LionSteel KUR G10 Orange / Stone Washed Blade Folding Knife (KUR OR)

KUR G10 Orange / Stone Washed Blade, a lightweight, handy and durable E.D.C. folder by the Italian LionSteel manufactory. Winner of the prestigious Overall Knife of The Year award from Blade magazine at the Blade Show.

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 experiments in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in knife design.

Sleipner - a blade in high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium universal tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness of 60-61 HRC. Manufactured in Uddeholm steelworks in Sweden.

Head - with Drop Point profile with marked belly for excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The Plain blade has a full Flat Grind, which perfectly shows off the fine scratch masking, Stone Washed matte finish.

ReF - (Removable Flipper System) located on the underside of the blade protrusion / flipper fin assisted by Double Crown makes it easy to open the blade with one hand.  It consists of a small lever (projection) protruding beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed. In the open position the protrusion acts as a hilt, protecting the hand against slipping on the blade. In the folder it is possible to unscrew the Removable Flipper System lever (unscrew the flipper fin and then insert the second screw located 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.

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

Handle - steel liners with 3D machined G10 plastic liners in trendy orange colour are attached to the 6AI4V solid titanium spacer (backspacer / liner connector). The right-hand compact deep-pocket wire clip allows you to carry the knife deep in your pocket (discreetly) in tip-up position. The exposed steel head with lanyard hole, a rope hole can, as a last resort, be used as a hammer or glass breaker.
