LionSteel - Aluminium Black / Black Blade Folding Knife - ROK A BB

YEAR Aluminum Black / Black Blade, a unique folder (Solid folding knife) from the Italian manufacture LionSteel, which is a proof of achieving the very high technological development used in the production of knives. YEAR is an extraordinary tool that has been designed to have various intelligent and useful functions, thanks to which he was awarded the "Manufacturing Quality" award from Blade magazine.

YEAR Aluminum design by Molletta, the fruit of cooperation with a well-known and respected designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (by Mollett), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experiments in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in the design of knives.

NFC lionsteel - technology that the manufacturer joined the set. After installing the app on your smartphone from the App Store, you can check the various details of the product, activate the warranty, contact the customer service and get information about LionSteel products.

M390 - blade made of the highest quality of modern powder steel, with extremely high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. High-chromium steel with an admixture of vanadium, hardness 60-61 HRC. Manufactured at the Austrian Böhler-Uddeholm steelworks.

The 4.5mm thick massive blade with a Drop Point profile with a clearly marked belly blade provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Plain smooth blade is derived by a flat grind, which perfectly presents MilSpec's matt black finish. On the back of the blade, the notched upper back (upper jimping).

Flipper - a protrusion placed on the underside of the blade, by IKBS (ball bearing system) enables quick and smooth opening of the blade. It consists of a small lever protruding from the back of the handle when the blade is closed. In the open position it serves as a lower cover (one-sided) to protect the hand from sliding off the handle. In YEAR, you can unscrew the flipper, ReF (Removable Flipper System, unscrew the flipper fin, and then insert the second screw located in the box) opening the blade with both hands. This is important in countries where there is a ban on the use of knives with blades open with one hand in public places.

Solid Frame-Lock - reinforced, monolithic blockade of Ergal aluminum blades. One of the claddings acts as a blocking mechanism.

RotoLock - a lock with a patented additional locking mechanism in the shape of a titanium plate by Gianni Pauletta. When the knife is open, turning the RotoLock by about 1/8 turn clockwise wedges the locking mechanism, preventing unintentional release of the blade lock, ensures blade stability identical to that of a fixed blade knife.

Handle - made in SOLID Knife technology from a single piece of Ergal aluminum, machined using CNC machine tools with non-slip texture for a better grip. Thanks to that a single skeleton (body) was obtained, which is a strong, solid construction element.

H.WAYL - (Hide What Annoys You Lionsteel) hidden right-handed clip that allows you to carry the knife in the tip-up position (tip top). The removal of the clip takes place only by means of a button. The solution is appreciated during prolonged use of the knife, when the classic protruding clip may interfere during work.
