The kitsune L. Features a larger, sharper blade design than previous models. It's also the same weight, thanks to its voided handle. This void creates greater grip ability by the user. The best upgrade, though, is the Bohler N690 steel. The rust resistance and edge retention of this steel is amazing. I clipped this blade into my shorts pocket while swimming and river rafting at camp for a week. We swam nearly 5 hrs every day during that week. The L was used and abused doing camp chores and handled all tasks well, if not better than expected. This will become a quick favorite edc due to its versatility and compact yet large feeling size.
The knife is designed by Jeremy Boulder Valentine-owner and operator of Valavian edge craft LLC.
