@Oneoneone111One it's heavy but goes through everything you cut. Love 3v and especially on this big sheepdog. Just keep it oiled and it will perform well 👌 😌 for a good while.
Very happy with my Kizers! T1, Mini Shoal, Clutch, Genie CF, Wanderer, Minitherium, Megatherium, M_Stealth, Yorkie, Deviant and multiple Sheepdogs. All great designs, great materials, great quality and great prices!
I have the Kaiser Militaw. It is so amazingly smooth. And it’s the base version. I bought a mini version for my son as a gift in his stocking for this Christmas. I cannot say enough good things about this knife. Everyone I know who has handled it absolutely loves it.
Nice that you present this Kizer list. Some of my favourite knives are from Kizer: Militaw, Mini Grouper, Feist, Mystic, Sheepdog, Theta etc. Thanks man, for reminding the community of this company. 😊
Yes. Agreed. The Militaw made me a Kizer fan. Ti, CF, fidget factor, butter action, and that polished DLC blade - freakin fantastic! My current favorite carry - over many far more expensive ones.
I have almost every Kizer knife including the new mini momo christmas(love it!). The ones I tend to grab out the door is Militaw, Coniferous, and Hic Cup. Mini momo really rocks!
Clutch-lock sheepdog is one of my favorite knives I own. Phenomenal knife. I used to have the titanium framework sheepdog and that was also a great knife
I'm a Kizer guy, most of my collection consists of Kizers and my top 5, in no particular order, are: - Drop Bear (got the LC200N/Snowflake Gradient Titanium & S35VN/"Medusa" Fat Carbon ones) - Drop Bear is not a knife, it's an institution. - Task (got the Nitro-V/Spicy Red G10 one) - It is a quintessential EDC knife in my book, perfect geometry and size, amazing ergos and action, pleasing looks... - Sheepdog Mini (got 154cm/Richlite w/button lock & 154cm/black alu ones) - the best 5th pocket knife ever and I'm not taking no for an answer. - Mad Tanto (got stonewashed 154cm/green-ish micarta one) - old versions got a lot of bad rap, but, boy, is mine amazing or what, it has perfect ergos, oozes attitude and is freakishly sharp. - Mini Grouper (got the all black Nitro-V/CF-layered G10 one) - what a doozy of a knife, perfect mix of great design, wonderful mechanics, solid lockup and fidget fun.
If I could only keep one Kizer in my collection, it would be the Hawk. The feel and texture and design of that handle is unique and feels better in hand than anything else I’ve held at its price point.
Kizer makers some great knives in always drawn to throw in the pocket. The drop bear in LC200N gets heavy use from me. And I love the militaw, it feels traditional with just the right amount of new jazz to it. Had a momo in my cart on Amazon for a good chunk of the year. Maybe I’ll treat myself one more time for Xmas…
Agree on your take on the Militaw(s). I think I have 3 of them, then 2 mini’s. What bums me out (at least by looking on their website), is that Kizer seems to be discontinuing a lot of Sheepdog variants. I’m glad I got into Kizer when I did, because I have a lot of Sheepdogs in my collection, including the model you showcased here. They’re all great. I’ve been wanting Kizer to make an ultra premium Sheepdog with their shiny DLC for quite some time, with minimal billboarding like they did on the M390 Militaws. They released their DLC Drop Bear (not shiny) around the same time they released their black clutch lock Sheepdog, but it was just PVD black, not DLC. C’mon Kizer!
I asked customer service this question and they said they aren't making more. Haven't checked recently, but it was showing high stock for non-US customers. If you really want it, there are package forwarding services in places like Canada and EU that will let you use their local address to purchase a product that is unavailable to US customers and they'll ship it to you for a fee.
Kizer is underrated. Love my DLC Militaw, have a matching Momo in DLC and purple haze fat carbon. Both great knives. Also have a tanto carbon fiber Beglieter that is great too. Might have to pick up a Brat at some point.
I like the varatas over the militaw. Both are great tho. People sleep on the Mini Roach!! Great blade shape, great ergonomics, one of my favorites for sure. Wish they had a high end/premium version of it!
Went to eknives in person yesterday and let them know I heard about them from you. Also got gas station knife fever and picked up a half dress mini ultimatum.
You ain't missing much on Kizer 4v, I had 3 knives in it and along with the 10v and they tried to do was done pretty rough. They knew it, that's why they stopped working with it. The 3v is acceptable but the 4v and 10v was not done well at all.
Hahaha yeah of course Kizer has an entire top 10 list. I got 2! Mini militaw and momo! Jungle wear and purple haze versions! Got my cousin a justice, Fallout vault 33 version.
Manganas steel Caimno, Ti varitas October, beyond, sparrow, militaw, bulldog, escort, towser k, hic up, kolbod 2.0, and bugi. I want the huntsman for $133 and the cormorant in s35vn for $37 is crazy value
I've got the Huntsman, and the Oknife Rubato 4. Made by Kizer !! But i also want the Drop bear, in 154cm and alluminum handle ..! ^^ But,,, there is also Vosteed. And there, i absolutly want the new Psyop, elmax steel and micarta handle. And the Marteen. Same thing, 154cm steel and allu handle !! ^^
Im shocked Towser K wasnt higher up the list. I bought the Serape version first. It was probably what got my blood pumping for knives. The action is just perfection compared to everything else I used. The only knife I have as good or perhaps better is my maxace mamba. I liked the towser k so much I bout the premium elmax version on kizer for $110.
The blade on the Momo is too long for the handle and it stabbed me in the palm while putting it back in my pocket. Maybe I just got a lemon but I hate that POS now either way. Blade to handle ratio is definitely suboptimal
Thats weird, none of my 3 momos have that problem, maybe yours is a lemon like you mentioned, the handle is even longer than the blade by a bit. The blade is taller than the handle and the handle is not exaggeratedly thick, that gives it a great look nd at the same time it handles and grips great for a knife of that profile, and the blade is an excellent slicer. I recommend that you contact your vendor and sort it out, ita a genuinely very practical and good looking knife
Kizer left a bad tastes in my mouth with the Kizer TASK. The metal was so soft it took forever to deburr. And once it was it went dull after one single slice on a piece of paper. And that’s sharpening on TSPROF with CBN stones. 🤷♂️

The Momo is my favorite. I got the WMK S45VN/Purple Haze Satin DLC version as an anniversary present and it’s so damn good. Incredible action
I have the Sheepdog with brass scales and 3V steel. It's one of my favorite knives.
That sounds like a great knife!
@@tripsev762 Hi - me too… it’s certainly one of my favourites …the brass and silver look is so sleek…
It's a big boy lol 😆
I love this one
@Oneoneone111One it's heavy but goes through everything you cut. Love 3v and especially on this big sheepdog. Just keep it oiled and it will perform well 👌 😌 for a good while.
Love my Huntsman and Momo. Unique designs in a world of bugout and ultratech designs.
Very happy with my Kizers! T1, Mini Shoal, Clutch, Genie CF, Wanderer, Minitherium, Megatherium, M_Stealth, Yorkie, Deviant and multiple Sheepdogs. All great designs, great materials, great quality and great prices!

I have the Gemini, the Titanium October, and the classic orange Roach. Love all 3.
Always liked the milling work on the October.
Kizer makes some bangers, my Militaw remains one of my favorite knives and hands down my favorite sounding knife even among my 300+.
Have you got the Hawk yet? It's awesome! Best acoustics next to the Factor that I've had.
@ no but I’ll definitely have to check it out now! Oh I just saw a video and it *tings* I need one
The Hawk is the one of my favorite knives of the year. The ergos, detent, action and acoustics are all amazing
Nice that you present this Kizer list. Some of my favourite knives are from Kizer: Militaw, Mini Grouper, Feist, Mystic, Sheepdog, Theta etc. Thanks man, for reminding the community of this company. 😊
Love Kizer and pretty much agree with the list. Although I also love the Mad Tanto, and it was MC's review that convinced me to get it 😂
Ditto!
MC needs the Momo in Purple Haze fat carbon and s45vn DLC coated blade from WMK
I bought two Kizer Brats on your recommendation … so happy I did…they are soo good.
Yes. Agreed. The Militaw made me a Kizer fan. Ti, CF, fidget factor, butter action, and that polished DLC blade - freakin fantastic! My current favorite carry - over many far more expensive ones.
Hawk needs to be on this list..... LOVE the HAWK.
I have almost every Kizer knife including the new mini momo christmas(love it!). The ones I tend to grab out the door is Militaw, Coniferous, and Hic Cup. Mini momo really rocks!
You're right. The mini momo is awesome! I've been thinking about getting the full sized after enjoying the mini so much
Momo with GTC style flipper would rock the world! ( Like on GTC Solid)
IN!
Clutch-lock sheepdog is one of my favorite knives I own. Phenomenal knife. I used to have the titanium framework sheepdog and that was also a great knife
I'm a Kizer guy, most of my collection consists of Kizers and my top 5, in no particular order, are:

- Task (got the Nitro-V/Spicy Red G10 one) - It is a quintessential EDC knife in my book, perfect geometry and size, amazing ergos and action, pleasing looks...
- Sheepdog Mini (got 154cm/Richlite w/button lock & 154cm/black alu ones) - the best 5th pocket knife ever and I'm not taking no for an answer.
- Mad Tanto (got stonewashed 154cm/green-ish micarta one) - old versions got a lot of bad rap, but, boy, is mine amazing or what, it has perfect ergos, oozes attitude and is freakishly sharp.
- Mini Grouper (got the all black Nitro-V/CF-layered G10 one) - what a doozy of a knife, perfect mix of great design, wonderful mechanics, solid lockup and fidget fun.
The Hawk and special limited edition Megatherium are awesome
Love the Cormorant. Fits my hands perfectly. Carry it often.
Your weekend uploads are always super interesting and some of my favorites. Love the videos MC!
got kershaw in the description
Ty fixed
Im really not understanding the Militaw hipe. It seems incredibly underwhelming compared to other models
If I could only keep one Kizer in my collection, it would be the Hawk. The feel and texture and design of that handle is unique and feels better in hand than anything else I’ve held at its price point.
I love this. Please do a series on the different manufacturers. Pretty Please 🙏
Agreed!
The kizer coniferous v is one my top 3 kizers and i think its criminally underrated
Just got the begleiter xl and its another one i just love to carry and play with. Im realizing slowly that i love kizer knives.... a lot. Lol
Great list Kizer makes such awesome knives
Love Kizer … definitely picking one up in the new year.
Kizer makers some great knives in always drawn to throw in the pocket. The drop bear in LC200N gets heavy use from me. And I love the militaw, it feels traditional with just the right amount of new jazz to it. Had a momo in my cart on Amazon for a good chunk of the year. Maybe I’ll treat myself one more time for Xmas…
I love the kobold 2.0 in 4v. Drop bear is a given, and the harpoon and smolt are great as well
Agree on your take on the Militaw(s). I think I have 3 of them, then 2 mini’s.
What bums me out (at least by looking on their website), is that Kizer seems to be discontinuing a lot of Sheepdog variants. I’m glad I got into Kizer when I did, because I have a lot of Sheepdogs in my collection, including the model you showcased here. They’re all great.

My top 3 kizer
1. Kobold 2
2. Sheepdog
3. Domin (wharncliffe) great video man 👍
Got my first Kizer last week.
The DLC S45VN Momo with Purple Haze Fat Carbon Fiber.
It's Badass.
I own the Cormorant with the "PlayStation" cutouts, and I own the Gemini with button lock and 3V steel.
WHOA! Integral flipper button lock! Im SO on it!
Is the timascus Militaw going to be available again sometime? Missed the drop :(
I asked customer service this question and they said they aren't making more. Haven't checked recently, but it was showing high stock for non-US customers. If you really want it, there are package forwarding services in places like Canada and EU that will let you use their local address to purchase a product that is unavailable to US customers and they'll ship it to you for a fee.
@ thanks for the heads up! I think I may have to do that now…
My mini Sheepdog S35vn with Raffir scales is hands down my favourite everyday pocket knife the action is ridiculous and it holds a very decent edge
I just bought the Black Titanium Sheepdog XL and I really like it so far
I agree with most of the list. My list adds in the Mystic.
I have 2 of the Kizer October in Titanium & Wow such a Great Knife & especially for the price WOW
I have the Kunwu S- Tao 2 and that thing is beautiful, carry it with me everywhere. Super fidgety actions
The October is my favorite, just tossing it out there.
They are missing out, milled 3d titanium handle with 20cv for under 100.
Nice guy, Assassin, Bratt, Drop bear ... There is a lot ... ^^
Could you maybe make a list for vosteed as well?
The channel card slap was aggressive
Kizer is underrated. Love my DLC Militaw, have a matching Momo in DLC and purple haze fat carbon. Both great knives. Also have a tanto carbon fiber Beglieter that is great too. Might have to pick up a Brat at some point.
I like the varatas over the militaw. Both are great tho. People sleep on the Mini Roach!! Great blade shape, great ergonomics, one of my favorites for sure. Wish they had a high end/premium version of it!
Just got the smock in rex 45 and my pm3 in 15v Christmas/ bday gifts. 🙌
Went to eknives in person yesterday and let them know I heard about them from you. Also got gas station knife fever and picked up a half dress mini ultimatum.
For me the Nomad from Kizer clearly belongs in the top 10.
Love me some Kizer!! I’ve more Kizer in my collection than any other one brand. Drop Bear times two 🥰
I only have a couple but Kobold 2 in 4V is big so I like it ALOT
A friend has a Gemini with a button lock. CPM-4V. He won't give it up either. Lol
It's a KnifeCenter exclusive. I got it too. Go n see if you can!
You ain't missing much on Kizer 4v, I had 3 knives in it and along with the 10v and they tried to do was done pretty rough. They knew it, that's why they stopped working with it. The 3v is acceptable but the 4v and 10v was not done well at all.
Good to know. Thanks.
He's not wrong, Kizer has made a lot of good knives. It seems like they are pretty much all kinda good.. The towserK is a great model great geometry!
My favorite Chinese knife brand
Yeah Huntsman for uniqueness. I'd have Grazioso, Phoenix, and DOCKtober in my line up. Happy holidays. Cheers. 👍💜👍
I just ordered the discontinued Odin for the heck of it.
Kizer is king. Kizer is life
What would you consider the best Titanium integral for the money?
Hahaha yeah of course Kizer has an entire top 10 list. I got 2! Mini militaw and momo! Jungle wear and purple haze versions! Got my cousin a justice, Fallout vault 33 version.
Got 'em all except for the Brat.
I still carry my Gemini all the time.
No roach or grouper?
i have a sheepdog XL flipper with green G10 and i love it but its a little bit to big for EDC! 😅
Manganas steel Caimno, Ti varitas October, beyond, sparrow, militaw, bulldog, escort, towser k, hic up, kolbod 2.0, and bugi. I want the huntsman for $133 and the cormorant in s35vn for $37 is crazy value
Thanks
I've got the Huntsman, and the Oknife Rubato 4. Made by Kizer !! But i also want the Drop bear, in 154cm and alluminum handle ..! ^^
But,,, there is also Vosteed. And there, i absolutly want the new Psyop, elmax steel and micarta handle. And the Marteen. Same thing, 154cm steel and allu handle !! ^^
How about top 10 Reates or Reate manufactured knives?
10 on the slam
Im shocked Towser K wasnt higher up the list. I bought the Serape version first. It was probably what got my blood pumping for knives. The action is just perfection compared to everything else I used. The only knife I have as good or perhaps better is my maxace mamba. I liked the towser k so much I bout the premium elmax version on kizer for $110.
I'm poor so this is probably a weak grail knife for me. lol But I really want a Kizer Soze.
MC, have you or anyone in the comments ever had any experience with the kizer basalt? I know it's been around for awhile now. Been curious about it.
They do make great stuff, sadly their greatest is no longer made, and wasn't really explored as far as variations . The original roach
I wanted the towser k in elmax.
They have a new dlc model about to drop the Kizer feweed and it looks amazing.
Did you say smaller Momo? I can't wait! I'll be first in line! I love the Momo, but EDCing a 9" knife is not practical (for me).
Purple haze militaw is still the top dog
Huntsman reminds me of the horse penis knife.
The Brat is good but the best Kizer knife ever, by far, is the Mjølnir.
I have 5 out of ten, not bad😂
What about Kizer T1 😁
Agreed!
I thought Invictus would have made it it was my first Kizer so i'm probably biased
Momo in DLC now…
You have not seen the white mountain knives exclusive momo. S45vn, fat carbon purple, with the shiny DLC. The better militaw
My mini militaw is way cooler than I expected it to be.
The best...Titanium Intrepid
The blade on the Momo is too long for the handle and it stabbed me in the palm while putting it back in my pocket. Maybe I just got a lemon but I hate that POS now either way. Blade to handle ratio is definitely suboptimal
Thats weird, none of my 3 momos have that problem, maybe yours is a lemon like you mentioned, the handle is even longer than the blade by a bit.

You people are crazy! The Corto is by far the best Kizer.
Septic tank, lol!
Tnx but no tnx i would rather have 5 Spydercos, Microtechs or ZT-s than 50 Kizers… And I am from Europe…
gotta stop punching people with braces...
Kizer left a bad tastes in my mouth with the Kizer TASK. The metal was so soft it took forever to deburr. And once it was it went dull after one single slice on a piece of paper. And that’s sharpening on TSPROF with CBN stones. 🤷♂️
First 🔥
