Details

The SR-11 Integral Flipper knife from LionSteel Italy is the next generation of the wildly popular SR-1 models. Now with a flipper, internal bearings pivot system and tungsten carbide glass breaker the SR-11 is ready for lift off. 

Brand new product directly from LionSteel Knives, Italy. Winner 2017 Blade Show Overall Knife of the Year

The Blade: Made from a high-alloyed stainless tool steel known as Sleipner created by Uddelholm for excellent wear and chipping resistance combined with high hardness. It works hard and comes shaving sharp right out of the box. The big belly of the SR-1 is trimmed down here a bit and given an aggressive upper swedge grind. This allows for a more "piercing" drop point than its predecessor. This version is beautifully satin finished with a crowned spine and integral flipper tab deployment that's just a joy to employ. Spot on detent. The action is well done. It's thick, too. This is a blade that won't shy away from hard work. 

The Handle: Integral. It's built from a single, unique piece of Aluminum completely worked using 4-axis machining. This texturing has been taken up a notch or two from the SR-1. It feels fantastic and is in no way aggressive. The single piece is red finished and comes complete with a frame locking mechanism plus Rotoblock system. That's your lock bar stabilizer that, if spun, will completely block or lock your bar in the open position. This, in essence, turns your folder into a fixed blade. Once spun back the other way, you are free to release the lock bar. Pretty cool. A lanyard hole is built into the handle.

The SR-11 Flipper ships with a glass breaker attached deep carry pocket clip that can be flipped to the other side of the handle. A proprietary pivot tool is taped to the bottom of the box.
