Kizer Azo Towser S Micarta Black Folding Knife 18

£55 hefty & big, uber smooth (you'll need a torx key tho), great knife, only 3" blade but substantial. I wanted a sheepsfoot altho I've just seen the new Kizer Kuh for £60 with a button lock, both 154cm & the Kuh a bit longer blade. The Tower tho is a beast of a knife if you like the aesthetic & it's a good sized handle. I've jst bought 3 Kizer as I am very impressed with their build quality & materials. The Rolls Royce of Chinese knives & I bet the button locks in good steel are well up with U.S. knives & about half their price

After careful consideration I am delighted with Towser S. The fit and finish is good. The micarta feel is a happy medium - nice grip but smooth enough not to have any areas that might snag. The blade is a beautiful stonewash that shouldn't attract unwanted attention - also a very useful blade shape with a hint of curvature and not too "pokey-pokey"?. Ergonomic shape melts into your hand especially whilst using the finger choil. Action is unreal - it flies open with authority and is "drop-shutty" straight out of the box and has satisfying acoustics. If you're on the fence about this knife just treat yourself - you won't be disappointed. Last, but not least, Heinnie's service deserves a mention. This was ordered on Friday morning and I had the knife in hand Saturday lunchtime. 2 days before Xmas no less. Absolutely phenomenal. Many thanks.

Lovely knife, great ergos, nice blade shape. Super slicey and well balanced. Detent is really good on it, great action from the thumb and reverse flick and really nice on closing. Probably the best knife in my collection

What a totally different experience from the Towser K . It’s quite a bit of a mind spin how much the difference in size has completely changed this knife !! KIZER’S spot on quality as always every edge smoothed the action is snapping out like an alligator’s jaws you would think it was assisted how fast and freely it just pops out with a snap! Build is solid and everything you look for it bang on grind blade centring. Just trust me even if you already own a TowserK you need to get one of theses . I personally think it will be around just as long as the TowserK and rightfully so it’s a great knife honestly.

Excellent EDC
