LionSteel SR22A Black Aluminum, Satin Sleipner by Molletta (SR22A BS)

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

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

Sleipner - a chrome-molybdenum-vanadium, high-alloy universal tool steel blade with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured in Uddeholm steelworks in Sweden.

Blade - with Drop Point profile with clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with Flat Grind for an excellent satin matte finish. The IKBS assisted flipper/projection on the underside of the blade makes opening the blade easy. In the open position the projection acts as a hilt, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade.

IKBS - (ball bearing system) enables fast and smooth opening of the blade.

Blockade - solid Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic lock of the blade made of Ergal aluminum. One of the facings serving as a locking mechanism was reinforced with hardened steel insert.

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

Handle - made with Solid® Knife technology, derived from a single piece of Ergal aluminum, machined in 4D. This results in a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. The grip facings were CNC machined to obtain an anti-slip texture. Two-position left / right compact clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Bolted to the aluminum frame with a tungsten carbide screw/glass breaker. In the back of the linings lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.
