdued look.

Richlite Chocolate Glacier and Kizer Clutch Lock™

The brown Richlite in the Chocolate Glacier variant gives the handle a distinctive look and creates a lightweight construction that complements the knife’s compact dimensions. The Kizer Clutch Lock™ secures the blade in the open position, and the reversible deep-carry clip allows for comfortable carrying on either the right or left side.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Nitro-V steel?

Nitro-V has good corrosion resistance, but after contact with moisture or dirt, it’s a good idea to clean and dry the blade. Regular cleaning of the mechanism and the inside of the handle also helps keep the knife running smoothly.

How do you sharpen the Nitro-V?

The steel responds well to water stones, ceramic stones, and sharpening guides. It does not require particularly aggressive abrasives, so restoring a sharp edge is relatively simple, even at home.

What sharpening angle should be used?

The manufacturer does not specify a single mandatory sharpening angle for this model. The safest approach is to restore the factory edge geometry or choose an angle that suits your own usage.

How does the Kizer Clutch Lock™ work?

The Kizer Clutch Lock™ uses a transverse component that engages with the blade base and stabilizes it in the open position. The mechanism allows you to conveniently release the lock without placing your fingers in the path of the folding blade.

How do you carry the Kizer C01C 2.9 CD?

The model features a reversible deep-carry clip made of stainless steel. It can be mounted on the right or left side of the Handle, and in both configurations, the knife is carried in the tip-up position.
