The Kizer Militaw got the fixed blade and the mini treatment, as well as a huge range of new handle color and combo options.
The Militaw Fixed Blade
| Overall Length: | 8.18″ |
| Blade Length: | 3.83″ |
| Blade Steel | Nitro-V or S35VN |
| Sheath: | Taco-style Kydex |
The Militaw Fixed Blade is right around the same dimensions as the standard Militaw folder, but the blade is a little longer and thicker, and the handle a little shorter. So ergonomically you end up with something much more blade-centric.
Currently there are two versions:
- The more premium one featuring S35VN steel and an aluminum handle with carbon fiber inerts ($156);
- And the other featuring Nitro-V steel with a G10 handle with Micarta inserts ($67).
Both come in a taco-style Kydex sheath with a button-clasp mounting system.
The Mini Militaw
| Overall Length: | 6.7″ |
| Blade Length: | 2.82″ |
| Blade Steel | Nitro-V, M390, or S35VN |
| Lock: |
The Mini Militaw comes with an overall length of 6.7 inches and a 2.82-inch blade. We’re forgoing the quick spec table because Kizer released a lot of different variations of this knife all at once, so here’s a list with a quick rundown of the different steel, handle, and lock combos instead:
They released this in a lot of different materials all at once across their Vanguard and Blade Smith series, so here’s a quick run down of the options in each. Generally the Vanguards are around $70 and the Blade Smiths are around $170.

Additionally the Vanguard editions all come with deep carry pocket clips while the Blade Smith editions comes with milled titanium clips.
