Kizer Glaux: The Top Liner Lock Done Right!
Published: 1 week ago
Today we’re checking out the Kizer Glaux—a compact, lightweight EDC folding knife featuring grippy black micarta scales, a rose-gold-coated D2 drop-point blade, dual thumb studs, and Kizer’s smooth button-operated top liner lock. At approximately 7 inches overall and only 3.1 ounces, the Glaux delivers comfortable ergonomics, rock-solid lockup, excellent action, and an impressive deep-carry pocket clip in an easy-to-carry package.
This particular black micarta and rose-gold version appears to be available through Amazon for around $51, while three additional Kizer Glaux variants feature 14C28N blade steel. In this review, I cover the knife’s fit and finish, deployment action, lock operation, pocket carry, ergonomics, specifications, and size comparisons with the Benchmade Bugout and Spyderco Paramilitary 2.
Is the Kizer Glaux one of the best affordable top liner lock knives available right now? Watch the full review, then let me know what you think of the rose-gold and black color combination—and whether Kizer should have used matching rose-gold hardware instead!
