The Sheepdog is one of those knives that helped put Kizer on the map. It was a modern classic born from their collab with Chris Conaway of Sheepdog Knives. Now it’s back with a fresh twist. The C01C 2.9 CD keeps the spirit of the original, but refines it into a slimmer, lighter, more pocket-friendly everyday carry with a drop point Nitro-V blade and Kizer’s adjustable clutch lock to match.

That 2.95" Nitro-V blade  blade brings a practical edge to the platform. It is tough, highly corrosion resistant, and easy to maintain, making it a great choice for real-world carry. The flat grind keeps it working efficiently through everyday cutting, while the bearing pivot delivers smooth, controlled deployment. The clutch lock makes operation fully ambidextrous, pairing perfectly with the reversible deep-carry clip so lefties get equal love.

In hand, the knife feels sleek and modern, thanks to the micarta scales and a noticeably slimmer profile than the original Sheepdog. Same design DNA, updated for the modern market.

Highlights:

• 2.95" Nitro-V drop point blade – corrosion resistant steel that’s easy to maintain
• Slimmed-down Sheepdog design – classic lines, easier pocket carry
• Clutch Lock + bearings – smooth, one handed operation
• Micarta/Richlite scales – modern, lightweight, and durable
• Deep-carry reversible clip – left- and right-hand friendly
• Featherweight 74g – compact and comfortable for all-day carry
