KizerMini Harpoon Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath, 3V Blade Hunting Knife with Micarta Handle, Camping Fixed Blade Small EDC Knives for Hiking, Survival 1040SM1

I’ve got the aeb-l + micarta version! really nice edc knife. Without clip, so it’s super compact and lightweight - i just carry it in my pocket. Out of curiosity, I tried breaking down some meat at home - for such a small knife, it actually did great!Takes a bit of getting used to the choil area (well, there’s technically no choil, but you know - that spot under the heel).I chamfered it a bit on mine so i don’t nick my finger, and now it feels perfect. the shape is super comfy too - great for quick cuts while on the go.Not amazing for wood carving, but honestly, after using a mora or mora wood carving knife, pretty much any compact folder feels meh in that department. still, for daily tasks it’s awesome.Im a big fan of 14c28n, so i went with aeb-l as the closest match - even though everyone seems to recommend 3v.

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)

One of the best EDC knives I’ve seen. Very easy to use even though it is small. Very sharp and hold an edge well.If you’re looking to replace a folding knife with a fixed blade knife, this is a fantastic option.

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.

I really thought that I would like this knife, but after actually buying it, holding it, seeing it in person....I like it more than I thought I would. I think I'm glad I got the full sized one.

After receiving this today I felt compelled to write a review. I’ve been collecting knives for many years now. Lately I’m on a fixed blade kick. Scout carry more specifically. Let me tell you…. The edge geometry of this knife straight out the box rivals only that of microtech in my experience…. I recently picked up a ZT0004 at 5x the cost of this and the edge isn’t even close to this Kizer. I don’t know how they do it or why it’s so hard for other big names to do it… looked at a Benchmade at the store the other day…. The edge geometry was awful….. like Michael J Fox works there and is in charge of sharpening prior to packaging. For the money, and the options available mixer is the way to go…. Do yourself a favor. If you are looking for a good edc fixed blade, at least check this one out first…. Worth every cent….!!!

Wanted to love it but it's too small to use for real work. Would make a great skinning knife but too small for utility work. I use my knives at work cutting heavy road fabric mostly but also anything else that needs cut. This knife failed miserably at that task just because the blade was too short and curved to stay in the cut. I thought about getting the full size but I'm not interested in painted d2 or g-10. If they had a full size in 3v with micarta I'd have bought it all ready. This is my second kizer and the quality was just as spot on as the 1st, knife and sheath both perfect. Tec lock is undesirable but easily changed. Depends on what you need it for if it will work for you.

Nice kydex sheath, great steel, great edge and perfect finish! Well worth the money small size but bigger is not always better would recommend
