Shifting Handle EDC Knives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kizer 'Rhino' Folding EDC Knife Has a Titanium Handle and More

— November 11, 2021 — Art & Design
The Kizer 'Rhino' folding EDC knife is a stylishly functional product for those seeking out a way to easily take care of virtually any task they encounter throughout their daily routine. The knife was originally known as the Audaz during the development and prototyping phase, and is constructed with a Wharncliffe blade that's achieved using S35VN stainless steel that's been stonewashed. The handle on the knife is achieved with two titanium slabs that will open to reveal the blade and utilize a magnetic coupling system in order to allow them to move freely.

The Kizer 'Rhino' folding EDC knife is paired with a matching titanium tip-up pocket clip to allow for easier carrying and is expected to come with a competitive price point like the brand's other products.
Trend Themes
1. EDC Knives with Magnetic Coupling Handles - There is an opportunity for knife manufacturers to create more innovative EDC products with magnetic coupling handles.
2. Use of S35VN Stainless Steel in Knife Blades - There is an opportunity for stainless steel manufacturers to cater to knife manufacturers looking for stronger and more durable alloys.
3. Titanium-handled Folding Knives with Matching Clips - There is an opportunity for knife manufacturers to create more stylish EDC products with matching titanium clips.
Industry Implications

2. Steel Manufacturing - Steel manufacturers can target the knife manufacturing industry by creating stronger and more durable alloys, such as S35VN stainless steel.
3. EDC Accessories - Manufacturers of EDC accessories can create matching clips for EDC knives with titanium handles to offer more stylish options for consumers.
