Great informative video. I found one of these on a black friday sale for $105. Just curious how you like it after a couple of months? Trying to decide if it's worth it or not.
Its a very nice, smallerish knife. Fit, finish, action, materials, all on point. That price for this titanium and elmax version is very good, I'll be asking 125 for mine in a inventory purge sale.
I would, for what it is... it's a great small button lock, excellent materials, fit and finish, grip and action. Moderate small knife self defense capabilities, and the option to try the aluminum s35vn model and save some coin.
There is a screw on the inside of the scales (both sides) after disassembly of knife, remove the screws, and slide the clip into the scale, replace both screws, reassemble knife. I'll add some images in the community tab
@@DiscerningMan Thank you for your attention to my issue. I saw that on the handle of the knife there is a designated place for the left clip. I think you will understand the essence of my question when you try to install the clip on the left.
@warmadik I saw what your referencing and it made sense, so I disassembled to check it for sure... it is NOT a reversible clip. They may provide a left hand clip now or in the future, but the right hand clip is a NO GO. Good catch, thank you.
It's a neat design, but just outside of my 75 dollar limit on China knives. I can't buy premium steel knives from China knowing that I'm getting half ass heat treats in most cases. Now I will say, Kizer does a fairly solid job on Elmax and it cut tests in the range I expect production elmax to finish the test at.
I wasn't aware (not shocking, I'm stupid, ask anybody) which premium knives are doing bad heat treating and what knives do you recommend at the $100 price point?
So there’s one review on Amazon, with a video, and it’s not good 😮 Dude shows it and the button lock just fell out and he has a loose blade swinging around dangerously. I’ve heard from two big reviewers now that Kizer has issues with button locks so.. will be interesting to see how the hyper does longer term.
I'm aware of some pivot screws coming out / getting loose and the scales are coming apart. A great reason to check in a knife and add locktite if necessary. @@lovescamaros1
That's one bad chicken....🗡️😁👍🏽🤘🏽. As always, thanks for everything, !
What a great looking knife and the extra black hardware and the gold, the coin, the case, good stuff!
Pretty nice for the money also at being under 150.
This knife never particularly interested me but the titanium version looks a lot cooler!
The extra anodised hardware is really cool
I am definitely going to have to do the swap at some point.
Awesome knife

@@DiscerningManYeah thanks, Found the aluminium and s35vn for $72 also but want the premium one.
Having flashbacks to taking a Kizer Chili Pepper apart and absolutely ruining the action, took me ages to get it right
Been down that road.
I know it’s early days, I’m looking at getting one, would you recommend it?

@@DiscerningMan Thank you 😊
Wish you had gone with the black and gold when you put it back together.
Kick it up a notch ;-)
It is not entirely clear how you can put the clip on the left side, it does not seem to be symmetrical.

Interesting, What two big reviewers are saying Kizer has problems with their button locks?
the spring seems to have fallen out not the lock itself and its amazon it may have been a return.
