Kizer's new Drop Bear is more than just a new Axis Style Lock knife. With a 154 CM Blade, aluminum scales, buttery smooth action, and a new perfect fit in the hand you can bet it's exactly what you would expect from a company like Kizer. Kizer is calling the lock the Clutch Lock it runs on Omega Springs and it is adjustable! This simple but ingenious design is going to give you five levels of adjustability to your Clutch Lock making it the first type of this lock that can be personalized and customized from factory! Since they are inviting us into the knife they put great consideration into accessing the adjustable Clutch System but making the scales sit on top of the stainless steel liners using only two torx head screws. The also made the pivot screws independent of one another using a D-Shaped pivot nut. So you can take apart one whole side of the knife without having to consider the other.

The Clutch Lock on the Kizer Drop Bear is a really innovative design not because it's overly complicated or because it's something entirely new but because it's the first to open the door to variation in a lot of our favorite lock type. I've been carrying the Drop Bear for a few weeks now and am really loving it as a new knife and I am really excited to see what potential it has unlocked for the 'Axis' Style lock world.
