LionSteel SR22 Grey Titanium, Satin Sleipner by Molletta (SR22 G)

SR22 Grey Titanium, Satin (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), stands out for his 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 versatile high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance with a balanced alloy composition: chromium content of 7.8% (Cr), 0.9% carbon (C), molybdenum 2.5% (Mo) and vanadium 0.5% (V). It achieves a high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured at Uddeholm steel mill.

Blade - Drop Point type with clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Plain blade is led out with Flat Grind, which perfectly presents the elegant Satin finish. Located on the underside of the blade, the IKBS-assisted protrusion/flipper makes it easy to open the blade. In the open position, the protrusion acts as a stinger, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade.

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

Solid Frame-Lock - a reinforced, monolithic 6AI4V titanium blade lock. One of the facings acting as the locking mechanism is reinforced with a hardened steel insert.

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

Handle - made with Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a single piece of 6AI4V titanium, machined in 4D. As a result, a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength was obtained, being a solid structural element. The grip facings were CNC-machined, obtaining a non-slip texture. A two-position left/right compact clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up (tip up) position. Bolted to the aluminum frame with a tungsten carbide glass striking screw / nailer. In the back of the liners lanyard hole, a hole for a cord. Comes with a black leather sheath for storing and carrying the knife.
