The EDC knife world has never been broader or more robust than it is today. Pocketable cutting tool options number in the hundreds of thousands, and more are being made daily.
But where does the knifemaking industry go from here? What’s the next frontier to cross and conquer? Kizer’s Silverwing — inspired by Blade Runner — might hold the answer. And if so, the future looks bright.
Devilish details
What’s especially alluring about the Silverwing is its handle scales. While they’re crafted from titanium — an exceptional material, albeit not particularly special — the real star is their precision craftsmanship.
Each pair of scales takes over four hours apiece to meticulously CNC machine. The result is an absolutely gorgeous, futuristic design marked by multiple types of jimping, texture, contours and more.
Plus, if you take a gander at the center of the handle, those three slots have a see-through milled mesh — which allows you to peer straight through the knife — that must have been exceptionally difficult to manage.
