Product Description

The Kizer Rattler is so named due to its textured titanium handle. The scales are milled with a snakeskin texture, just like the venomous snake that lends the knife its moniker Read More

I just got mine today. First impressions are good, the box it comes in is pretty cool. It is very sharp out of the box, flipping is solid, tight lockup. There is one issue though. There is a scratch on the blade, deep enough to feel with a fingernail. You can see it in the picture, below and to the left of the K in Kizer, angled towards the choil. Kind of disappointing on a $100 knife. If drop is going to sell 2nds, cool, just let us know. I have no problem buying 2nds or refurbs, I just want to know first. Did anyone else have any issues with theirs?

Interesting enough, I also had a deep scratch on my Kane I received from here. Right above the pivot. It was there right out of the box.

What the hell? No where in the description did it say there was a limited number of pieces on this one, and it ends 4 days early? @kyleemj - are you guys no longer advertising when a drop has a limited number available??

Only 50 pieces for this drop, and sold out within 24 hours instead of the expected 4 day limit?! Lucky I didn't hesitate too long. My lingering concern is ergonomics at the index finger- that scallop looks child-sized compared to the rest of the knife. How's Kizer's action and quality control and warranty service on models of this era? Do the screws tend to strip?

PumpIronthe clip on my ki401 is absolute trash.... horrible clip placement options, all are pocket shredders(clip resting on screw heads of lock) and car paint destroyer (due to the clip protruding).... then the clip broke.... kizer makes good knives but damn horrible clip designs... kinda makes it a deal breaker for me... no aftermarket clip makers yet edit- after scrolling and seeing the clip on this model looks like they cloned spdyerco now....so yeah I'd buy one

Thanks for experimenting & disclosing your methods. It must have been your youtube video that I found so helpful.

PumpIronNah, not my YouTube. I just gathered info found on websites and in videos and got it all together in one place for the other MD members who wanted to talk about it. Nothing revolutionary there...yet ;) Just a convenient place to chat and share and keep it all together

Currently the kizer megatherium Ti/CF is on sale at white mountain knives for $129.99 which I think is a better deal than this.

AdamsgYup I noticed that as well. Good that a couple others were able to get it at the sale price. Now for the long wait till it gets here in Canada.

I take it this is the plain gray titanium version on the scales. Kizer also offered one in a light green ano.

Ltk review measured blade stock at .126 and actual weigh coming in less than the massdrop description at 4.2 ounces for anyone wondering and the scales are .45 thick and contoured.

Can we get this model color anodized at this $99 price point in this drop or a later one? If so I am sold! I love my lancer2, but this improves upon it with thinner stock, longer cutting edge, & no finger choil. Recurves make wonderful cutters, and they’re really not hard to learn to sharpen with $5 ceramic rod, a sharpmaker, narrow stones, etc.

I'd really appreciate pictures showing the lock bar and the pocket clip.

Nice looking piece at a great price! Anyone know if its running bearings? I couldnt find any specs on handle thickness or blade stock either online? Im thinking of grabbing one. Anybody own one or know?

Yeah they do have a few S35VN models with washers, but as you noted they tend to be old models that were released during Kizer's adolescent period. The Corto, GTi, and Mistral are the ones I have with washers, and they are no question some of my favorite knives. I'm easy though, I see a design I like, I see build quality that I like, and materials that are good for the price, and I crush hard.

OmniseedSame here. I gravitate towards good designs as well as look for certain specs that fit my personal requirements otherwise I'd be buying every knife on the market LOL. The 2 models i refered to were some of my first ti framelocks and dont even have names, are tip down rh Carry only, as well as quite a few years old. While they are nice the stuff Kizer puts out now are definitely improvements. The rattler fits my requirements and looks to be a good design so i look forward to recieving it.

ok thanks i just got my rattler to day from blade hq and it seem to have the same problem as yours. even the edge has a really rough edge to it. it is not very well sharpened like my kizer sovereign which cost half the money and blade is twice as sharp and nice as my rattler. thinking of sending it back but may just sharpen it myself to a razor.
