Those who read my reviews know that I appreciate a knife that offers a high degree of utility. While I enjoy a variety of blade styles, my favorites tend to be wharncliffe, sheepsfoot, and cleaver blades. Any blade shape can be useful in different situations, but I find these three to be the best for general-purpose work. Knives with a good amount of belly are excellent for tasks like food prep and skinning, but a straight-edged blade offers better precision, ease of sharpening in the field, and a well-defined tip for detailed cutting.

That brings us to the Kizer Task, a knife that visually resembles models like the Gerber Flatiron, featuring a relatively straight blade profile and handle. This is a good thing—straight handles paired with straight blades tend to excel in utility and everyday carry.
