Kizer Apus Copper

Compact, stylish, and packed with cutting-edge materials, the Kizer Apus Copper is a modern gentleman’s knife that balances form and function in a uniquely eye-catching package. Its name (Apus, a genus of small, fast-flying birds) reflects the knife’s sleek profile and agile performance.

The Apus features a premium CPM-S35VN blade with a modified Wharncliffe profile and a fine stonewashed finish. This high-end powder metallurgy steel delivers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for everyday carry.

Opening the blade is effortless and intuitive thanks to the flipper tab and smooth ceramic ball bearings. The compact 5.9 cm blade locks securely into place with a robust liner lock mechanism.

What truly sets this version apart is the solid copper handle, which offers a satisfying heft and develops a natural patina over time. Its ergonomic contours ensure a secure grip despite the knife’s compact size. A sculpted copper backspacer and a deep-carry pocket clip round out the design.

A statement piece that performs just as well as it looks, the Kizer Apus Copper is both a functional EDC and a collector’s gem.
