LionSteel Twain Folder
Item #: LIO-TWBLCF
$335.00
LionSteel received the "Manufacturing Quality Award" at the 2024 Blade Show Atlanta with this folder. The Twain is a button-lock folder with a handle frame of blue anodized titanium. The frame is milled from a solid piece of titanium and then anodized. The handle scale, or scales, is milled from a solid piece of carbon fiber and crosses over the back of the handle. This unusal construction method (SOLID®) has created an unusually strong folder handle. High precision milling work is required in order for the frame and scale to perfectly fit together, ensuring both the quality of operation and the final aesthetics.
The 3-1⁄8" drop point blade is satin finished CPM MagnaCut stainless at 60-62 Rc. The handle frame is blue anodized titanium with carbon fiber scales. A button lock secures the blade in the open position. The pocket clip is reversible for a tip-up right or left hand carry. Measures 4-1⁄8" closed. Weighs 3.1 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.
