Description

This is the Cormorant V2 which has a patented locking mechanism. Designed by Kizer's Engineer/designer Yue, also known as Doctor_EDC, the Cormorant V2 has multiple opening methods. You can front flip, flipper tab it, spydie flick it with the cutout or use the button lock mechanism. 

Doctor_EDC has put a lot of thought into the Button Lock. He's placed the lock plunge inside the blade to prevent any unintended lock release. The dome shaped lock plunge also allows for a springy feel deploying the knife and control when closing it with the button lock. With S35VN steel (Or the mighty 20CV steel! for the Frag Ti model), this knife not only has great action but performs well on cutting tasks too. 

Overall, this knife has been tuned in well, one of the best budget button locks on the market for sure.

Happy boy

Very happy with both my XX pattern and Ti Frag. The Ti frag especially had excellent action out of the box. It should be mentioned that while the XX pattern has the original look of the cormorant V1, it is the V2 version. Very happy with Adventure carry, as they seem to get in very interesting stuff that no one else in Australia seems to stock. Ordered the Ti frag the day it was posted on the site and it was sold out by the next morning. Definitely a site to check regularly.

Something for everyone

Great knife, comfortable in the hand, blade centred and insanely sharp out of the box.
Love how many ways for you to deploy the blade, extremely fidget friendly!
Detent was a little firm but its breaking in nicely and is getting only better to use.
I opted for the symbols on the scales as I'm a playstation fan as well, so was nice to combine two passions.
As always the service from Mitch is exceptional and I can not recommend Adventure Carry highly enough, truly a great shop.

Fidget factor

I wanted a knife with multiple deployment methods, for the fidget factor, and the Cormorant basically has them all! I went with the FRAG Ti version, which in my opinion is the best looking, I'm definitely happy with my selection.

There was an issue with the first one sent, so I contacted Mitch for some support as I'm a knife noob and wanted to be sure what I was experiencing wasn't to be expected. Mitch's customer service was fantastic, suggesting potential fixes before offering to take the knife back for inspection. After inspection, Mitch agreed there was an issue and sent me a replacement that functions as I imagined it should.

I can recommend both the Cormorant as a knife to purchase and Adventure Carry as a business to purchase it from.

Interesting knife

Hmm... Mixed here. Mostly good, and the service was second to none, but... The knife is odd. Clip on my one is slightly misaligned to my eye, but top notch quality for a titanium clip... Flexible like it should be. Button actually came off after a day or two but it's easy enough to fix - pull it apart and some Loctite and it's good to go (thank you Mitchell for the help with this one too). The grenade pattern is cool but it is also slightly misaligned... However...

Awesome knife regardless of its flaws. It's a really good functional tool (even for it's price and competition at this price) more than a work of art and I really do consider it this way. It's a real fidget machine and, in spite of those flaws, I play with it all the time. The different flip actions are super fun to play with, blade is great for cutting boxes etc, and a top quality grind/steel, and it feels really good in the hand with that bit in front of the handle on the top of the blade (whatever it's called... I'm a tactile guy, not a knife nerd, so take this with a grain of salt). Really like the knife and don't regret it, and has quickly become a favourite of mine.

I recommend it!

Titanium Cormorant is Excellent

Didn't particularly care for any of the white & black G10 versions, but the Frag Ti version is excellent.
Great steel and grind with multiple opening options and the frag titanium feels great in the hand.
Very pleased that Adventure Carry persevered in getting it in stock and at a very good price.
Thanks Mitch also for excellent service.

Kizer Cormorant

The Kizer Cormorant is a great knife fun to play with I have not put this thing down since I got it. Looks wise well, she looks like my ex girlfriend, in other words she looks better with the lights off in the dark. Im going to dye the G10 black or red to help the look of her. Multiple deployment options that has my hands working over time. The action is Kizer action, best in the business for the price they ask with S35VN. T8 up front but T6s for the rest, in my opinion T8s all the way to help stop the screw or bit stripping. Pocket clip works great and its counter sunk along with the clip screws. Blade shape extremely practical, jimping is not my favorite does not grip the skin. The flippers and finger hole are in the right spot for me to launch out the blade. Detent is a bit on the light side. When unlocking the knife it has a small amount of lock stick just enough to trust that the lock works so Im fine with that. Two things I would change on this knife, one the look and two it needs a finger choil. If I grab the knife my index finger sits to far back from the blade and if I choke up my middle finger sits in the grove of the handle leaving my index finger well over the blade. A finger choil would help aid room on the handle as the grove slightly dictates your grip options.
One issue I have had with this knife is that the button unscrewed its self from the plunger coming off completely, by luck it popped off in my pocket and I was able to screw it back on. Over all I would give this knife 9/10.
As for the service from AC, in my eyes its the best in the business. Iv purchased a list of knives way to many to list, ALL from AC and every time I get a hand written note from Mitch. I put my orders in on a Monday and by Friday they are in my hands East to West of Australia and thats with the poor postal service we have here, I dont know how you do it so fast? The next knife I will buy from AC will be the Civivi Altus wood handle. Over all I would give 11/10 for the service I receive from ALL the staff at AC!!!
