LionSteel T.R.E. Grey Titanium / Blue Ti, Stone Washed M390 by Molletta (TRE BL)

T.R.E. Grey Titanium / Blue Ti, Stone Washed excellent E.D.C. knife by Italian manufactory LionSteel, equipped with Three Rapid Exchange system. In addition, it comes with a KKS 68 wrench, a key ring with Torx T6 and Torx T8 bits for adjusting the folder, Flipper, Thum Stud disk and clip. Winner of Blade magazine's prestigious Overall Knife of The Year award at the 2015 Blade Show.

Three Rapid Exchange - a patented system with three different ways to open the blade. Full version with Thumb Stud disk and Flipper. Intermediate version with Thumb Disc or Flipper. Basic version without Filpper and without Thumb Disc, useful in countries where there is a ban on one-handed blade knives in public places.

Design by Molletta, designed by a well-known and respected Italian designer with many 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.

M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, subjected to vacuum and cryogenic treatments and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Drop Point finished in an elegant Satin method. Plain blade derived with Flat Grind which gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Frame-Lock reinforced monolithic 6AI4V titanium blade lock, one of the grip linings acts as a locking mechanism. Located on the underside of the blade, the IKBS-assisted protrusion / flipper makes it easier to open the blade. In the open position it serves as a lower guard / hilt protecting the hand from slipping off the handle. In the upper part, the characteristic milling used to open the knife with the Flipper and Thumb Discie removed.

IKBS - ball bearing system to improve the opening and closing of the knife. Allows smooth and fast opening of the blade.

Handle - 3D-machined solid titanium bolted to a CNC-milled titanium backspacer, which means the practical indestructibility of such a construction. Thanks to the treatment, the titanium acquires a characteristic texture that improves grip security. A double-sided (left/right), blue anodized 6AL-4V titanium clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up (tip up) position. Above the clip is a lanyard hole, an oval hole for a cord.
