217,08 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
SR22A Orange Aluminum, Black Blade (Solid folding knife) by Italian manufactory LionSteel. A smaller version of the SR11 folding knife, which was an evolution of the historic SR-1 model and winner of the most innovative design at the Blade Show. Lightweight and durable with exclusive Solid Knife technology, the E.D.C. compact folder.
Design by Molletta, fruit of a collaboration with a well-known and respected designer with 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 the design of knives.
Sleipner - a chrome-molybdenum-vanadium, high-alloy universal tool steel blade with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured in Uddeholm steelworks in Sweden.
Blade - with Drop Point profile and clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The Plain blade has a Flat Grind, which perfectly shows off the matte black Mil Spec finish. The IKBS assisted flipper/projection on the underside of the blade makes it easy to open the blade. In the open position the projection acts as a hilt, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade.
IKBS - (ball bearing system) enables fast and smooth opening of the blade.
Solid Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic lock of the blade made of Ergal aluminum. One of the facings serving as a locking mechanism was reinforced with hardened steel insert.
RotoLock - lock with patented additional locking mechanism in the shape of titanium shield by Gianni Pauletta. When the knife is open, turning the RotoLock approximately 1/8 of a turn clockwise wedges the locking mechanism, preventing unintentional release of the blade lock, provides the same stability of the blade as in knives with a fixed blade.
Handle - orange colored. Made in Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a single piece of aluminum Ergal, machined in 4D. Thanks to this obtained monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element. The grip facings were CNC machined to obtain an anti-slip texture. Two-position left / right compact clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Bolted to the aluminum frame with a tungsten carbide screw/glass breaker. In the back of the linings lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.
