Just what the best Kizer knife for your purposes is will depend. Are you intending to carry? What discipline will you use the knife? Are you just collecting because you like cool new knives?

All of these requirements are different. With that said, the following 10 new Kizer knives (some of which are exclusives) portray a pretty broad cross-section of what the brand offers.

Take a look at some of these and see if your collection needs some refreshment.

Kizer Assassin “Colorful Warrior”

The Kizer Assassin “Colorful Warrior” is a White Mountain Knives exclusive of this great Kizer knife. It retains everything you love about the Assassin, with a corrosion-resistant Nitro-V blade that will hold an edge, and decorated with colorful aluminum scales that will catch the eye.

Kizer Assassin “Female Warrior”

This is another variation on the Kizer Assassin; the “Female Warrior” is inspired by a famous character known for her blue and gray armor. Like the previous Kizer knife, this one is outfitted with a Nitro-V blade and durable, attractive aluminum scales.

Kizer Drop Bear “The Mercenary”

The Kizer Drop Bear has been a heavy-hitter in terms of items that are popular from the Kizer catalog, thanks in part to its unique yet plain design. Much like the CRKT Squid, it is the simplicity and utilitarian design of the Drop Bear that has made it an icon of the catalog.

The Drop Bear’s plain, spear-pointed blade is perfectly sized for EDC and not overly specialized to any specific task; rather it retains maximum versatility to take out the widest possible range of tasks.

That, paired with a simple, yet comfortable and ergonomic handle design, along with a super-strong, ambi-friendly bar lock (Kizer calls it a Clutch Lock) have made the Drop Bear a winner on all fronts. This style of lock cannot be rivalled for strength or safety by effectively any other folding knife lock. It is strong, will not unintentionally disengage, and keeps the fingers out of the blade’s path when closing. Better yet, it can be both opened and closed with one hand.

This exclusive variant of the Drop Bear, nicknamed “The Mercenary” is inspired by a particularly famous character known for his blaster and companionship with a small, green alien child. You might know who we mean.

If not, you’ll still love the S90V super-steel blade that offers about everything a steel can, from edge retention to general toughness to corrosion resistance. If you like the Drop Bear, this is an excellent option.

Kizer Drop Bear “Bounty Hunter”

The “Bounty Hunter” version of the Drop Bear is another great option. Like the former entry, it retains everything you might love about the Drop bear with a unique design that is also inspired by a famous character.

Its attractive green aluminum scales are mated to an S90V blade that will take and hold an edge as well as stand up to a whole lot of hard use.

Kizer Feweed “Robot Sidekick”

Take one look at the “Robot Sidekick” variant of the Kizer Feweed and see if you can’t find the inspiration for its design.

Even if you can’t, there’s plenty else to love about this version of the Feweed, from its titanium scales featuring luminous blue carbon fiber inserts for relief, to its S90V super-steel blade that offers everything aforementioned.

Then there’s the clip point blade that offers aesthetic value as well as general utilitarianism. Maybe a smidge less than the spear point of the Drop Bear, but it offers a finer point for detail work and piercing efficiency that a spear point somewhat lacks.

Kizer Banish XL Exclusive

The Kizer Banish XL is one of the most unique patterns in the Kizer catalog, bar none, and this White Mountain Knives exclusive variant is a great one, too.

The Banish XL sports a 3”, sheepsfoot style blade with an extremely stout point that is reinforced to stand up better to hard use. Ideal for carving and slicing tasks, it is a highly utilitarian blade profile that may look overspecialized but is not.

Generous titanium handle scales afford a solid grip; another thing to love is the button lock, that, while it might not be quite as strong as the Clutch Lock, is still very strong, very safe, fidget friendly, and like bar locks, allows the blade to easily be opened and closed, safely, with one hand.

Christmas Kizer Drop Bear

Three things make this Christmas Kizer Drop Bear exclusive a winner. One is the red, green and gold color scheme that makes it a solid gift at Christmastime for a knife lover.

Another is the 14C28N blade. This might not be a particularly expensive steel, but it is fairly hard and it can take a ridiculously sharp edge. It won’t hold it forever, but resharpening this steel is surprisingly easy. Also, it is one of the most corrosion-resistant, relatively affordable steels on the market.

Lastly, this White Mountain Knives exclusive sports crystallized titanium scales that are lightweight, strong, and beautiful. A picture says a thousand words. Get a closer look and see for yourself on the product page.

Kizer Mini Momo

Lastly, we’re going to be offering a Kizer Mini Momo Christmas exclusive, made with a handsome gold-tone aluminum and plaid-patterned G10 handle. It also sports a Nitro-V blade and a liner lock that, though plain, will definitely attract some users.

This, being the solo variant of the Kizer Momo on this list, merits a word. The Momo has an attractive yet functional drop point blade with a fairly fine point that makes it perfect for tasks that require piercing or fine control. It’s definitely worth a closer look, just like our other Christmas exclusive.
