This knife designed by Michele Pensato aka Molletta is great piece to invest in. The titanium handle with smooth machined grooves gives a very satisfying touch. The blade steel is amazing. The IKBS is slick but not loose with just the right feel. With the interchangable options it is endless fun. This knife is truely incredible. If your looking for a knife to spend a little extra money on. You will not be disappointed.
LionSteel TRE Three Rapid Exchange Folder 2.91" M390 Blade, Matte Titanium Handles, Blue Accents
I bought this knife as a dress carry option instead of my more utilitarian beat-em-up knives I use for cutting things on a daily basis. Fit and finish is top notch, the knife is extremely sharp from the package, and the locking mechanism is secure and confidence inspiring. If anything, my only complaints are that it doesn't flip exceptionally well unless you break it in and lubricate the detent with teflon grease, and that the blue anodizing will scratch easily if you brush up against something hard like a granite countertop. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this knife. I never intend to use it for heavy cutting tasks as I wear it more like jewelry than a tool, but I think it would hold up to hard cutting tasks well if put to use.
LionSteel TRE Three Rapid Exchange Folder 2.91" M390 Blade, Matte Titanium Handles, Blue Accents
First of all, this is a great knife. I love that you can change things around to switch between cleaner lines or faster opening. The flipping action is very smooth and consistent. The lockup is solid with no play. The blade is perfectly sharp from the factory and has a very nice feel to it. The contoured edge is a very nice touch. The only issue I have is when using the thumb stud with my right hand. I'm right handed and find it nearly impossible to open the blade right handed with the thumb stud. I realized I could easily use the thumb stud with my left hand and I quickly realized that the natural right hand position has you putting sideways pressure on the blade while intending the flick it up. This pushes the blade against the detent ball and makes it really hard to open. Sadly I specifically wanted the TRE to use with the thumb stud only, but found myself having to keep the flipper tab on. It kind of defeats the purpose for now, but I intend on using this blade a lot so I imagine it will break in over time.
