Kizer Knives Bulldog Fix 1116A1 (also known as the Kizer Bulldog Fixed Blade Knife in Blue / Dark Blue G10 with Blue PVD & Stonewashed blade).
This is the Blue variant of Kizer’s compact fixed-blade “Bulldog Fix” series, designed by O.SHO. It translates the popular Bulldog folding knife’s ergonomic, utility-focused DNA into a no-nonsense fixed blade. With its short, stout sheepsfoot blade and one-piece G10 handle, it excels as a discreet everyday carry (EDC), utility, or backup fixed blade that prioritizes control, safety, and comfort over aggressive tactical styling.
