Few pocket knives are as classic as the folding hunter. This iconic cutting tool style dates back to the origins of the everyday carry category. It’s also most notably crafted by traditional American brands like Buck Knives and Case Cutlery.
Now, a much more contemporary knifemaking brand has taken that time-honored style and pared it into a far more modernized gentleman’s knife. Better still, the Kizer Little Grand will appeal to a range of folks, as it is offered in both highly affordable and decidedly upscale configurations.

Four of a kind and two pair
The Little Grand is available in four configurations, covering a range of styles and two significantly different price points. However, they can be grouped into two pairs.
The first two — the more affordable options — boast Nitro-V blade steel, one with a silver and the other with a black finish. However, despite sharing the same blade steel, their handles are quite different.
One has aluminum bolsters and Mkuruti wood scales, while the second has G10 bolsters with Micarta scales. That said, they’re far more similar to one another than their high-end siblings.
