Overview
FEATURES
The KizerX® Tenet: Where Precision Speaks For ItselfThe unwavering benchmark of Kizer's elite precision;The knife is our uncompromising standard for precision engineering. Defined by extreme machining tolerances and Fine-Grinding Precision Machining, every blade in this series must deliver clear and highly symmetric grind lines and bevels, as crisp and intentional as a surgical instrument.
Kizer x L.F KineticFit™ Button Lock
Overcoming Instability. Built for Wear-Compensation. The Mithril marks a milestone as our first KineticFit™ Button Lock folder to carry this ultra-robust, adaptive locking mechanism. By deploying a beefed-up lock pillar and a proprietary pillar ramp design, we have engineered our Strongest Ever button lock. This system is purpose-built for wear-compensation, systematically avoiding the "blade play" that often compromises traditional folders. It delivers a consistent and secure lock-up that remains reliable through intensive use.
The Legacy Of Mithril: Beyond The Forge Of LegendsA myth awakened. A reality forged. For centuries, "Mithril" existed only in the ink of epic chronicles - a metal prized by kings, said to be "light as a feather, yet harder than dragon scale." We didn't just want to tell the story; we wanted you to hold it. The Mithril folder is our tribute to that impossible balance. By marrying aerospace-grade precision with the soul of a relic, we've created a tool that feels lightweight in the pocket, yet solid in the hand.
Lightweight, Robust, BalancedThe Mithril features M390 steel with Official Factory-Authorized Heat Treatment, a 3.5-inch blade length, and a 3.5mm thickness. Through the integration of masterful blade grinding and ergonomic Internal CNC Weight Reduction, the total weight is kept around 108g. Even with its full-size profile, this strategic engineering ensures a solid, full-palm grip and exceptional handling for daily carry.This all-encompassing refinement ensures a build that is ultralight yet uncompromisingly durable, achieving an Exquisite Balance in both grip and operation, and the overall EDC experience.
DLC Ultra & Glowing Accents: Defying FrictionIntegrated protection for lasting performance. We applied an integrated DLC Ultra coating across the blade, handle, and button pillar. This diamond-like carbon layer is engineered to significantly reduce friction and enhance wear resistance, effectively mitigating "lock stick" for a consistently smooth deployment. The button is inlaid with Fluorescent Resin - this "Glowing Eye" ensures your Mithril is easy to locate and operate in low-light conditions.
Mastered In The Details: Ergonomic ExcellenceRefinement you can feel in every grip. The 3D Titanium pocket clip is CNC machined to blend seamlessly with the handle, ensuring comfort even during hard use. Every chamfer and texture is precision-engineered to melt into your palm, providing a secure, natural grip in any environment.
