The Ki4492 Alter Ego flipper by Kizer Cutlery is an in-house design by Kim Ning and it's very difficult to find anything thing wrong with this knife. The action, lockup, ergonomics, materials, and aesthetics are all on point and the size is perfect for both EDC and tactical usage. It's also very slender so it will carry very easily in the pocket until needed. It features a 3.55" CPM-S35VN stainless steel blade with a gorgeous recurved drop point shape and stonewashed finish. This folder has an organic, yet appealing look and a comfortable feel in the hand. The bearing pivot system allows for smooth blade opening, as with all Kizer knives. The matte silver finished titanium handle is slim with a milling pattern toward the butt end and jimping on the thumb ramp for added grip. Every surface and every edge are contoured for comfort so there are no hot-spots and it gives the knife a very high-class feel and look with the blue two-tone custom pivot. This is a great sized folder for every task and is built with a quality anyone can appreciate. It comes with a tip-up carry pocket clip that is reversible for lefties and a replaceable lockbar insert that doubles as an overtravel arrestor.

With over 20 years in the knife industry under his belt, Kim Ning is a veritable veteran when it comes to bringing his designs to life. Whether creating intricate folders or rugged fixed blades, Kim's devotion to attention shows thoroughly in each minute detail of his design.

Kizer uses high-tech wire EDM machines to cut the parts. This method is slower than laser or water jet but Kizer feels quality is worth the wait. Each component in Kizer knives is precision machined and engineered to the finest tolerances. The final fit, finish, action, and sharpness of each knife is achieved entirely by hand, employing the irreplaceable craftsmanship developed by generations of cutlery masters. Dedicated craftsman honoring the long-term goal of making the best knives possible is what Kizer brings to you.
