We have investigated the magnetic phase diagram near the upper critical field of KFe2As2 by magnetic torque and specific heat experiments, using a high-resolution piezo-rotary positioner to precisely control the parallel orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the FeAs layers. We observe a clear double transition when the field is oriented strictly in-plane, and a characteristic upturn of the upper critical field line well beyond the Pauli limit at 4.7 T. This provides firm evidence that an FFLO state is realized in this iron-based KFe2As2 superconductor.
