FEATURES
KIZER X L.F KINETICFIT™ BUTTON LOCKOvercoming Instability. Built for Wear-Compensation.The Mithril marks a milestone as our KineticFit™ Button Lock folder. 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, eliminating the "blade play" of traditional folders. It delivers a bank-vault, rock-solid lock-up that remains absolutely unyielding through intensive use.
THE KIZERX® TENET: SOLIDITY SPEAKS FOR ITSELFThe unwavering benchmark of Kizer's elite precision; this knife is our uncompromising standard for heavy-duty engineering. Defined by extreme machining tolerances and Fine-Grinding Precision Machining, every component of the Mithril is engineered to fit with zero tolerance for weakness. It's not just a tool; it's a solid, rock-steady extension of your hand, as crisp and intentional as a surgical instrument.
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.
SHIELDED PIVOT: DUST-RESISTANT SYSTEMThe Mithril features a specialized pivot construction designed for long-term reliability. By integrating a dedicated bearing cover that fits precisely into the blade's circular recess, we've created a barrier that minimizes the gap where debris can enter. This design significantly reduces the accumulation of lint and dust within the bearing track, maintaining a consistent, smooth action even with frequent pocket carry.
