Kizer Cutlery has added a new designer to its corral of collaborators. Jonathan Styles of Newfoundland Knife Co. brings Kizer a pair of clean, capable fixed blade designs this year.
The Elgon is a mid-sized fixed blade fusion of bushcraft ergos and Japanese bladecraft. Its total edge length is 3.94 inches long, and it’s a Japanese-style tanto, transitioning gentle between primary edge and secondary edge – a set up that gives it both universal cutting capability and high piercing power…
…Very different in form and function, the Cabox’s wide drop point blade is noticeably shorter than the Elgon’s tanto, coming in at 3.34 inches. Kizer describes this one as a skinner, a role that drop points are particularly well-suited for, but with both belly and straight edge it can do a lot more besides.
