Muskrat Fixed Blade Knife, Argyle Brown Micarta Handle, 1064C1

I seem to be developing a collection of edc fixed blades. They just suit me. The Kizer Muskrat is a worthy addition. I will compare it, here, with my two other go-to edc's: the Artisan Sea Snake and the Esee Izula. All are full tang and I have them set up for scout carry. The Muskrat blade is 154CM, which is still on of my favorite blade steels. Holds an edge, sharpens well, tough, resists corrosion. The blade is as thick as the Izula, but with the clip point, it is pretty dumpy. It took a bit to hone in an edge I liked, but it will be robust. The design is sleek with the smallest grip, but I like the shallow micarta scales. I added a short paracord snake tail, but my little finger rests on the handle. It comes with a fine kydex sheath, but no attachment (I added loops). The Sea Snake blade is Atrisan's proprietary RPM9 powder steel. I like it. Seems similar to my Leek's Sandvik 14c28n. It has the longest handle (not including the extra choil!) and very smooth g10 scales. The narrowest blade makes it a fine slicer, but the wonderful Wharncliff tip could break if used improperly. It comes with a fine kydex sheath, but no attachment (I added loops). The Izula is 1095 carbon steel, so has a protective coating to resist rust and corrosion. It has thick blade steel, but a nice straight grind with the deepest blade so slices well and maintains strength. The added micarta scales give it the thickest grip. I did not like the included sheath, so found a leather one (bringing its upgrades to $35). The Muskrat, as the clip point, has earned its place in my top trio, but all considered - its price at $45 on sale (the Sea snake *was* a bargain at $39, now $47, and the Izula as the sole US made at $65 [plus $35 for upgrades]) and its strong but dumpy blade, keep it from an overall trophy, yet it is a great edc and worth it. I doubt another clip point will knock it off the podium anytime soon.

I've carried a lot of knives over the years, and the Kizer Muskrat Fixed Blade Knife stands out as one of the most reliable I’ve used. The 3.15-inch blade is just the right size for a wide range of tasks, from slicing through rope to preparing food while camping. The full tang construction gives it a solid feel, and it’s built to withstand tough use without losing its edge. The handle is well-contoured and fits comfortably in my hand, even after extended use. I appreciate the balance between weight and portability – it's sturdy without being cumbersome. Plus, the leather sheath it comes with is rugged and keeps the blade secure during travel. Whether I'm out hiking, working on a project, or just need a reliable everyday carry knife, the Muskrat gets the job done. It’s practical, durable, and definitely a knife I trust to hold up in any situation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality fixed blade.

It’s super nice, the s35vn version is crazy cheap for the quality steel you get! I have big hands and the handle still lets me get a 4 finger grip

Great blade for EDC, which is why I purchased it. This is a small blade. I have small to medium sized hands with gloves. As you can see, it fits easily in my hand. If you have bigger hands, buyer beware. It is a full tang, solid piece of D2 steel clearly marked along with the Muskrat name. The handle is light weight and smooth. If you run your finger tips across the pattern, you can slightly feel the edges. I suspect when wet the fluid will enter these grooves first giving you better grip. Since it's a full blade, the balance is a bit back heavy due to the tiles, but nothing I felt made a difference swinging it around. The scabbard is small and comes with a cord if youd like to make it a neck knif. The blade fits snugly and releases with a snap. 4 stars as I haven't used it yet. I am totally satisfied with it and plan to use it as my current EDC.

Good quality knife, razor sharp, sheath is nice heavy duty and holds the knife securely. It is as the description states Small but feels comfortable in the hand, nice alternative to a folding knife for daily carry.

I actually got this for my girlfriend to keep in her purse, she loves it. She can fit it right in there and it clips right onto one of the inside pockets, it comes out of the sheath nice and easy, and it's very sharp

I own 17 kizer knives. This is the first and only one I was let down by. The knife would be great if I could use the sheath. Mine is so tight the knife won't go all the way in. Even banging it on the table won't get it all the way in.

Big fan. As tiny as a fixed blade can be while maintaining usefulness. The thin profile, excellent taco style kydex sheath that fits snugly, and attractive/grippy micarta scales have left me very satisfied with my first foray into EDC fixed blades that I’ll actually carry.
