Kizer Madrac Vortex – Blue & Orange Micarta / 14C28N KIV3693BSA2
🔵🟠 Kizer Madrac Vortex – Blue & Orange Micarta / 14C28N
KIV3693BSA2
Some knives are designed to disappear into your pocket.
The Kizer Madrac Vortex didn’t get that memo.
This thing comes dressed in a seriously eye-catching blue-and-orange Micarta handle, backed up by a 3” satin-finished Sandvik 14C28N sheepsfoot blade.
And that’s a combination I can get behind.
At 4.38” closed, the Madrac gives you a substantial handle while keeping the blade at a very EDC-friendly 3 inches.
That blade is flat ground, giving you a nice cutting geometry for cardboard, packages, rope, straps, and all the other stuff a pocket knife ends up dealing with.
And Kizer chose 14C28N stainless steel.
That’s one of my favorite steels to see on an affordable working knife. You get a great balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, edge performance, and relatively easy sharpening without having to pay premium-steel money.
Then there’s that handle.
The combination of blue and orange Micarta gives the Vortex a wild look without turning it into a novelty knife. It’s colorful, different, and definitely not another plain black EDC.
For deployment, you’ve got a thumb stud, along with Kizer’s button liner-lock setup, and a pocket clip keeps it ready for everyday carry.

This is the kind of modern EDC I like seeing Kizer make.
You’ve got a blade steel I actually trust in 14C28N, a practical 3-inch sheepsfoot blade, Micarta handles, and a button liner-lock—all wrapped up in a knife that doesn’t look like everything else on the table.
And that blue-and-orange Micarta is going to get some attention.
This isn’t one of those knives where the wild handle is covering up bargain-basement materials, either.
14C28N + Micarta + Kizer construction is a pretty darn good recipe for an everyday carry.
Use it.
Carry it.
Fidget with it.
Or just stare at that crazy handle for a while.
The Madrac Vortex is different in all the right ways. 🚛🔪
