The Kizer ornet Fixed Blade Knife (Model 1074A2) is a compact yet capable everyday carry tool designed to deliver reliable cutting performance in a pocket-friendly size. Inspired by the sharp efficiency of its namesake, this fixed blade combines bold styling with practical functionality, making it a dependable companion for daily cutting tasks and outdoor use.
At its core is a 2.52″ sheepsfoot blade crafted from Swedish 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a negative angle design, allowing the cutting edge to naturally engage materials more efficiently while reducing wrist fatigue. A black PVD coating paired with a stonewashed finish enhances durability while providing a low-reflection, scratch-resistant surface suited for demanding environments.
The handle is constructed from durable acrylic, shaped with a contoured profile designed to fit securely in the hand. Precision-machined diagonal grooves improve grip traction, helping maintain control even in wet or demanding conditions. Despite its compact size, the Hornet provides a confident four-finger grip, ensuring stability during detailed or repetitive cutting tasks.
