Kizer Ursa Major Fixed Blade KnifeGerman Nitro-V Stainless Steel Blade | Black Micarta Scales | 1082A3
If the Kizer Ursa Major, designed by Maksim Epifantsev, were a character in a wilderness survival film, this version would be the refined expert—the one who can fell a tree with a single, perfectly placed slice, then carve a beautiful wooden spoon right after. Named after the "Great Bear" constellation, the Ursa Major is a robust, full-tang fixed blade that manages to feel both incredibly powerful and surprisingly elegant in hand.
This powerhouse knife boasts a formidable overall length of 9.13" inches, anchored by a substantial 4.43" inches Clip Point blade. This aggressive Bowie-style profile is famous for its piercing ability and a sweeping belly that makes general cutting a breeze.
The blade is where this model truly shines. It’s crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a material engineered to give you high-end performance, especially in edge retention and corrosion resistance. Heat treated to a respectable 60-62 HRC, this steel holds a razor-sharp edge for a long time—perfect for bushcraft tasks where precision matters. With a blade thickness of 0.16" inches (4.0 mm), it still has the necessary backbone to handle tougher camp chores, but it leans into its slicer personality.
Holding the Ursa Major is a treat, thanks to the Black Micarta handle scales. This material is known for its grip—it actually gets grippier when wet—and it quickly develops a unique character and patina over time, making this knife truly yours. The smooth, ergonomic contours ensure comfort and control, even during extended use. This attention to detail is why it’s slightly lighter than its G10 sibling, clocking in at 5.49 oz.
Maksim Epifantsev didn't just design a handsome fixed blade; he designed a versatile tool:
The full tang extends to include a built-in quarter-inch hex wrench at the butt, offering surprising utility in a pinch.
The spine is precisely ground to a 90-degree angle, transforming it into the perfect tool for scraping tinder or throwing showers of sparks from a ferro rod.
Tucked safely into its included Kydex sheath, this Ursa Major is ready to be your guiding star through any outdoor adventure.
