Kizer Mini Sheepdog Knife CPM 4V
The Vanguard Mini C01C folding knife is an ideal-sized EDC folder that gives you the beefiness of a Sheepdog Knife in a more compact package. The blade is made from CPM-4V tool steel with a wide cleaver-style shape perfect for a variety of utility tasks. The bearing pivot system allows for smooth blade opening, as with all Kizer knives, and the flipper tab acts as a guard while open. The red Richlite handle is a wonder of ergonomics, it really contours to each and every curve of the hand with the milled lines that are a signature of the design. It is an excellent knife built with a quality anyone can appreciate and a real workhorse EDC piece with which few can compete. This knife is awesome and an incredible value with this blade steel.
Vanguard Series
The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as VG10 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.
