LNSK01AES: SK01A ES Skinny Integral Flipper Knife, Earth Aluminum

LionSteel

Introducing Skinny, the cutting-edge EDC folding knife revolutionizing the market in 2024. Crafted with groundbreaking SOLID technology, each knife boasts a handle milled from a single solid piece of titanium or aluminum, ensuring unparalleled strength and durability. Titanium models feature sleek carbon fiber inlays, while aluminum variations showcase stylish Micarta designs. Weighing lightly and fitting effortlessly into any pocket, Skinny is a perfect everyday companion. Its CPM-MagnaCut steel blade, available in stonewash or OldBlack finishes, promises precision and longevity. Reinforced with a hardened steel insert, the lock bar ensures secure usage, while the IKBS ball bearing system facilitates smooth opening and closing motions. Plus, the innovative REF (Removable flipper) system allows for customizable functionality, giving users the option to remove the flipper with ease using the provided T6 torx tool. Designed by Molletta, Skinny comes complete with a versatile steel clip that can be positioned on either side of the frame using the included "U-Tool," offering ultimate convenience and adaptability straight out of the box.

Very happy with purchase!
Although the Skinny is the most expensive folding knife I have ever purchased, you have to factor in the value of the Teraxe that they included. I have liked the Civivi Praxis for a long time and would consider buying one, so the Teraxe was a good fit for me. My Skinny is a classy gentleman's knife that is flawless. I love the Earth Brown color, integral aluminum handle, the stonewashed blade that I can't get a fingerprint to show up on, the total lack of jimping with a wide crowned spine. It is light enough to be a premium summer shorts carry. I do not like the removable flipper tab as it is attractive but it introduces an extra screw that is unnecessary to me in the USA, or the Bolted on pocket clip (Yes I said Bolted on.); I wish they had used a classier methos of attachment. As for the Teraxe, it fits my hand like a glove and my copy was flawless. Although it is heavy at about 5 ounces, the weight feels great in hand and feels like a solid work knife. The chamfering is particularly comfortable and makes you want to go cut something.

This knife will be in my EDC rotation. First Lionstreel folder and I am very impressed. Fit and finish is at least as good as my Benchmades and Spydercos. No blade play. Opening is quick and crisp.
