Kizer PCB Knives Are Back: Microbe in Rex45, Drop Bear in CruWear and More Land in a Second Community-Announced Round

If you missed Kizer's PCB knives the first time, the second round is here — and this time the community is helping you not miss it. A r/knifeclub member posted a heads-up in the early hours of September 9: Kizer had just released another batch of its printed-circuit-board-themed knives about 40 minutes earlier on the brand's website, roughly a week after the collection first appeared. The caption carried the important context: they sold out fairly quickly last time, so anyone still hunting one should move now.

The PCB family is one of Kizer's most distinctive design experiments of the year. Each knife in the lineup uses handle scales that fuse resin with real circuit board — every trace and node frozen into a map of technology, as the brand puts it — turning a piece of e-waste-adjacent material into a geeky collector's item. Mechanically, the collection rides on Kizer's button liner lock, the push-button mechanism the brand has been rolling out across multiple platforms, which gives the whole family a consistent, fidget-friendly personality regardless of size or steel.

This round is a four-model spread with real steel variety. The Microbe PCB (2742BDA1) is the pocket-sized entry at $119, dressed in black PVD with CPM Rex45 — the cobalt-tungsten powder steel famous for extreme edge retention. The Drop Bear PCB (KI3619BDA7) upgrades Kizer's beloved crossbar-lock-style model to CPM CruWear at $129, a tougher, more impact-resistant choice. On the BD1N side, the Begleiter PCB lands at $95.96 and the Madrac PCB at $99.96, giving budget buyers two familiar platforms with the circuit-board treatment. The mix means the restock has something for the steel snob and the collector alike.

What makes this drop notable beyond the knives themselves is the rhythm Kizer is establishing. Dealer exclusives and themed runs have been landing nearly every week — White Mountain Halloween editions, Blade District runs, and now a second wave of a flagship in-house design — and the PCB line sold out quickly enough the first time that the community is actively watching for round three. If the geek-chic look appeals to you, this is the moment to check Kizer's site before the sold-out markers return.
