LionSteel bestMAN FAQ

The LionSteel bestMAN series blends classic slipjoint styling with modern Italian manufacturing, pairing premium M390 blade steel with lightweight titanium bolsters.

What blade configurations are available in the LionSteel bestMAN series?
The LionSteel bestMAN comes in three distinct blade configurations: a single clip point blade (BM1), a single drop point blade (BM2), and a two-blade jack knife version featuring both a clip point and a Wharncliffe blade (BM13). Each version features full flat grinds with subtle swedges near the tip for efficient slicing.
What blade steel does the LionSteel bestMAN use?
All knives in the LionSteel bestMAN lineup are crafted with Bohler M390 stainless steel. This high-end powdered metallurgy super steel offers outstanding edge retention and strong corrosion resistance, keeping maintenance minimal during regular everyday use.
Does the LionSteel bestMAN have a blade lock?
No, the LionSteel bestMAN is a non-locking slipjoint folder. It uses a backspring with a positive half-stop for added safety during opening and closing, featuring crisp walk and talk as well as dual-sided nail pulls that allow easy ambidextrous operation.
What handle materials and finishes are featured on the bestMAN?
Every bestMAN model features solid titanium bolsters paired with handle scales in natural canvas Micarta, carbon fiber, or genuine hardwoods such as olive wood, Santos wood, and ebony. LionSteel crowns both the blade spine and the exposed backspring, giving the knife a smooth, refined feel in the hand.
Is the LionSteel bestMAN a good knife for everyday carry?
Yes, the bestMAN makes an exceptional modern traditional folder for daily carry. With a practical 2.8-inch cutting edge, slender pocket profile, lightweight titanium construction, and premium M390 edge retention, it handles routine utility tasks with understated style.
