Lion Steel SOLID Technology Lockback - Black - Carbon Fiber
Item #: LIO-TM1CB
$255.00
Following the production of the previous two SOLID® Knife Technology models, the SR1 and TiSpine which are both frame-locks, LionSteel decided to create a lockback using this same SOLID® Technology. The handle of each SOLID® knife is made from a single piece of material; be it Titanium, Aluminum, Carbon Fiber or Micarta®. The huge jump forward in the technology is the use of a four-centreline machining station that allows the entire handle to be machined in one operation.
The 3-1/2" modified clip point blade is black coated Swedish Uddeholm Sleipner at 60-61 Rc. It pivots on two ball bearings (IKBS- Ikoma Korth Bearing System) for smooth opening and closing. The reversible pocket clip (for tip up carry) and a flat thumb disc allow for complete ambidextrous use. Lockback. Measures 4-1/2" closed and weighs 5.1 oz. Made in Maniago, Italy.

Lion Steel
Maniago, located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of the Provinces of Pordenone in northeastern Italy, is an area known for its production of steel blades and boasts about being the home several famous knife manufacturers such as Lion Steel.
Lion Steel was founded in 1969 by Gino Pauletta, a family business that has continued to grow under the operation of his 3 sons since the late 1990's. The company's name is derived from the combination of a Lion stone sculpture carved by Gino's grandfather, and steel, which is the fundamental component of a knife.
Lion Steel knives are made in the long-standing Maniago tradition. They have combined traditional Italian design elements and production techniques with modern methods to produce beautifully crafted knives from the heart of Italian knife making country.
