Kizer Azo Vanguard Series Begleiter Knife Natural G 10 3 5 Stonewash 20 CV
Kizer
The Kizer Begleiter gets the Blade HQ Exclusive treatment with a natural G-10 handle and a stonewashed CPM-20CV blade. Features: Begleiter comes from the German language meaning "companion". Designed for those who prefer a slim profile, the Begleiter delivers. The handle is inset from the liners and keeps this knife incredibly lightweight and subtle in the pocket. It has an open-build with two barrel spacers on either side of the elongated lanyard hole. The EDC-ready design includes a reversible tip-up carry clip. A caged ball bearing pivot ensures a smooth and reliable action. The craftsmanship of the Kizer Begleiter is finished off completely by hand for sharpening, quality inspection, and is put to the test. Kizer Cutlery strives to bring the best knives forward while keeping them affordable. Looking for something similar but smaller? We have got you covered. The Kizer Begleiter Folding knife series has regular and mini models with unique handle materials, colors, and blades.
