The original Begleiter was one of the knives that put Kizer on the map, and the Begleiter 2.9  is a worthy 2026 revisit that improves on the formula without losing what made it special. A 2.97" BD1N flat ground drop point blade is exceptionally easy to sharpen in the field. The thumb studs are so precisely positioned that deployment is near effortless, snapping open with a confidence that belies this CEO styled knife. Vortex pattern Micarta scales give the handle a grippy, characterful feel that only improves with carry and a design detail that elevates the overall package. The updated button top liner lock rounds out a knife that is sharper, slicier and more refined than the original in every way.
