View all the Kizer May 2026 Releases

The Kizer Nightjar Fixed Blade Knife (Model 1114A1) is a compact and highly capable neck or pocket fixed blade designed for lightweight everyday carry, fast deployment, and controlled cutting performance. Designed by Vincent Rizzo, this model combines modern utility-focused ergonomics with premium materials in a discreet and easy-to-carry format.

At its core is a Japanese Aichi AUS-10 steel blade with a Black PVD Coating and stonewashed finish, measuring approximately 2.94″. AUS-10 steel offers an excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention for dependable everyday performance. The sheepsfoot blade profile paired with a flat grind delivers clean, precise slicing capability while reducing the risk of accidental piercing, making it ideal for package opening, detailed work, and utility cutting.

The handle is crafted from Norplex UltreX™ Micarta, providing a lightweight yet highly secure grip with enhanced durability and texture. Its ergonomic shape ensures stable handling and comfort during prolonged use. The oversized finger hole functions as both a weight-reduction feature and a secure grip point, allowing for quick deployment and confident control when drawing the knife from the Kydex sheath. With a compact 5.74″ overall length and a lightweight 2.95 oz build, the Nightjar 1114A1 is engineered for reliable EDC convenience without unnecessary bulk.
