The more I hold and fondle, and of course cut with it, the more I find the SR-1 to be an amazing knife!:thumbup::thumbup:
The one piece handle of titanium just floors me as to how Lion Steel got the framelock bent enough to give this knife the solid lockup it has. The first thing people say when they see and then hold this knife is that they love the maching on the handle. When I ask them to spot something that makes it different from other knives, it's rare that they recognize the one piece frame. Of course these are nonknife people. But then when I explain how it is cut from a solid block of titanium they are suitably impressed!
The blade has to be one of, if not the sharpest, knife I've ever received from the manufacturer.:thumbup: The barest misstep will get you a "bite" from it. With the flat ground blade it is really a nice slicer. I also like the thick stock it is ground from (.187") for the strength it gives the blade. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this Sleipner steel in other models.
As far as the steel insert, and the Roto Lock goes, I love them!
I currently have the SR-1 V, but I want to add the SR-1 B to the mix. Might have be my Christmas present from me to me. Afterall, I have been a good boy this year.
