LionSteel KUR Santos Wood 3.43in Plain Stonewash Drop Point LSKURST

The LionSteel KUR Santos Wood Stonewash blends refined Italian craftsmanship with a robust, work-ready design that feels as good in the hand as it looks. This folding knife is built for those who appreciate natural materials paired with modern performance, offering a balance of strength, smooth operation, and timeless style. Every detail reflects LionSteel’s commitment to quality and thoughtful engineering.

At the heart of the KUR is an 87 mm (3.43-inch) drop point blade made from Sleipner steel, a premium tool steel prized for its toughness, edge stability, and long-lasting sharpness. This steel is designed to handle demanding cutting tasks without sacrificing control or reliability. With a blade thickness of 4.5 mm, the KUR feels solid and confident, ready to tackle tougher jobs while still maintaining precise cutting ability. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a clean, utilitarian appearance while helping mask wear and scratches from regular use, allowing the knife to age gracefully over time.

Deployment is smooth and intuitive thanks to the blade flipper, which delivers quick, consistent opening with one hand. Once open, the blade locks securely in place using a liner lock mechanism. This proven locking system provides dependable strength and safety during use while remaining easy to disengage when it’s time to close the knife. The action feels crisp and controlled, reinforcing the KUR’s reputation as a well-built, user-focused folding knife.

What truly sets this version apart is the santos wood handle. Known for its rich color and striking grain patterns, santos wood brings a warm, natural character to the knife while maintaining durability and stability. Each handle has its own unique look, making every KUR Santos Wood slightly different from the next. The handle is shaped for comfort and control, fitting naturally in the hand and providing a secure grip during extended cutting tasks. The combination of natural wood and precision-machined construction creates a knife that feels both traditional and modern.

With a closed length of 123 mm (4.84 inches), the KUR carries comfortably, while its overall length of 210 mm (8.27 inches) provides excellent reach and balance when open. Weighing 158 grams (5.57 ounces), it has a reassuring heft that speaks to its durability without feeling bulky or unwieldy. The balance between blade and handle makes the knife feel lively and responsive in use, whether you’re handling everyday cutting tasks or more demanding work.

The LionSteel KUR Santos Wood Stonewash is more than just a folding knife; it’s a statement of craftsmanship and purpose. It combines high-performance materials, elegant natural accents, and reliable mechanics into a tool that’s built to be used and appreciated for years to come.
