View all the Kizer May 2026 Releases

The Kizer Nightjar Fixed Blade Knife (Model 1114A3) is a compact and highly versatile neck or pocket fixed blade designed for lightweight everyday carry, precision cutting, and fast deployment. Created by Vincent Rizzo, this model focuses on portability, control, and practical utility in a streamlined design that remains easy to carry without sacrificing performance.

At its core is a satin-finished Japanese Aichi AUS-10 steel blade measuring approximately 2.94″. Known for its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, AUS-10 delivers reliable cutting performance for daily tasks. The sheepsfoot blade shape with a flat grind provides maximum slicing control and safety, making it ideal for detailed work, package opening, and general utility cutting.

The handle is crafted from Vortex Pattern Micarta, offering a secure, textured grip with a distinctive visual finish. Its ergonomic design supports confident handling despite the compact size, while the oversized finger hole enhances grip stability and allows for fast, intuitive deployment. Paired with a secure Kydex sheath, the Nightjar ensures safe carry and quick access whether used as a neck knife or pocket carry option. With an overall length of 5.74″ and a weight of just 2.99 oz, it is designed for minimal carry footprint and maximum usability.
