Kizer Phoca CD Pocket Knife, 2.95" Drop Point 14C28N Blade Folding Knife

Nice utilitarian design. Very good fit and finish. Good ergonomics. Blade is well ground, very sharp and perfectly centered. Action is smooth and snappy. Lockup is solid with no play whatsoever. Great little work knife.

Much nicer than I anticipated. Feels very good in the hand, smooth action and excellent ergonomics. I really like the button actuated top liner lock.

This is a particularly beautiful knife. I have a serious knife collection, which includes so-called "grail" knives costing over 10X this knife's cost, and this knife is right at home. It has the fantastic new button liner lock system- the most fidget friendly design ever made. The Micarta is truly different- it feels like fabric. The Damascus is as pretty as anything in my collection. Kizer has really come into their own this year, and this is one of the greats. It isn't super light, or super thin- it is really about beauty. I have NEVER ONCE pulled it out and not had someone say "wow, that is a beautiful knife". If you want a "super steel", check out the Kizer Drop Bear Zero- I have that in both Bohler 390 and Elmax, and it is also a brilliant small/medium sized knife. Hats off to Kizer for really raising their game in 2026.

Snappy action. Smooth button lock. Soft yet grippy brown micarta. Centered blade. No blade movement at lockup. Sharp out of the box. Stonewashed matt finished blade is attractive. Fits OK in my small male hands but it is on the small side.

This is a perfect little knife. Using it as my every day carry for now.

Light weight, smooth action and love the feel of the scale. What’s not to love?

It’s a very cool concept everything about it on paper looked amazing. After I bought it and received it I was super disappointed because it wasn’t what I was expecting. I wanted a slice knife and this wasn’t at all. Some people really like that style. I don’t that’s why I give it a three star but I love kizer knives! Have tons but this was a huge dude for me. If it was any other brand, I would’ve given it a one star but ITS “KIZER”🤷‍♂️ I’m the husband lol I collect everything EDC but knives my whole life.

The black micarta scales pair perfectly with the damascus blade. The san mai damascus pattern is amazing. Button actuated liner lock functions perfectly. Open via studs or button. Jimping and skeletonized liner. Only downside for some might be no option to switch the clip to the other side. Otherwise this knife is flawless.
