Description
The Vanguard Begleiter XL folder byKizerCutlery is a slender, yet tactical everyday carry piece that we feel brings much more to the table than its price point would suggest. Different from the other Begleiters, the uniquebutton lockallows for safer handling when closing the blade on this oversized design. The ball bearing pivot allows for smooth blade opening, as with allKizerknives, and the action is quick, snappy and authoritative. The dual thumb studs provide ample purchase and there is a large lanyard slot that will easily house 550 paracord. The handle has a slim profile for easy carry, is extremely ergonomic, and is a lot of fun to fondle. It features a reversible spring pocket clip, stainless steel liners and is sure to become an everyday carry favorite in no time since it's priced well below its design and quality levels.
Vanguard Series
The Vanguard Series brings excellent value to high-quality designs. Since the start of Kizer Cutlery, they have focused on the high end of the knife market with their impeccable quality and premium materials. This has earned them a place in the hearts of their fans. To increase the accessibility of Kizer brand products, they took the designs of the Bladesmith and Prime Series, and while keeping the quality at the same high level, re-forged them using materials that bring extra value for the money spent. Kizer uses only materials that have stellar performance, such as N690 for the blades and G10 or stainless steel for the handles. This way, Kizer products are available at all budget levels but still maintain that incredible quality of construction.
Tools share a common goal and purpose. That purpose is performance, reliable to the end. Kizer brings you the Vanguard Series created with the purpose of distilling the essence of the Bladesmith and Prime Series into tools that excel in being used. This may not be your only knife, but this will be the knife you carry and use every day!
