The LionSteel bestMAN Santos Wood is where tradition meets modern performance, creating a pocket knife that feels just as at home in a display case as it does in your hand. Designed and crafted in Maniago, Italy, this premium everyday carry pocket knife brings together timeless styling with cutting-edge materials. Whether you’re reaching for it during your daily routine or admiring its fine craftsmanship, the bestMAN is ready to impress.
At the heart of this knife are two precision-ground blades: a 2.8-inch clip point and a 2.57-inch Wharncliffe. Both are crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel, one of the most advanced steels in the knife world. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390 ensures that these blades perform with confidence in every task. Each blade features a beautiful satin finish and ambidextrous long pulls, making them practical and easy to open for both left- and right-handed users. At just 0.1 inches thick, the blades deliver a fine cutting edge while retaining the strength needed for dependable use.
The handle is a showpiece all its own. Rich Santos wood scales bring warmth and natural beauty, each one displaying unique grain patterns that make every bestMAN truly one of a kind. Complementing the wood are robust 6AL-4V titanium bolsters, adding strength and a subtle modern touch to the classic slip joint design. At 9.37 inches overall when opened and weighing just 3.28 ounces, it strikes the perfect balance between a solid feel in hand and easy pocket carry.
This is a knife built for those who appreciate the artistry of a traditional slip joint but demand the superior materials and precision engineering of today. It’s elegant enough for dress carry yet versatile for the range of tasks a true everyday carry knife faces. LionSteel’s commitment to quality is evident in every detail, from the clean, flush transitions between wood and titanium to the smooth action of the blades.
