An ambitious folder.

LorenzoL said:
It is certainly a good knife but it lacks the monoblock Ti construction that makes the SR-1 unique. There are only 3 folders with integral handle construction that I know of: the Lochsa, the GTC and the Lionsteel. The first two cost more than $1000.

Guys, heads-up: KnifeArt has a few SR-1s in stock.

I have at least one of each of the titanium integral knives. There will soon be another maker.......

My first SR1 (from the first run) had a V grind, the second (from the second run) has a convex grind and the back is a little more radiused on the edges. I made the second one a user, man, is it sharp!!!

Must be someone else because Lionsteel is going to make it for Spyderco. Maybe the Hest folder but that is still Lionsteel making it and not another company.

There is another maker besides Loinsteel, Scott Cook and GTC that is in the process of making a one piece titanium frame folder and he should be done soon. I didn't mean someone else was making the Lionsteel design, sorry for any confusion.

Their site still shows the bronze and the blasted TI as in stock, only the blue anodized is gone.

Congrats, quite a collection, there.
Both my SR-1s have a flat grind and a convex edge, I wonder if only the latest batch has the convex grind...

It's sharp.
Here a video with 400 cuts on a syntetic rope (22 mm) in 10 minutes. Camera don't make film up to 10 minutes. Test ended with 600 cuts.
On the some rope a kinfe with 7 inch stainless blade finish the test with 80 cuts.

Anyone know when and if a Black on Black SR-1 will be available? I saw one in the catalog that came with my 2nd run SR-1. It was extremely cool looking.:thumbup:
 
Is the lock also aluminum on the black prototype? Or is it more like a conventional framelock with ti-lock and and aluminum scale instead of the one piece ti handle?

I think the picture demonstrates it uses the same inserts as the titanium version.
