Ambidextrous dual thumb studs provide quick, intuitive deployment, keeping the knife accessible and ready for action.

The handle pairs durable G-10 construction with a tactile radial milling pattern that adds visual character and a confident grip. Every detail reinforces the Kitsari's balance of form and function, creating a knife that feels purpose-built without sacrificing everyday practicality.
