Written by

The Kizer Towser K is a knife that truly embodies the concept of a reliable companion in your everyday carry lineup. The name “Towser,” associated with a loyal dog, hints at the knife’s intended role—steadfast and dependable, ready for whatever task you throw at it.

Blade and Handle Material:
The Towser K features a 3.5-inch cleaver-style blade crafted from 154CM steel, a material that’s well-regarded for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The flat grind enhances its slicing capability, making it versatile for everything from food prep to cutting through tougher materials. The cleaver shape might be unconventional, but it adds to its utility, allowing for precise, powerful cuts.

The handle, made from Polyetherimide (PEI), is where Kizer pushes the envelope. PEI is more than just a durable material; it's a performance plastic used in military and aerospace applications for its high resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear. Initially, I was skeptical about the handle’s smoothness, but the ergonomic contouring won me over. Despite the lack of aggressive texturing, the handle sits comfortably in hand, offering a secure grip even during extended use. The amber hue and semi-transparent nature of the PEI also add a unique aesthetic touch, letting you glimpse the inner workings of the knife.

Deployment and Carrying:
The Towser K shines in its deployment, thanks to dual thumb studs and a double row ball-bearing pivot system that make for a smooth opening. The liner lock feels sturdy, and secures the blade with confidence during use. The deep carry pocket clip is a nice touch—whether you're right- or left-handed, the Towser is designed to sit discreetly in your pocket until you need it.

Personal Reflection:
The Towser K has quickly become one of my go-to knives, not just for its unique materials but for how it performs in the real world situations. The blade holds its edge well, even after heavy use, and the PEI handle, though smooth, provides a secure grip thanks to its well-designed ergonomics. I appreciate the cleaver-style blade for its versatility, and while the lower tip takes some getting used to, it’s proven to be an asset in tasks that require a bit more power. Overall, the Towser K offers a blend of innovation and reliability that will make it standout out in any collection.
