KUV4488BC2: Vanguard V4488BC2 Chris Conaway C01C Button Lock Folding Knife – Brass

Kizer Cutlery

The Vanguard C01C folding knife by Kizer Cutlery is a collaborative project between Kizer and Sheepdog Knives custom knifemaker Chris Conaway. It’s a production version of his awesome custom design, manufactured with superior quality and premium features. It’s an ideal-sized folder that gives you the beefiness of a Sheepdog Knife in a more everyday carry-sized and priced package. The 3.3″ sheepsfoot blade is made from CPM-3V tool steel with a wide cleaver-style shape perfect for a variety of utility tasks. The bearing pivot system allows for smooth blade opening, as with all Kizer knives, and the button lock keeps your fingers in the clear. The contoured brass handle is a wonder of ergonomics, it really contours to each and every curve of the hand with milled lines for looks and additional grip. It is an excellent knife built with a quality anyone can appreciate.

Vanguard Series

The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as VG10 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.

Tools share a common goal and purpose. That purpose is performance, reliable to the end. Kizer brings you the Vanguard Series created with the purpose of distilling the essence of the Bladesmith and Prime Series into tools that excel in being used. This may not be your only knife, but this will be the knife you carry and use every day!
