I like the design except for the recurve.

Very nice!

If you do another, please consider a model with 2.9 inch blade.

i need one love the orange g10

 

[Agartha Audio]

I like this design, but also would much prefer ditching the recurve. 2.9" blade would be awesome too for my edc prefs.

I dig this design. Is there a blade Smith version available? I'll keep an eye out at dealers. Checked the usual suspects, no luck so far.

yes there are two bladesmith versions with flippers and anodized ti framelocks with inserts.

 

[fishface5]

nice, but I agree we need more 2.9" blade options from Kizer

Are you referring to this knife? Doesn't look to be the same design

They're up at BladeHQ now.

They're up at BladeHQ now.

I have one (an orange one) for about 2 weeks now (fleabay, croatian shop) and i like it. Smooth g10, comfortable handle, can't flip it open due to the form of the hole in the blade, but not really necessary for me.
Would like a deep carry clip, but i think i can make an aftermarket pocket clip of a ZT350 to fit.
For the money, i think it was a great buy.

 

[Lycosa]

I like it a lot.
Orange for me.

Love the design (even the slight recurve). Reminds me a lot of the Boker Plus Caracal, but I like how the Kesmec looks more aggresive.

Would like it even more if it were a flipper.

Not sure I follow -- you can't use the opening hole?

You can. I got mine in. Very easy to flick open with the middle finger flick or even your thumb. I have a video up on my youtube. Link in my sig.

You can use it, to open the knife 'slowly', but to flick it open it just feels a bit awkward.
The spyderco hole, for example, makes it much easier to flick open a knife, than the longer more narrow opening of the Kesmec.
And of course, when you keep trying you can flick it open, but not a high succes rate and not that comfortable, well, to me anyway...

Would love one without the recurve.

I was lucky to pick one of these up off the secondary market for $65 as they've jumped to $89 from retailers. That's a pretty dramatic leap from the original selling price of $59.
