LionSteel Shuffler

[Laurelbb]

I have all 3 of the 'Euro Barlow's', plus an Otnat, now I'm starting to think I need another Shuffler!

Sounds great, and kind of what I suspected. Now it's only a matter of choosing the model

It came

Got the same model. Careful, it has an amazing propensity to make you want more of the "modern vintage". And yes, I really like the Otnat in natural micarta that arrived this week also.

I can definitely see that. I originally wanted one in bone micarta, but it was sold out. The problem is that there's a ~50 buck import tax, in addition to the shipping. Might actually be a salvation.

Finally starting to see some new variations....

That micarta looks 738% nicer than the first run. Well done.

They look great Mike, the olive wood with anodized bolsters is especially tempting.

GREAT MICARTA! I may need to get one of these! (again)

I wonder if there will be options in the future to mix and match any handle, bolster, or blade style. Also I would like to see a smaller version. I love my roundhead.

Agree. Love my Roundhead and Dom. Would like to have option to buy package of scales and bolsters. Also a small size would be interesting.

New Shufflers have "Blade and Bolsters are Damasteel Super Dense Steel".

Is this just for collectors really, those that like the appearance of Damascus? Are there other benefits to the steel? It seems like quite a price jump from M390 to this.

if additional scales were available in nice wood and new micarta colors like red and orange and blue, these would be even nicer and they are already really good.

one knife with quick change covers would be popular.

 

[BenjaminRush]

Does anyone have photos of the new variations? I'd really love a damasteel one but the price is prohibitive, so I'm eyeing some of the other versions!

Compared to the other two Shufflers I have owned, this one has a much stronger spring, I would rate it a 6-7 where the last one was quite a light pull, my friend had it with him today at work and I'd put his about 3-4 or so, much lighter pull than say a SAK Pioneer main blade. He is quite happy with his, as he has little or no finger nails being a machinist...I suppose...and being a lighter pull is a benefit for him. While I do like this stronger one I just got.

I know that he'd like to get different scales for his, stag or even ebony as he liked the ones on my knife. I'm sure that would be a nice option to have available but if it were, having separate images for the stag, ram, even some of the woods would help buyers pull the trigger with less worry about what will arrive.

I would very much like to know where you got the sheath for that one... my ebony Shuffler will arrive on Monday. I was going to make a sheath, but that one looks really nice.

Thanks, that's one that I made, I make sheaths for folders, but need the folder in order to fit them up.
You can email me if you need something made.

I’ve always wanted to try one of these and now that there are more in stock I should order one while I still can. What covers to get: Rams Horn or Carbon Fiber?

Well, the US postal service fooled me.... my knife arrived today. Initial reaction? What a great knife! Beautifully made, just borderline perfection. I'll shoot you an email to discuss possibilities.... I will likely still make one of my own, but I'm just getting started in making sheaths, so it might take several attempts to get anywhere nearly as nice as the one you made....

And they are pretty nice knives too, congrats!

+1 on offering scale kits in different materials!! Would love the flexibility to change out the look of the knife....although doing that may cannabilize sales of knives. I have one in white micarta that I just can't warm up
to. I'll either find replacement scales or sell it.

Gary, this is your second go around on this one no? BTW love your photography!
