Who has it? None of my regular Kizer dealers.

One says "out of stock" and another says "discontinued."

If you don't mind, how about searching on Amazon or just contact your regular dealers and ask them when it will be in stock?
 
The CF is real nice.

Wish the blade length was 2.99" like Envoy instead of 3.17".

Heavy at 4.75 ounces for a small flipper even with titanium liners.

Hope there's no lock stick due to the titanium liners.

Priced kind of high at $203 for S35VN but it could be the nice CF.

That recurve blade is not to everyone's liking.

Looks cool, nice use of carbon fiber, stout "liner lock", etc. How thick is blade stock?
 
BladeHQ finally got around to measuring the Desert Dog:
  • Overall Length: 7.50"
  • Blade Length: 3.125"
  • Blade Thickness: 0.14"
  • Handle Length: 4.375"
  • Handle Thickness: 0.53"
  • Weight: 4.72 oz.
 
BladeHQ lists the liner as stainless steel but Kizer in post #1 has it as titanium.

So, which is it?

Based on the weight I'd say stainless steel.
 
After confirm with

After confirmation, the liner is stainless steel but that on the prototype is titanium.
