LionSteel Skinny Bronze Titanium/Gold Dark Matter Carbon Fiber, Stonewashed MagnaCut by Molletta Knife (SK01 BR)

Skinny Bronze Titanium/Gold Dark Matter Carbon Fiber, Stonewashed, a folding knife in which innovation meets tradition. The result of combining Italian craftsmanship with the latest technologies. This compact but powerful knife is the work of Michele "Mollletta" Pensato, a renowned knife designer. The Handle is made of titanium with "Solid" technology, which uses a single block of titanium to create a monolithic knife frame for unparalleled strength and stability. Italian manufactory LionSteel, known for its attention to detail, used this technology to create a knife that is both lightweight and durable. The blade is made of MagnaCut, a modern tool steel that is now considered one of the best on the market. MagnaCut has excellent corrosion resistance and exceptional cutting edge durability. This folding knife is ideal for everyday carry (EDC). Its compact size makes it easy to fit in your pocket, while still being large enough to handle most tasks. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or looking for a reliable tool for everyday tasks, this knife is for you. This is a product that deserves a place in any knife lover's collection. Discover the difference that true Italian craftsmanship and the latest technology can make. See for yourself what makes the "Skinny" so special.

Michele "Molletta" Pensato, an Italian knife designer with a passion for archaeology, has transformed his love of adventure into the high-end craft of knife design. His career began with an archaeological dig, where he realized the need for a durable knife. Known for his innovative approach to materials and experiments with heat treatment, Pensato has won numerous awards. His designs for lionSTEEL, such as the popular T5 and the award-winning SR11, are distinguished by their practicality and typically Italian rounded shapes. Knife design, although just a hobby for him, has resulted in significant contributions to the lionSTEEL collection.

CPM MagnaCut - Powdered stainless steel produced using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened between 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more "conventional" steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This exceptional steel is manufactured at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.

Blade - Drop Point finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. Plain blade brought out with a Flat Grind which gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Frame-Lock reinforced, monolithic 6AI4V titanium blade lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face. Located on the underside of the blade, the IKBS-assisted protrusion / flipper makes it easy 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 removed.

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

ReF - (Removable Flipper System) located on the underside of the blade the IKBS-assisted flipper protrusion / flipper flipper makes it easier to open the blade with one hand. It consists of a small lever (protrusion) that extends beyond the back of the Handle when the Blade is closed. In the open position, the protrusion acts as a stinger, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. In the folder, it is possible to unscrew the Removable Flipper System lever (unscrew the flipper fin, then insert the second screw included in the box) and open the blade with both hands. This is important in countries where there is a ban on knives with one-handed opening blades in public places.

Handle - made with Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a single piece of 6AI4V titanium, machined by CNC digital machine tools. This yielded a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. On the presentation side is an inlay (insert) made of Carbon Fiber composite. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! A double-sided (left/right), steel 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.

Additional accessories - a U-Tool that allows you to unscrew the bolt holding the clip.
