Lionsteel Flipper SR3?

[PSU2001]

Is a flipper in the works over at Lionsteel for the New Year????

 

[GianniLion]

Yes it is, I will have the first sample for Shot Show.

Isn't the new flipper in m390? I thought i may have read that some where? Will it run IKBS or some form of bearing system?

 

[GianniLion]

Yes and yes.... M390 and IKBS.... and something else

M390 with a premium heat treating.

M390 with a premium heat treating.

For better edge retention or corrosion resistance?

Yes and yes.... M390 and IKBS.... and something else

A small 3" blade of M390, IKBS flipper and hopefully light weight would be a winner pending price.

I agree, there aren't many options for those of us looking for a 3" flipper with premium materials.

Flipper integral???

 

[RamZar]

Flipper integral???

Unfortunately, no. It would've been the first production integral flipper!

Some inputs:
Blade in M390 around 3"
Not Solid, frame and handle Titanium 3D milled.
Flipper with something new....
IKBS
Solid clip Ti ... Maybe...
Molletta design

It does have a stainless steel lock insert so no sticky lock issues like we had with the CRKT Hi Jinx.

yes it is, the knife will have the stainless lock insert.

I'm hoping the blade length is exactly 3" and not 3.1" like the SR-1 so that more people can legally carry it in their municipalities.

Also, I'm hoping it weighs in at around 4 ounces or less.

It'd be great if LionSteel offered both stonewashed and satin blades. Ideally, a stonewashed frame option as well.

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention!

The size and weight makes no difference to me, I will get one no matter what! :thumbup:
