I’d like to pickup the Sparrow and Towser S next. Kizer has seriously been so rock steady for years man! It’s always an easy suggestion. I’d confidently say that if a newcomer stuck with Kizer, Kubey, Civivi and Sencut you’d not only be totally satisfied with your collection,,,you would have an absolute BANGER collection!! And literally models for DAAAAAYS!!

@GBall_Vision

Agreed on all your points. I want a sparrow as well. I did that a long time, Civivi then Kubey then Kizer and rotated. That's why I have 20+ of each company 😂 they usually all are fantastic too. 99% of them. These days if you didn't spend more than 100-150 you would have an awesome collection

Agreed, the micarta on kizers is next level.

Top of the line stuff bro

The Kizer Kobold 2.0 is probably my favorite one ever. Has the best front flipper action I’ve ever experienced. Useful blade shape and good ergonomics:

The Kobold has some of the smoothest and most drop shut action. Thing is a guillotine. And the micarta and ergos on it is so freaking good.

@@KnifeFanatic I love love the kobold 2. I have a few videos raving about it - I have the aluminum 3v one and it's amazing. I probably could've and should've put that on there in place of something for sure

​@GBall_Vision Nice, I'd like to get an aluminum Kobold. Speaking of aluminum, Kizer nails the finish on the aluminum. It has kind of like a matte finish, which I freaking love, feels very nice. 🤙🏽

Great list! The Escort is my favorite Kizer as well! I’ve got many on the list but think you missed a couple. I would include the XL Original in Micarta, the XL Begleiter, and the Towser S. Would like to check out the Kobold. Keep up the vids man👍

I've got the XL Begleiter, and it was my first Kizer. I was impressed by the fit & finish, the fine micarta scales, button lock action, and blade quality. It really sold the company to me.

The kobold was going to be a runner up. I have the 4v it's amazing. But when we're talking about 10 only it's tough. Which ones would you take out for those 2? I have the original and several begleiter including the XL. All those button locks fail pretty easy which is why I left them off. Otherwise I would've probably put 1 on. I don't own an S or that would've probably made it on but the S and the K are very similar same knife slightly different blade

This is a hard list to make! I love my Kizers, and would be hard to pick number 1 and would be between my Damned Designs Mad Tanto (black micarta and black blade) or my Toxic Storm 20CV Drop Bear. There is so many Kizers on my wishlist, but I think I would like to get the Nebula Clutch Lock Sheepdog or the Dogfish next. Thanks Greg!

Knowing how you like big knives, I'm kinda surprised you listed the mini Roach and not the full size. I love both of them, but wish the mini had the contoured micarta like my full size. Really love the micarta T1 as well. Love, love, love Kizer's micarta! Got a micarta Lieb during the Black Friday sale and really like that knife too. Also got an Escort and Original in Richlite. Love the Escort, but the Original not so much. It's the only Kizer I've ever been disappointed with. ✌️

I don't have the T1 but I got Invictus and I think that's good enough for me, but you got it's brother, Mad Tanto. Might get me the T1 version one day. I've got original Towser K, liked it so got the Copper also. Liked it and ordered my first order from WMK and got the frag ti, mini button-lock version. That one disappointed me because it does not got the action of the original liner locks. I have never seen any youtuber talk about that. The Mystic had not gotten in your hands jet there.

@GBall_Vision

So you can make a Civivi clip work. Which means a CJRB will work. But remember those are both milled clips so it's going to poke out of the pocket more than it does with the regular clip, another option might be TRM and their deep carry titanium rollover clip, I have some videos with my escort from Kizer and that clip is on that knife and I show it in this video

@@GBall_Vision Oh man! My XL has never failed. That's so sad. I have only had it close on me twice and it was my fault because I was holding it oddly when I hit the button. Funny enough, I was talking to Mike Emler on the phone when it happened. I've had it apart several times and never had a failure. I just put a titanium clip on it so I could start carrying it again. The steel clip just had no retention anymore and I was afraid to carry it in my back pocket. Seriously though, their aftermarket titanium clips are great. Feels better in hand too. I'm not sure. There's a few I've not handled.

THE BUGAI!!! Dude I was literally WAITING for that to show up,,,, like “he better say it!” Hahaha. It’s such a good knife!! And totally agree, an XL would be awesome IF they leave the design EXACTLY as is….literally just stretch it out an inch OAL,,,,please don’t add a half-ass finger choil!!

That one has always been on the fence for me-- no bad reasons, just always in the back of my mind and on the edge of getting clicked into my Amazon cart. I think if it were just a tad larger and came in a button lock format, I would've pulled the trigger by now.

I test mine in the unboxing of the KuH. It's solid as far as this one is concerned. I def wouldn't of put it on the list if it failed. That's why I kept some others off, begleiter XL, original. I am starting to think it could be caused by coatings, oils tolerances, geometry. I have a knife that I'm going to dig into coated liner and blade. It fails. I want to see if removing the coating fixes it. Unless we see a ton of the same design failing I think it's individual case by case,
