0,00 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Kizer Renissance Blue Richlite, Satin Böhler N690 by Caleb Waldman – an elegant EDC folder with a Button Liner Lock™
The Kizer Renissance V3698A3 is a folding knife designed by Caleb Waldman, conceived as a lightweight, slim EDC folder with minimalist lines. The Sheepsfoot blade, satin finish, and blue Richlite handle create a calm, modern configuration for everyday carry.
The model features the Kizer Button Liner Lock™ locking mechanism, Thumb Stud opening, and a reversible deep-carry clip. Ball bearings ensure smooth blade opening, while steel spacer sleeves streamline the handle design without making it overly bulky.
Böhler N690 – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
The blade is made of Böhler N690 stainless steel with a hardness of 58–61 HRC. This grade is well-known in EDC knives and valued for its practical combination of corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and a stable cutting edge. After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly.
Sheepsfoot and flat grind
The Sheepsfoot profile facilitates controlled cutting, especially when opening packages, working with cardboard, tape, and lightweight materials. The flat grind facilitates smooth blade guidance, and the satin finish highlights the clean, crisp line of the blade.
Blue Richlite and Kizer Button Liner Lock™
The handle is made of blue Richlite, a composite of resin-soaked paper layers pressed under high pressure. This material gives the folder an elegant, slightly technical look. The enlarged lock button makes it easier to operate the Kizer Button Liner Lock™, and the right/left tip-up clip allows you to adjust the carrying side to your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Böhler N690 steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Böhler N690 responds well to regular sharpening using whetstones, ceramic sharpeners, or a guided sharpening system.
How does the Kizer Button Liner Lock™ work?

What is the Sheepsfoot blade good for?
