Feist is going to be very popular.
Ultra slim and light (2.5 ounces) package with a blade length of 2.83" (0.11" thick) of S35VN, full titanium frame lock with steel insert and ceramic bearings flipper probably with a street price of around $180.

I didn't think of it in terms of the Hinderer stop pin/thumb lugs. Then, this is just the first time I've seen it done this way

Can we know what grind the Feist is please? Hoping for FFG rather than Hollow personally. If it is FFG my wallet doesn't stand a chance!
With the smooth curve of the grind line on the blade it looks like hollow.

I am excited for a chance to get a front flipper. I wanted a Gareth Bull but haven't sprung for one yet. Apparently these front flippers are all the rage in South African knife making circles.
I handled the Boker Excalibur at my knife shop but was not impressed with the flipping action.

Looking at videos of it, the grind looks flat to me. Or a really, really subtle hollow.

Yeah I'm thinking it's just the curve as the blade enters the grind which gives the impression of a hollow. After that it looks flat. Here's to hoping!

I would also like to know if the Feist comes with a Ti pocket clip, or a pocket clip at all?

Milled Ti pocket clip, check the designer's Instagram profile for more pictures.

This knife is listed as being a slip joint at BladeHQ: Kizer Lunquist Feist Slip Joint Knife (2.8" Satin) Ki3499. It's obvious from the pictures that it's a framelock, just thought I'd point that out

Blade grind hollow. Aaaaaargh!
Oh well, saved me some money.
Please note that my loathing for hollow grind is personal and not intended to annoy anyone.
BladeHQ is often wrong about blade grinds (they're not the only retailer who is, in their defense), visually it doesn't look at all like a hollow grind to me in photos or videos.

Would be nice if Kizer would confirm either way here.
