I've been carrying a black annodized LionSteel SR-1 for the last couple of days.
The most interesting thing about the knife is the handle, which incredibly is 3D machined from a single block of aluminum. The design is so complex that it looks like it was cast molded instead. The other great features are the large 3.5x1.25" polished D2 blade, the short but effective polished deep pocket clip and the patented RotoBlock which can be used to lock the blade open or closed. The replaceable steel tip at the end of the liner lock is another unique feature.
This is the knife upon which I believe that the Spyderco LionSpy, which I also own, was based. While the much more expensive LionSpy is an exceptional knife w/an Elmax blade and G10/Ti scales, the SR1 is an excellent knife that would be exceptional for EDC and could also be used effectively for SD as well as a camp knife. So, I'd rather carry/use the SR-1 than risk damaging the LionSpy.

Never been a huge fan of the FFG manix leaf shape blade, but I'll be dammed that hollow ground version is just sexy, gives it a whole new look. Might try look for one, don't like my chances.Had a nice walk outta the woods this morning, I even made it in enough time to get cleaned up and take my wife to lunch so I switched up to these guys.
Oh!!! Great, thanx!
And i just finally got it says uncomfortable, now totally understood. Am watching unreally cool movie Disconnect, should have try long before but i messed it up with Cellular and didnt try. The translator made an explanation in subtitles that Le quisine is that easy made food they sell in usa etc... i am glad to finally know that there are translators that actually try to translate. Similar case here, thanks again!
