Kizer Dodo V2702A2 Folding Karambit

The Kizer Dodo V2702A2 Folding Knife is a modern reimagining of the traditional karambit, designed for practical everyday carry and versatile cutting performance. Created by designer Giedymin, the Dodo combines the signature finger ring and curved profile of a karambit with the utility-focused cutting power of a recurve cleaver blade.

Compact yet highly capable, the Dodo features a durable Nitro-V stainless steel blade with a black PVD coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, wear protection, and a sleek tactical appearance. Its modified karambit blade shape delivers excellent cutting control, slicing efficiency, and versatile utility for everyday tasks ranging from opening packages to detailed cutting work.

The ergonomically designed purple PC handle features a deeply milled puzzle-pattern texture that enhances grip security and visual appeal. An integrated finger ring provides exceptional retention and control in both forward and reverse grips, while strategically placed jimping along the blade spine, handle, and ring improves handling confidence in demanding conditions.

Equipped with dual deployment methods through the thumb hole and flipper tab, along with a secure liner lock mechanism, the Dodo offers smooth one-handed operation and reliable performance in a compact EDC-friendly package.
