Nice Guy Pocket Folding Knife, 2.84" Nitro V Blade, Lightweight Sharp Camping and Hiking Tool, Comfort Richlite Handle, Liner Lock Flipper V3011A4

First, be aware this is a small knife. I know everyone can read the blade size in the specs, but be aware there is also a good sized choil, which is actually good. More on that later. Excellent flipper action with perfect detent. Thin blade with great grind for being super slicey. Feels very well made. This knife would be perfect for probably 95% of EDC tasks for most people, assuming light to medium use, which is probably 95% of us. Arrived shaving sharp. Has a decent sized choil. This cuts down on cutting length of thr blade, but really allows you to choke up. With my medium (or a little larger) hand, my thumb will easily reach the tip of the blade fully choked up. There are two gimping spots- one for standard grip and one for choked up. Great pocket clip retention. Sits very deep. Light weight and disappears in pocket. This will almost certainly become one of my go to knives in my EDC. Great price for the original at $39, but a steal on sale at $29!

Overall, this is a great and outstanding knife. It is over my expectations because economically and by quality and usefulness. I think it is more than 100 or $200 knife. The sharpness is crazy. I’m not sure what is the bevel angle. I believe it is like 14° or 15° please let me know if anybody has any idea. I love to know that especially if I want to re-sharp in the future. Great design easily fit anywhere very light but very sturdy the angle economics choice and everything is so good. I really love the Jimpings in the front and back. The action is very smooth. There are no movements or play in the plate pivot I’m usually carrying everywhere and it looks good and feels so good. It’s not thin. It’s not too thick but cutting is super. I don’t think so that this knife is for letter opener or that kind of task. I usually carry it to carry on camping outdoor even on the hunt or sitting on the tree stand or blind if you want to cut the rope or you carry something lighter in your pocket or backpack so this is your choice. The price is also reasonable, but it’s supposed to be a little bit low, but I don’t mind because this is kizer brand. I look forward if this comment is helpful to the other people.

The Kizer Nice Guy is the perfect EDC knife. Small but efficient, the blade is under 3 inches and is razor sharp. The flipper tab has a good snappy deployment The Nice Guy put my small Spyderco's and Benchmades on the shelf. Bonus,the Kizer Nice Guy comes in various steels and scales all under 50 dollars.

All a knife needs to be. It's very light (2.2 oz.) with "raspberry" colored richlite scales, sharp centered Nitro V blade, very fast flipper action, nice soft "no catch" spoon on right/left clip option, open length at 6.7" and can just accommodate 4 finger grip for large hand, ample choil makes for an even better 4 finger grip, well chamfered scales all around provides for zero hotspots. Excellent build quality/workmanship and price and:......an Azo design collaboration. They do have fancier models to choose from but at this price it suits me just fine and I definitely recommend.

The blade is great, sharp and really good shape. The scales feel pretty cheap and thin, although they're sturdy enough. The knife opens easily and smoothly. It's a good budget offering from Kizer, not as good as other folders I've gotten from them but perfectly fine for what it is.

Kizer VANGUARD lone is a brand known for amazing value and this "Nice Guy" model really fits the bill for a lightweight, medium-small knife. The richlite handle and Nitro V blade looks handsome, and it fits the hand well for all sorts of daily tasks, whether it's opening your mail or slicing open some packaging. I feel like it's also the perfect knife to get someone who might be hesitant about carrying a folder or new to EDC - the "Nice Guy" name for the model is very fitting.

Holds a sharp edge after heavy use. Even cut vinyl plank flooring with this blade and it is still sharp. If it wasn’t I would have taken a stone to it. I really thought after all the tile and cardboard I cut it would need a sharpening stone, but the blade is still almost 100%. I use it at work and it is my everyday carry pocket knife now. It may be a little small for some uses, but for most jobs it is sufficient. I like the ridges on the back of the blade for precision cuts. Perfect for your thumb. Really, I have unintentionally abused this knife and it shows no signs of ware and it keeps a sharp edge. There is no play in the handle and it still looks new. I will probably buy another identical knife for my toolbar. It’s a quality pocket knife for a cheap price.

The Kizer Nice Guy might sound friendly, but don’t let the name fool you—this little 2.84” D2 steel blade is sharp enough to whack anything in its way. Whether you’re slicing open boxes, cutting rope, or just making sure nobody double-crosses you on a camping trip, this knife is ready for business. The G10 handle? Grippy, lightweight, and built like a trustworthy consigliere—comfortable in hand and ready to back you up when things get serious (or when you just need to open a snack). Now, let’s talk action—this flipper snaps open like a mob boss clicking his fingers for a favor. And the liner lock? Solid. No blade play, no funny business—just like a well-run operation. At compact and lightweight, it’s the perfect EDC for when you want to carry discreetly but still be ready for action. Final Verdict: The Kizer Nice Guy is small, sharp, and smooth—like a good under-the-table deal. 9/10—because even "Nice Guys" need a little muscle.
