Kizer Harpoon Fixed Blade Knife, D2 Blade with Black Micarta Handle Hunting Knife, EDC Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath, Hiking Camping Knife 1040A1

Great knife. Very good looking. Blade came shaving sharp, and is easy to keep a consistent edge on. Perfect size for reasonable daily use. Light weight, and the sheath is the perfect size and formfactor to carry in the pocket or on the belt for daily carry. When carrying a fixed blade knife for daily use, I appendix carry on the belt or to the waistband of my pants. Keep this in mind if you're a big guy like me. The thumb ridge on the sheath can dig into your stomach depending on belt placement. I had to sand the edges and round them out to make it more comfortable. But that's a me problem, not a product problem.

I bought the AEB-L version with light micarta scales, and its a near perfect EDC knife. The handle is just long enough for a full grip and the blade is short enough to do reasonable EDC work while being concealable. Its very slicey.I prefer horizontal carry on the belt and will replace the large belt clip with soft loops ($13) here https://www.amazon.com/HolsterBuilder-IWB-Soft-Belt-Loops/dp/B07BLMJKYH?th=1 .For those who like to pocket carry I can't recommend the "TONIFE Pocket Clip for Kydex Sheath" highly enough. It fits perfectly and holds the sheath tightly onto your pants pocket. Its ($8.49) here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D76823BX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 .There's no way you are going to find a better sized blade that's easy to carry either on the belt or in your pocket with premium steel options for fifty bucks. You can buy this knife in CPM 3V or AEB-L with micarta scales, its excellent fitting kydex sheath and belt clip + soft loops +the pocket clip and you still haven't spent $72 bucks.By this before Kizer comes to its senses and raises the price by $25.

This review is for the Sandalwood Handled, Nitro V, full size Harpoon. This is a fantastic knife, and came wicked sharp right out of the box. The blade length is just right, and is very slicey. The spine is a nice and sharp 90 degrees which is great for striking ferrocerium rods. the sandalwood handle is beautiful and is just big enough for my 2xl glove sized hands (Though I may add a lanyard for a bit extra purchase). The knife when sheathed can be pocket carried if you have pants with larger pockets such as BDUs, but might be a bit big for smaller pockets and tighter pants. Also in regard to pocket carry, the thumb ramp on the sheath can be used to deploy the knife if used against the side of the pocket (may take a little practice.). This is very likely to become my daily EDC fixed blade. Over all, this is a very nice knife and cannot be beat for the price (50$ as of 5-6-2025)

It's a nice knife. So my experience is as follows. I bought the 3v micarta variant. I have large hands and I can get a full 4 finger grip. Not the most ergonomic handle, I would've like to seen them round the end of handle rather then that flat part as it does affect comfortably. I received my first variant that the sheath rivet was off and caused the knife to be loose. I returned it because I like the sharpness and quality overall but that was a manufacturing defect. Then Amazon sends a replacement in their famous plastic bubble wrap packaging. Anways the knife was loose and caused the plastic casing to go through the tip during shipping. Surprisingly I inspected it and the edge was not damaged. (3v is a great tough steel.) Overall the rivets are actually properly placed. But like others the quality control could be better. And I think it's a nice knife for the price. It's a small knife and I use it as a neck knife. Small imperfections can be overlooked and this is a great knife. Overall I am grateful and satisfied with it. I could recommend it. More than likely won't buy anymore knives from Kizer however though.

The media could not be loaded. Slim, sleek, and slicey. Great harpoon shape with a full flat grind. Harpoon style clip point with a slight swedge. Very sharp and tough 3V blade steel. Could make a great small skinner. Love the stone washed finish. Micarta handle feels and handles great in a lot of different grips. The handle screws had some bits on them when first arrived, used fine sandpaper to slightly buff them. Comes with a sheath and clip for belt carry. Could be a great neck knife, but fits in pocket nicely without belt clip.
