Kizer Honors an Esteemed Knife Designer With the Return of the Megatherium

The Megatherium series from Kizer, a brainchild of the late Elijah Isham, has been a favorite among enthusiasts since its debut in 2017. Each iteration, from the original full-sized model to the compact Minitherium, showcased Isham’s bold, surrealistic designs paired with Kizer’s uncompromising use of materials, especially in this final, limited-edition reissue. This exclusive release captures everything we love about the model and refines it with premium materials and a striking finish, making it the perfect sendoff to the collaboration. The Megatherium features a big-bellied 3.65″ polished DLC-coated wharncliffe blade made from high-performance 20CV steel, delivering top-tier edge retention and excellent wear resistance paired with a flat grind to get the most slice out of the big blade.

The handle, made from black titanium with visually stunning Fat Carbon Nebula inlays, is ergonomically designed for comfort, with a distinctive thumb ramp for optimal thumb placement and well-chamfered edges for a smooth tactile experience. The frame lock ensures secure lockup, the front flipper and thumb hole provides multiple ways to deploy the blade, and the signature “Edge Below Tab” flipper system cleverly conceals the flipper in open position, ensuring unobstructed performance while still providing a secure full-handed grip thanks to the generous choil. The 3D non-reversible pocket clip also ensures secure tip-up carry, rounding out the design with an added layer of functionality. Kizer has gone all out with this final piece of the Megatherium series, perfecting the combination of Isham’s organic design and top-tier fit and finish. There’s still time to grab this last piece of knife history exclusively from Kizer’s site.
