Kizer Cabox Fixed Blade Knife, 3.36" D2 Steel Fixed Blade Hunting Knife G10 Handle with Sheath, Survival Camping Knives 1048A3

I'm larger at 6'4" and I like to leave reviews for bigger people to read. That's the kind of review I look for when buying.The knife is very good but imperfect like every other knife. Here are my Pros & Cons:Pros:1) Solid and feels like good quality. Steel looks and feels like D2.2) Great pocket carry size for me.3) Thumb release on sheath is firm and consistent.4) This micarta feels great, just hope it's durable long-term. 🙏5) Balance is great, exactly at the index finger location.Cons:1) Jimping is short and shallow. A sharper and more significant length would be a +.2) The hold angle feels great for whittling. When arm is extended for slashes, the angle pitches back a little more than Id like, this will possibly require training and to adjust slash travel length if you want to use this for CCW.3) A small peeve, it arrives in a cellophane bag and the blade is smudgy and dirty with very, very minor scratches/defects in the stone wash. Go black or high polished steel Kizer, your stone wash stinks.

I was skeptical initially with the price, however the craftsmanship is spot on. The Kydex sheath has great retention. The knife came sharp. Ergonomics are good however I understand that’s hit or miss for people when it comes to knives that have a ring on them. This makes for a great every day carry tool

I really like this knife for its design profile with the finger ring on the handle. The ring isn’t placed ergonomically so you can have a finger through it and hold it fully..but I submit this is real life and not an episode of Naruto so I still like the finger ring for the fact it is there for a quick draw from the sheath. The knife quality is great in both the handle and the steel used and definately worth the money. My only real critique of something I didn’t like was the sheath that it came with is almost built like it doesn’t know what it is for. The leather straps wrap around it and the snaps aren’t really strong enough to hold through force needed to pull the knife out quickly if it was looped on a belt.

Great steel,edge bevel and grind. Useful size(small enough to have on you but big enough for a wide range of tasks when a blade is needed).Scabbard and attachment is decent. Suitable for horizontal carrying at small of back on belt with hilt pointing in either direction.I favor kerambit type knives with the finger ring as an easy way to access, draw and deploy in either reverse/outboard or saber grips.Would like one made with either a slightly more grippy texture to the smallest or possibly fattened up a wee bit or with index points for the fingers but this is more of a thing that using regularly/practice with could make a moot point of.Also, consider offering a bit of a drop in the angle from the hilt to the blade tip....this would aid a bit in pulling/draw cuts without having to change the blade shape which I actually like a lot.Overall I like it very much

It’s comes out the box super sharp. Looks great and feels great in the hand. It’s scout carry only which can be a little bulky the way it fits when wearing scout. Due to the ring on the handle. Snags on my shirt from time to time. But I’m giving it 5 stars due to the quality and look and feel. The scout carry bulkiness is just a minor gripe. Nothing to warrant less a star. Also it has a nice kydex sheath and overall a great knife for self defense or even all purpose and full tang. So you can use it outdoors also. 5 stars

This is a very nice knife, you can just feel it when it’s in your hand, quality build

For the money spent this is by far the best edc fixed blade I have ever used very durable and when blade is sent I didn’t even have to put it through a sharpener before using came ready to go very pleased with this knife

This is the second Kizer Fixed Blade I've ordered from Amazon. The first was the Kizer Baby Fixed Blade, and now this one. Both are EXCELLENT knives that will find their way into your EDC with ease. Good blades, very sturdy construction and sharp right out of the box. Fix my large hands well, conceals easily, snaps into its molded Kydex sheaths securely ... what more can I say. Unless, I start speaking about the carry method.This knife was marketed as a "Scout Carry" which is something I've wanted for a while. Knife arrived and looked very promising, until I tried to thread a belt thru it. The loops on the sheath are so small they will not accept a 1.5 inch belt. In fact, they will "barely" accept a .75 inch belt. Not only this, but the straps are secured with snaps. They pop open very easily so trying to carry it Scout style would be a fool's mission at best.I found the previously mentioned Baby Kizer to have the same issue. Great knife, great sheath, crappy belt clip. On the Baby Kizer I removed the junk clip that it came with and ordered a ESEE - 3 Clip Plate that mounted perfectly on it. Made carrying it on the belt or as a clipped pocket carry very nice. So, I did the same with this knife and removed the default hardware. Replaced that with an UlTI-Clip for pocket carry. Works beautifully. Very comfortable and disappears into the pocket nicely.So ..... the knives are worth every penny. You'll love them. But, be prepared to replace the mounting hardware on the Kydex Sheath. Otherwise this would have been a five start rating. But three is as far as I can go having to immediately redo the mounting system right out of the box.
