Calling anything grail-worthy comes with certain risks baked in. It heightens expectations and increases the chance of a letdown.

That said, I don’t think it’s at all risky to call Kizer’s Feweed the first grail-worthy EDC knife release of the year. To put it plainly, this knife is spectacular.

The future is now

Created by Vũ Huỳnh Nam Anh, the Feweed was inspired by the Vietnamese phrase Phê quá, which, according to the brand, “conveys the thrill of exhilaration and the satisfaction after a hard-earned challenge.” Considering the knife won the Kizer X U Design Contest, it’s a fitting influence.

However, that inspiration runs a bit deeper. It’s not just about the past; as Ahn says, it’s about the future. As such, everything about the knife, from its silhouette to its tiniest minutiae, is futuristic.

The harpoon-shaped blade, angular thumb studs, and curvature of the handle all scream futurism, yet they’re still appropriate for today’s knife world. That’s a tricky line to walk and easy to overdo, but Ahn has managed it exceptionally well.

The devil’s in the details

The knife’s design would be meaningless if the materials and details didn’t support its appearance and form. Thankfully, the Kizer Feweed shines from every angle.

The harpoon blade is made from Z-Wear PM, a super steel similar to Cruwear that offers outstanding hardness, wear resistance and toughness. Furthermore, the frame lock handle is made from sturdy, lightweight titanium.

However, the standout detail is the handle inlays. Made from camo carbon, they look like a two-piece design in the finished knife, but when you take it apart for maintenance, you’ll discover they’re actually one seamless piece.

It’s a careful, clever detail that maybe only the most discerning knife nerds will appreciate, but it’s outstanding nonetheless. It also speaks to the quality and care of the overall design, lending credence to its potential as a grail EDC knife.

Available now, going fast

Starting at $169 (which is pretty reasonable, all things considered), the Kizer Feweed is available for purchase now. However, it’s already quickly selling out — as of this article, only one of the four variants is still available through Kizer.

Thankfully, you can also find it for the same price at Knife Center. Whether it will be available at other retailers remains to be seen. Whatever the case, I hope this isn’t the last Vũ Huỳnh Nam Anh-designed knife I see.
