Lion Steel - New Take on the slip joint
Just got this. It's a Lion Steel slip joint with M390 steel. Cardboard falls in half, when you point it at it

Re: Lion Steel - New Take on the slip joint
I've got a couple. Both from the second run. Great knives indeed.
My other one is a Spear blade in Black Carbon Fiber but for some reason I never took a picture of it.

Re: Lion Steel - New Take on the slip joint
Both your Lion Steel knives look fine and I'm sure perform exceptionally. I say that because, as you may know, the Italian manufactured knives are running away with multiple awards at the Blade Show and elsewhere.

I've got a first-run spear point in ram's horn and a first-run CF sheepsfoot. Both are immaculately machined and assembled. The latter gets some pretty regular carry. I haven't swapped around any handles yet but I've been considering putting the ram's horn on the sheepsfoot for a change.
I definitely want to get my hands on a Viper.

You will love Viper knives. I have 3 and they’re all great. I have been eyeing this Lion Steel for some time. This is pushing me closer to the trigger.

Maserin from Italy also makes many superb knives. At a more reasonable price than Lion Steel.
