LionSteel SR22 Bronze Titanium, Satin Sleipner by Molletta (SR22 B)

SR22 Bronze Titanium, Satin Blade lightweight and durable compact E.D.C. folder from Italian manufactory LionSteel with exclusive Solid® technology. 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.

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 experimentation in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in knife design.

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 and clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The smooth Plain blade has a Flat Grind that perfectly displays the matte satin 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.

Solid Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic lock of the blade made of Ergal aluminum. One of the facings acting as a locking mechanism is reinforced with hardened steel insert preventing abrasion of the lock face.

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 - brown color. Made of a unique block (one piece) of solid titanium 6AI4V machined in accordance with Solid® Knife technology machined in 4D. This results in a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. The grip facings are CNC machined for a non-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 the line.

Case - the knife is packed in a soft leather case with embossed manufacturer's logo. Fastened with a Prym snap, the case is stitched on the edges with decorative thread.
