Kizer Drop Bear | Green Carbon Fiber | Nitro-V

A lightweight Drop Bear with a little extra shimmer.

The Kizer Drop Bear has earned its place as one of those modern folders that's just plain easy to recommend: comfortable in hand, smooth in operation, ambidextrous, and sized for everyday carry without feeling undersized when there's actual work to do.

This version gives the familiar Azo-designed platform a particularly handsome upgrade with green carbon fiber handles and a 2.97" Nitro-V drop-point blade. Nitro-V brings a useful combination of toughness, edge performance, and corrosion resistance to an already practical EDC design, while the carbon fiber keeps the knife down to just 2.75 ounces.

At the heart of the Drop Bear is Kizer's Clutch Lock™, an ambidextrous crossbar-style lock that keeps your fingers out of the blade path during operation and contributes considerably to the Drop Bear's famously fidget-friendly nature. Dual thumb studs handle deployment, and a reversible deep-carry clip makes it equally accommodating for right- or left-handed carry.

The result is still unmistakably a Drop Bear—just lighter, greener, and a little more dressed up.

Why We Like It

There's a reason Kizer keeps making Drop Bears in increasingly dangerous-to-the-wallet configurations.

It's just a really good platform.

This one hits a particularly nice balance: Nitro-V is a practical everyday steel, the Clutch Lock is ridiculously satisfying, and the green carbon fiber gives it enough visual interest to feel special without turning it into something you're afraid to actually carry.

Also: green carbon fiber.

You know we're susceptible to this nonsense.
