I think the pink on black is actually kinda nice but I can totally understand how it clashes with the other aggressive features of the knife. On that note though, a softer, less tactical/aggressive color scheme, not necessarily aimed at women, could be cool. In places where knives are looked upon with suspicion, a less 'military' color scheme could turn it into a conversation piece or reduce anxiety/fear in others. As much as I enjoy tactical-looking gear, optics are important if they're ever going to be used in public as a tool.
Pinks just a color. No different than orange, or blue or whatever. But I definitely agree… choosing pink on a production level is drastically reducing your consumer base.
Re: pink and black, the cormorant looks really good in that color way. The bulldog doesn't look good, but it's not because it has pink on it. It looks bad because it is incongruous. Purple and pink can look really good when tastefully done, much like any color.
I think the jimping at the tip of the Bulldog is meant for the index finger whike holding the blade between the thumb and middle finger while keeping the ring and pinky on the handle. Sounds convoluted, but it's goid in animal processing.
orange is not easy to find in the spring summer and fall, as there is a lot of orange colour in plants and fungi, BLUE is the colour we use in forestry to find and locate items or to mark pathways. Orange in winter is great, as there ia a lot of frozen water blue. But one can add a blue cord or blue strapping to it.
I'm 100% with you on the color scheme on the Bulldog. If they just put stainless hardware on that, I would have ordered it. And the name of the knife is super masculine. And I have no problem with pink on a knife, like in fat carbon or something, but thats just like "why".
There's guys who carry pink knives too, I'm one. I'd carry both the Bulldog and that Cormorant (though I would prefer the Cormorant with a turquoise grid to go with that pink)
I’ve never met an officer who cared about the blade length. But I don’t live in a super restricted area. I can carry virtually whatever I want where I live.
Nice selection but don't forget about the Kizer Helmet coming out at the same time. Yeah, legal size is a thing for people who live or work in or near restricted zones but for those of us who don't, I'd rather have it the way the designer wanted it. As far as the Deckhand, why use a semi-stainless on a nautical-themed knife?!?
I'm starting to think knife brands might be doing the 3.1" thing on purpose. Like they know people in restricted places are gonna filter knives by "3 inches or less" so they list it as over 3" to avoid legal hair-splitting
I would love the bulldog blade shape if it were a fixed blade and at 4 and if the execution of pink and black were more tasteful. I don’t have an issue with pink, but I do have an issue with a boring execution of a color. Great example: hot pink gameboy color was a banger-Great execution of a color where even tough dudes and dudettes would nod their heads in respect
I really like the shape of that bulldog but I don't care for the color choice even though I rather like pinks especially neon or perhaps a bright purple. For example I own and keep on my keychain my pink victorinox Dessert warrior SD classic. But I don't care for that light pink color tone
Orange deckhand is already out… nice idea for boating or gardening (same features for cutting rope apply to harvesting and pruning). But ideally you’d really want a more corrosion resistant steel and zero belly, or even a downward Kant (like the Byrd Cara Cara Rescue).
I love my Deckhand, mine came razor sharp. Is Kizer still sending knives with the pouch? I find those super wasteful, what are you supposed to do with them afterwards?
I want to pick 2 Kizer Knifes to order, I dont have any Kizer 's yet. Can't decide which 2 to get. Live in PNW so good corrosion resistance is higher on my list. EDC or outdoor knife to carry up in the MOuntains here. I don't care about weight. Thoughts? Also is there a live stream Saturday?
I think it’s just as weird to assume pink is meant for women as you find it patronizing to women. Neither of those knives screams “girlie” to me. Also they call it blackpink so it might be a reference. The cormorant is obviously going for 80s neon pink as well.
I’m a trans woman who happens to carry a black and pink edc kit, I understand your point about it being patronizing that being said I really like the color combo and would love the bulldog if you are willing to part with it
overly nosy cop: well well just how long is the blade on that there knife buddy person: oh it's 2.99 inches cop: ok alrighty good to hear there neighborino, just tell me what it's called so I can look it up and verify person: assassin cop: 😳👮♂🚔🚨
speak for yourself bruh! i think the pink accents are nice and maybe if we wanna attract a different audience of possible enthusiasts the different colors may be the way to do that, nevermind the manly lady dudes who think pink is patronizing and offensive lmao

cant argue with that, seems logical
Ive been messing around all day with my new ozark trail $10 wonder. Cant believe it's d2 and ive been beating it up all day
sick
It’s garbage 🤦🏻♂️ that handle is a joke and the blade is just ok. Not even worth $10
Pinks just a color. No different than orange, or blue or whatever. But I definitely agree… choosing pink on a production level is drastically reducing your consumer base.
I’m Into the pink on black, but I can’t argue your assessment on overall market appeal
I think it also looks kinda dope.
you may be that person then! the handle texture is AMAZING
I carry pink knives every October to support my wife and other breast cancer survivors

Change that pink to purple, and its a winner. Purple gang ftw.
3:57 They probably did the pink accents for those who are obsessed with the pink donut aesthetic
Love the pink and black personally
Male purple gang rise up!

That little fixed blade is nice I've been thinking of picking up a small lower cost EDC fixed blade and that might be a great option
I love the pink on black! 🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷
The Bulldog seems great, I'll keep an eye out for that.

Off-topic question: Do you have any plans to do an EDC update video in the near future? Those are some of my favourites! Thanks.
that infinity blade is simple but very aesthetically pleasing.
I’ve never met an officer who cared about the blade length. But I don’t live in a super restricted area. I can carry virtually whatever I want where I live.
Yeah, not super my jam but my nephews both wear a fair bit of pink and would probably find the pink handles cool.
I agree 100% on the clip for the Deckhand. Cant reverse it and I'm not a fan of the Ulti at all so returned the knife
I hate the pink accents on the Bulldog. But the pink on the Cormorant is surprisingly appealing to me.
Nice selection but don't forget about the Kizer Helmet coming out at the same time.

so many good kizers- its hard to keep track

Love kizer knives. New box is nice since it's smaller.

it hasn't dropped yet.

no idea lols.

on whatnot yes, but it will also stream to YT
Some women might think pink being for "them" is patronizing, but it's ALSO patronizing to assume a company used pink strictly to appeal to women.
I actually think the pink accents look sick on the Bulldog
Happy National Knife Day!!
Evertime you say Dead Zone you should run some b-roll of Christopher Walken in the movie by the same name.
oh damn..your soo right.
My state has a 12in limit for blades
I mean, they donut knives that are pink, powder blue, have sprinkles & people eat them up.

glad you like it, the knife is growing on me as well. I may actually keep it as the handle texture is just soooo good.
overly nosy cop: well well just how long is the blade on that there knife buddy
person: oh it's 2.99 inches
cop: ok alrighty good to hear there neighborino, just tell me what it's called so I can look it up and verify
person: assassin
cop: 😳👮♂🚔🚨
The pepto-bismol pink makes cheap looking or a gas station knife
Ayo
The deckhand says currently unavailable?
coming to amazon soon I've heard
👍🍻
How patronizing to say strong independent wahmen cant like pink.
The peptobismo color scheme has to be removed from the planet immediately 😮😅😊
fact
I'm a woman. I had breast cancer. I hate pink.
definitely proving my point. All the women in my life...they mostly don't like being pigeon holed into one thing.
kizerfest
speak for yourself bruh! i think the pink accents are nice and maybe if we wanna attract a different audience of possible enthusiasts the different colors may be the way to do that, nevermind the manly lady dudes who think pink is patronizing and offensive lmao
Kunwu knives are fugly. 🤣😂
the Crocodile is a harpoon point.
