Kizer Mithril Button Lock Folding Knife Hand Brushed DLC Ultra M390 Tanto/Titanium & FatCarbon ZX-FK08A2

Power, precision, and next-level engineering collide in the Kizer Mithril Button Lock Folding Knife. Built to push the limits of modern folder design, the Mithril delivers a bold mix of advanced materials, tight machining, and rock-solid lock strength. This isn’t just another everyday carry—it’s a high-performance cutting tool designed to feel fast, confident, and absolutely dependable every time it hits your hand.

The Mithril runs on Kizer’s groundbreaking L.F. KineticFit Button Lock system, engineered specifically to overcome the weaknesses found in traditional button locks. A reinforced lock pillar paired with a proprietary pillar ramp design creates an incredibly solid lockup that actively compensates for wear over time. The result is a vault-tight feel with virtually no blade play, even after heavy use. When the blade locks in, it stays there with unwavering strength and precision.

Its 3.5-inch blade is crafted from premium M390 stainless steel with factory-authorized heat treatment, delivering elite edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance that holds up through serious work. Precision blade grinding keeps the edge keen and efficient, while the 3.5mm blade thickness provides the strength to tackle tougher tasks with confidence.

The handle balances strength and carry comfort through internal CNC weight reduction, keeping the knife around 108 grams while maintaining a solid, full-hand grip. An integrated DLC Ultra coating covers the blade, handle, and button pillar, reducing friction, boosting wear resistance, and helping eliminate lock stick for consistently smooth deployment. The button itself features a fluorescent resin inlay, creating a glowing “eye” that’s easy to locate in low-light situations.

A specialized pivot system with a fitted bearing cover helps keep dust, lint, and pocket debris out of the bearing track, ensuring the Mithril maintains smooth, reliable action even after long days of carry.
