Though Kizer is much more known for its folding knives, the company makes a strong case for the Sealion: an 8-inch fixed blade drop-point that’ll tackle anything you need it to in the woods or in the backyard. Made with VG-10, a high-carbon stainless steel manufactured in Japan, the Sealion has good edge retention and wear resistance. Strong, thanks to a full-tang build, the knife is also easy to wield. It weighs less than 5 ounces and sports an ergonomic handle made from G-10. Jimping on the spine adds extra grip retention for those more stubborn slices and cuts. The included kydex sheath makes a convenient area for carry on the move.
