ABOUT KIZER   Want a Kizer?  Get it now at BladeHQ

Kizer is the youngest brand in the Top 25. The company is based in Guangzhou, the manufacturing center located in Southern China. Kizer is known for producing high-quality, original designs at affordable prices. Kizer uses advanced CNC technology and wire EDM cutting tools for a precise fit and finish. The company does not currently produce any fixed blade knives and most of its folders feature titanium frame locks. Kizer imports its materials from the USA and Japan including Crucible’s CPM-S35VN steel.

 

ABOUT THE SURVEY

We surveyed involved production knife enthusiasts and asked them to list as many production knife brands as they could remember to gauge brand awareness. 24 out of 175 respondents were able to recall Kizer and of the 24, 1 did so within their first 3 responses. The average survey respondent was able to recall 12 knife brands and in total 167 brands were recalled.

Research indicates that there is a relationship between brand recall and market share, because in most buying situations a brand must be prominent in the mind of a buyer in order for them to consider purchasing it.

The survey, which was also the basis for our Infographic, did not measure brand esteem or brand identity and has nothing to do with what knife people think about the brands. Instead, it provides an indication of how widely the brand is known and if it has a strong place in the minds of involved production knife enthusiasts.
