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. Regularly cleaning the pivot mechanism and the inside of the handle also helps keep the entire mechanism 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. It is safest 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™ stabilizes the blade in the open position using a crossbar that engages with the blade base. The mechanism allows you to conveniently release the lock without putting 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.
