Kizer Shadow Titanium Framelock w/Stonewash Tanto

Designed by knifemaker Matt Cucchiara, the Shadow Tanto features a 3.5-inch blade made from CPM-S35VN stainless steel, which is known for its toughness and resistance to corrosion. The blade’s aggressive tanto shape makes quick work of piercing tasks, and it’s fine tip can be used for detail work. To deploy it, press one of the dual thumb studs. The handle comprises two thick slabs of gray 6AL4V titanium and a matching backspacer. It pairs well with the stonewashed blade for a uniform aesthetic. Angular in shape, the handle facilitates a forward grip to further enhance the knife’s penetrating power. Clip it to your pocket with the right-handed tip-up pocket clip.

Based in Fresno, California, Matt Cucchiara began making knives in 2003 after years of collecting. Always a fan of large tactical folders, Cucchiara is known for designs that combine thick, beefy construction with his own touch of style. A firm believer in function and dependability, he personally field-tests each of his designs and carries one every day.
