LionSteel Knife SR11A Orange Aluminium, Satin Sleipner by Molletta (SR11A OS)

SR11A Orange Aluminum, Satin folding knife by Italian manufactory LionSteel with exclusive Solid Knife technology. A lightweight and durable highly technological folder, it represents the historic evolution of the iconic SR1. Winner of the knife of the year award at the Blade Show. Comes with pivot-pin-adjustment tool, a wrench to adjust the folder.

Design by Molletta, effect of a collaboration with a well-known and respected 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.

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 - massive, Drop Point type with clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The Plain blade was derived with a Flat Grind, which perfectly presents a matte 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, it serves as a lower guard for the one-sided hilt to protect the hand from slipping off the handle.

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

Solid Frame-Lock - a reinforced, monolithic Ergal aluminum blade lock. One of the grips acts as the locking mechanism and is reinforced with a hardened steel insert.

RotoLock - a 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 - orange in color. Made with Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a single piece of Ergal aluminum, machined in 4D. As a result, a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength was obtained, which is a solid structural element. The grip grips 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 grips lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.
