The Kizer Feist 3 Folder, Model ZX-3499.3A2, refines the compact Feist platform with elevated materials, clean lines, and a design that balances everyday utility with a bold, modern aesthetic. Designed by Justin Lundquist x L.F, it continues the series’ focus on precision ergonomics and efficient carry while introducing a more expressive handle composition.
At the core is a 2.75" clip point blade forged from CPM S90V stainless steel, a premium high-carbon steel known for exceptional edge retention and wear resistance. This steel is built for users who prefer long intervals between sharpenings without sacrificing cutting performance. The blade is finished in a stonewashed and flat brushed treatment, giving it a subdued, work-forward appearance that helps conceal wear while cutting glare in bright conditions. A flat grind enhances slicing efficiency and control, making the blade feel precise and capable across everyday cutting tasks.
Deployment is handled by a front flipper, maintaining a clean profile while offering fast, intuitive opening once the action is dialed in. The frame lock provides a solid, confident lockup, reinforcing the knife’s reliability under load while keeping the overall design slim and efficient.
The handle measures 3.71" and is constructed from titanium paired with camo carbon Damtanium inlays. Damtanium is a damascus and titanium blend material, combining the layered visual character of Damascus-style patterning with the strength and lightweight properties of titanium. The result is a handle that feels both structurally robust and visually dynamic, with shifting blue and purple tones that change depending on light and angle. It brings a distinct personality to the Feist 3 without compromising its functional intent.
A 3D titanium pocket clip ensures secure, discreet carry and complements the knife’s clean machining. The non-reversible design keeps the profile streamlined, reinforcing the minimal, purpose-driven build philosophy behind the Feist line.
With a hardness rating of 59–61 HRC, the S90V blade is tuned for a strong balance of toughness and edge retention, making it a dependable daily cutter that holds up over time. Every element of this knife is engineered with intention, from the compact proportions to the material pairing to the finishing work.
