This mini version is made of G-10 in Black with a white insert and a white backspacer. Instead of the original frame lock, this one is equipped with a liner lock.
Lätt Vind is Swedish, meaning "light breeze". Kizer made this knife to be a lightweight, gentleman's knife. The aesthetic of the front and back flippers fit perfectly with the lines and construction of the knife. The overall appearance looks clean and cut. This dual flipper knife is equipped with a smooth ball bearing system to achieve quick opening and closing action. The flat ground blade is a spear point shape in a satin finish.

I've made many purchases from Blade HQ and honestly haven't actually disliked any knife I've ordered. Maybe I'm not very picky or easily satisfied. I'm not going to say this is the best knife I've held but I like it enough to know I'll be buying more Kizer knives soon! Came sharp as hell! I mean sharper than any other blade I've bought so far for sure! The N690 is decent mid-grade steel which shouldn't need sharpening much. I haven't had to sharpen mine yet. But also it is a fairly light-duty knife so I haven't done anything too rough with it. The handle is very thin so it rides amazing in the pocket. Literally can forget it's even there! The ergos are meh, but that's expected. And even though it's very thin it isn't as fragile as you'd think. It'll hold up to a strong grip. I love how there's a front And back flipper! That's actually the reason I decided to buy it! Although both aren't the best actions by far, they aren't hard to use at all either. Definitely fidget-friendly! Would recommend buying
This is a very, very light knife. The action is rather difficult to work especially with the back flipper. It can be done but it takes a bit of practice and some weird hand contortions to get it to work. Blade is super sharp and pleasingly rounded on the spine and the cutout on the side where you access the liner lock is something i wish was on every knife with that lock type. That being said the scale edges are rather thin to the point of being uncomfortable to grip with any strength. Overall then a light knife for light use and nothing more.
