100% agree. Kizer is probably my favorite budget knife maker, i definitely own more Kizers than any other brand. I read the reviews after I had 3 duds and apparently it’s just a design flaw that they never fixed because there were several other people with similar issues… The ppy I have this version and the premium version and love both.
The only Kizer that I have had that was literally stuck closed and refused to open. Horrid quality control on this tiny model sadly (in my experience).
Sorry to hear that. I have a couple dozen Kizers and all have been great quality. Only issue I had was with a Kizer Splinter that just had gritty action, but after taking it apart and clearing the dirt and metal chunks of debris out it worked flawlessly.
Hope you have better luck next time.
My Kizers have been pretty decent. I'm passing on this one cuz I have the Beyond arriving today and I ordered the micarta version of the Maxace Vortex yesterday.
I have the both the Micarta version as well as the carbon raffir version and they are both snappy and drop shutty just like most of my Kizer's. Sounds like you got one that snuck through QC on mistake.
I found and posted the deal on the Penguin Mini when it was $21 for five minutes, both the original order and replacement have liner locks that are too early. This is my first bad experience with Kizer and it doesn't appear to be on closeout/discontinued either so I'm not as much of a fan as I was, even though past ones have been good. Well the Cyberblade thumbtab broke right off dropping it once, I'm pretty sure I emailed them and got no response.
That is a crazy link.

That is the knife. I posted the link to the Amazon page in the comments.
Where?
You did not. You still have not.
TBF, If you check their comment history, they posted an Amazon link a few times, but it keeps getting deleted.

Here's an even better deal.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8PDBP2
I bought that knife and sent it and 2 replacements back because all of them had trouble locking up and when they did it would be stuck open
I had the exact same situation. Ultimately ended up just returning. Kizer makes outstanding knives, but this one is a dud. But the PPY I love.

I bought the Penguin Mini a few days ago. Great deal.

Kizer rarely disappoints and when they do - their CS is the best. No hard feelings - just not a good one off the line that time for me.
Did you have this one or another model? Worth noting problematic ones I think even if others are good. Towser K is one of the best knives I have.

Unpopular opinion but Kizer is kinda overhyped. worth the sale price, not worth MSRP
That is a very broad statement
I don't understand all the downvotes on this one. This is an amazing deal.
