The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ and thumb stud support smooth operation for office work, urban EDC, and light outdoor tasks.
14C28N – stainless steel for a practical EDC folder
14C28N is well-suited for an everyday knife, as it combines corrosion resistance, easier sharpening, and good edge performance. In the Glaux V3801A3 model, it performs well when cutting cardboard, packaging, ropes, tapes, and utility materials. A hardness of 58–59 HRC ensures blade stability while allowing the knife to remain ready for use without complicated maintenance.
Drop point and flat grind – control with a wide blade geometry
The drop point profile ensures versatile use, good tip strength, and predictable blade guidance. The flat grind improves cutting smoothness and works well with the wide blade, which provides a larger working surface when in contact with the material. The Black PVD Coating & Stonewashed finish reduces glare and minimizes the visibility of fine work marks.
Aluminum and Button Liner Lock™ – rigidity and comfortable mechanics
The aluminum handle ensures a rigid construction and secure hand support during heavier cutting. Its fuller profile stabilizes the knife well, and the Ink Blue color gives the model a more technical and distinctive look. The Kizer Button Liner Lock™ allows you to conveniently release the blade with a button, while the thumb stud ensures quick opening of the blade without using both hands.
Why choose the Kizer Glaux Ink Blue Aluminum for your gear?
The Kizer Glaux V3801A3 is designed for users who want an EDC folder with a solid grip, an aluminum handle, and a wide blade for everyday tasks. 14C28N steel makes maintenance easy, the drop point profile ensures versatility, and the Black PVD Coating & Stonewashed finish withstands the wear and tear of regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to care for and sharpen the 14C28N steel in the Kizer Glaux model?
The 14C28N steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, or dirt. Ceramic, water stone, or a diamond sharpener with a moderate grit will work well for sharpening, as 14C28N allows for efficient restoration of a sharp edge.

Is an aluminum handle practical for an EDC knife?
Yes, the aluminum handle provides rigidity and a technical feel to the grip, which suits a folder with a more robust construction well. Compared to Micarta, it offers a more metallic, solid character and slightly more weight to the entire knife.
