- Thrill Black Aluminium, Satin M390 folder of the LionSteel manufactory with Solid® technology. Proof of the high development of know-how in knife production. The perfect tool for cutting jobs with the SlipJoint mechanism which is legal in most.
Thrill Black Aluminum, Satin ultralight, classic folder of the Italian manufactory LionSteel with handle manufactured in Solid® technology. Proof of the high technological development used in the production of knives. Equipped with SlipJoint mechanism, "no lock", built from one piece of material. An excellent tool for most cutting jobs, socially friendly, legal in most countries.
Design by Molletta, designed by a well-known and respected Italian designer with years of experience. Michele Pensato (a.k.a. Molletta), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experiments in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in the design of knives.
M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its 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), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
SlipJoint - "no lock" non-locking mechanism used in folders. Uses spring pressure on a flat notch on the back of the blade to keep the blade open during use. Slip Joint holds the blade in both folded and unfolded positions. Force is required to fold/unfold the knife.
IKBS - ball bearing system, allows fast and smooth opening of the blade.
Blade - Drop Point type provides excellent cutting edge geometry. Plain blade has a Full Flat Grind, which emphasizes the satin matte finish of the blade. Knife is opened with double sided nail nick on the blade.
Handle - made of a single block of Ergal aluminum machined with Solid® Knife technology. Using CNC machine tools resulted in a lightweight, monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. Non-slip cover texture for a better grip.
H.WAYL - (Hide What Annoys You Lionsteel) hidden right side clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Retracting the clip is done only with the push of a button. A solution appreciated during long-term use of the knife, when the classic protruding clip can interfere with work.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
