Some Italian steel

[Richard Simmons]

First off allow me to apologize for the scanned photos, no camera at the moment. This is my new Lion Steel SR-1A from Italy. It's 3.7" of D2 steel with solid, milled aluminum body and roto lock as well as a glassbreaker on the end and a lowrider clip. The roto lock allows you so lock the lockbar so the blade can't be folded. Essentially making your folder into a fixed blade.

The original SR-1 had a solid titanimum body and is about double the price of this one. I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Pretty stiff, they include a tool to adjust the pivot but I think I will see how it breaks in before adjusting anything.

Sweet blade.

They were doing a Nutnfancy special edition with a lavender handle and a clip point blade. It looked nice.

Sweet looking blade Richard. I like wide blades on my folders.

Thanks for the compliments. I kind of like the new TiSpine Lionsteel is coming out with but it's a little too small for my tastes at 3.3". Love the way it looks and I probably shouldn't be put off by the shorter blade, I just like the 3.5"-4" range for my folders. If the price drops over time I might get one anyway though the owner says it will not be produced in large numbers so the price may not drop unless the dollar gains against the Euro.

Here's some nice pics on the original SR-1. It shows more of the body and how it's milled from a solid piece. Only difference is mine is aluminum instead of titanium and mine is D2 steel instead of Sleipner.

Looks like a good sturdy working blade, much handier than all those blister making clumsy to use Rambo knives out there.

Bella!

I like the blade locking feature and the glass breaker is also a very useful component.

Not to mention it's a very nice looking knife. :)
