LionSteel Twain Blue Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Satin MagnaCut by Gianni Pauletta (TW BL CF)

Twain Blue Titanium / Carbon Fiber, Satin this folding knife in which innovation meets tradition gained recognition at the Blade Show knife fair winning the Manufacturing Quality Award of The Year 2024. The compact folder, the result of combining Italian craftsmanship with the latest technologies is the work of Gianni Pauletta, owner and CEO of LionSteel . Handle made with “Solid 2” technology, which uses a single block of titanium to create the knife's monolithic frame, providing unparalleled strength and stability. An innovation is the execution of the same technology with overlapping grips made of a different material. LionSteel, an Italian manufactory 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.

CPM MagnaCut - powder stainless steel produced by 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 an elegant satin finish. Plain blade is led out with a Flat Grind which gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened via a hole in the blade or by gravity. The whole thing is locked with a solid button lock.

Handle - made with Solid® Knife technology , obtained from a single piece of 6AI4V titanium, machined by CNC digital machine tools . This yields a monolithic exoskeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. Over this are applied grips made with the same technology from a single piece 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. In the back there is a lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.
