Kizer Lupercalia Gray Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Stonewashed/Brushed Flats M390 by L.F – an elegant premium folder with a Frame Lock

The Kizer Lupercalia ZX-FK07A1 is a full-size folding knife designed by L.F., combining modern construction with an elegant, refined design. The Drop Point blade made of Böhler M390 steel, featuring a mixed grind, and the titanium handle with carbon fiber inserts create a lightweight and rigid construction designed for everyday carry.

The model features a Front Flipper opening mechanism, a ball-bearing pivot, and a Frame Lock. A titanium clip for right-side carry in a tip-up configuration, a titanium backspacer, and a refined stonewashed blade finish with brushed surfaces emphasize the more exclusive character of this folding knife.

Böhler M390 – Steel for Demanding EDC

The blade is made of Böhler M390 steel hardened to 59–61 HRC. The material is distinguished by its high corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention, making it well-suited for EDC knives, where long-lasting sharpness and minimal need for frequent sharpening are key.

Drop Point and Mixed Grind

The Drop Point profile provides a versatile edge profile and a well-controlled tip. The mixed grind combines different geometries within a single blade, allowing its properties to be better adapted to a variety of tasks while giving the blade a distinctive appearance.

Stonewashed with brushed surfaces

The blade is finished using the stonewashed method, leaving brushed surfaces. This combination creates a distinct contrast in surface texture and highlights the geometry of the grind, while also helping to minimize the visibility of minor signs of everyday use.

Titanium and Carbon Fiber

The handle is made of titanium and features carbon fiber inserts. The combination of both materials ensures high rigidity with a reasonable weight and gives the knife an elegant, modern character suitable for a more prestigious EDC.

Frame Lock – a sturdy blade lock

Frame Lock uses a section of the titanium handle frame as a locking element to hold the blade in the open position. It is a simple and durable design that complements the materials and character of this full-size premium folding knife.

Front Flipper and Ball Bearings

The Front Flipper is used for opening, featuring jimping that improves finger contact with the blade protrusion. The pivot pin runs on ball bearings, which supports smooth movement and allows for comfortable one-handed operation of the knife.

Titanium backspacer and clip

The handle design is complemented by a titanium backspacer in a gray-and-gold color scheme and a titanium clip. The clip is designed to be worn on the right side of the handle in a tip-up configuration, ensuring material consistency with the rest of the design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of Böhler M390 steel?

M390 is distinguished by its high corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention. This makes it well-suited for EDC knives that need to stay sharp for a long time.

What does “mixed grind” mean?

A mixed grind combines different grinding geometries on a single blade. This allows for varying properties in different zones of the blade and gives the blade a more complex geometry.

How does the Frame Lock work?

The Frame Lock uses a section of the handle frame that, when opened, engages behind the base of the blade and locks it in the open position. It’s a simple and durable design often used in folding knives with titanium handles.

Can the Kizer Lupercalia be opened with one hand?

Yes. The jimped front flipper allows you to open the blade with your index finger, and ball bearings ensure the smooth operation of the entire mechanism.

Can the clip be moved to the left side?

No. The clip is designed to be worn on the right side of the handle in the tip-up configuration.
