LionSteel SR22A Aluminum Black / Satin Blade Folding Knife (SR22A BS)

SR22A Aluminum Black / Satin Blade (Solid folding knife) by Italian manufactory LionSteel. A smaller version of the folding knife SR11, which was an evolution of the historic model SR-1 and winner of the most innovative design at the Blade Show. Lightweight and durable with exclusive technology Solid Knife compact folder E.D.C.

Design by Molletta, fruit of cooperation with a well-known and respected designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (ps. Molletta), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experimentation in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in the design of knives.

Sleipner - blade made of chrome-molybdenum-vanadium high-alloy universal tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness 60-61 HRC. Manufactured at Swedish steel plant Uddeholm.

Head - Drop Point with a clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Plain blade Plain brought out flat grind (Flat Grind), which perfectly presents a matte satin finishing. Located on the underside of the head projection / flipper, supported by IKBS facilitates the opening of the wedge. In the open position projection performs the function of intestine, protecting your hand from slipping on the blade.

IKBS - (ball bearing system) allows fast, smooth opening of the wedge.

Solid Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic blade lock made of erg aluminumal. One of the facings acting as the locking mechanism is reinforced with a hardened steel insert.

RotoLock - locking mechanism with a patented additional locking mechanism in the shape of a titanium disc by Gianni Pauletta. When the knife is open, turning the RotoLock by about 1/8 turn clockwise wedges the locking mechanism, preventing unintentional release of the blade lock, ensures the stability of the blade identical to that of knives with a fixed blade.

Handle - made with technology Solid® Knife, obtained from a single piece of ergal aluminum, processed in 4D. As a result, a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength was obtained, which is a solid structural element. The grip facings were machined CNC obtaining a non-slip texture. Two-position left/right compact clip allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up (tip up). Bolted to aluminum frame by means of screw / nailer for beating glass made of tungsten carbide. In the back of the cladding lanyard hole, cable hole.
