When I measured it, it was not quite 3.25” I tend to really like knives about that size, so it is OK with me.

close to 3.25" ain't a bad size. I prefer 3.5" and up myself.

I do think it's funny them calling it original xl though. I tend to think of cold steel big blade folder as xl....

NICCCEE!! I got an Original coming..
But USPS decided it needed a tour of the country.. At one point it was 30 miles from my house here in Pa but decided to ship it to Ga where its been hanging out the past few days.

If for nothing else, I love it that Kizer is making quality 154cm blades available at less than $100, and often less than $90.

I measured the blade, and it is 3 1/8” unless Kizer is measuring from the pivot.

I re-measured it with a thin and flat aluminum ruler. The blade is indeed 3.25”.
