Description

LNSR22AOS: SR-22A OS Folding Knife, Orange Aluminum

LionSteel

The SR-22 is the smaller brother to the SR-11 which was the evolution of the historic SR-1 model and winner of the Most Innovative Imported Design at BLADE Show 2010. The improved design features include the flipper opening with ball bearing pivot system - two ball bearings facilitating the opening and closing of the blade - and a tungsten carbide window breaker. Moreover, as its predecessor did, the SR-22 features a Rotoblock system, which blocks the frame in the open position allowing the user to use the design without fear of unlocking the blade, no matter what. The single piece aluminum frame is a unique piece, which is also available in titanium, completely worked with 4-axis machining for additional grip. The replaceable lockbar insert is made of stainless steel in order to avoid wear of the aluminum frame body. The deep carry bayonet style pocket clip is reversible and can be mounted on both sides for ambidextrous tip-up carry. This is an excellent design showing the continuing improvements LionSteel makes to their products to always keep on the cutting edge within the industry.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Lock Type, Overall Quality, Pocket Clip, Weight
Cons: None
I agree with Michael, But...
I have had an Titanium SR2 in my pocket everyday for 14 years, and it has been used hard and daily. I was a bit apprehensive about the Sliepner Steel, but as time went on it became a non-issue. Whether working in Construction, Irrigation, or in the Greenhouse, it never disappoints. The blade is now worn so much, that I will be purchasing another very soon. I thought about a Benchmade Mini Crooked River, but after holding both in my hands, I feel the fit and finish on the Lionsteel is much more aligned for heavy use, compared to that of the Benchmade. It is a beautiful, hard working knife.

Beautifully finished knife
There are knives that you buy to work hard and knives that are so beautifully made you just enjoy looking at them. This knife is among the latter. Every aspect of this knife is so well finished it feels of quality. Ever millimeter of the blade has been rounded and polished.Of course I wanted the polished titanium but the aluminum handle is just as pretty and half the price. The integral handle is so pretty it'd make beautiful Christmas tree ornaments! I got the orange and thankfully I'd say it's more burnt orange or nearly bronze.Admittedly the pocket clip is underwhelming but it's probably coming off anyway.A great knife but I doubt you'll want it for hard use.
