SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel L.E. One in Stonewash MagnaCut with Black Aluminum handles is a hard-use folder built for speed, control, and modern tactical function. The 3.23-inch hawkbill blade is forged from CPM-MagnaCut, a high-performance stainless tool steel known for its elite toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Finished in a rugged stonewash, this blade is made for aggressive cutting tasks and excels in pull cuts, slicing, and utility work.
CPM Magnacut Stainless Tool Steel is one of the newest and most innovative steel types in the world, combining unsurpassed toughness and undefeatable resistance. Magnacut steel was formulated to eliminate chromium carbide in the heating process, making it especially resilient against chipping and breaking.
This knife is loaded with next-gen deployment features. LionSteel’s innovative R.E.F. (Removable Flipper) system lets you choose between flipper or non-flipper carry. Pair that with Ernest Emerson’s patented Wave feature—which snags your pocket seam during the draw to instantly deploy the blade—and you’ve got a knife that’s open and ready the moment it clears your pocket.
The handle is crafted from a single piece of black milled aluminum, offering strength, balance, and a sleek, low-profile silhouette. A rear finger ring allows for rapid deployment and solid retention during high-stress use. The stainless steel pocket clip secures the knife for tip-up carry and keeps it where you need it when seconds count.
Handmade in Maniago, Italy, the L.E. One represents the best of European precision and American tactical innovation. It’s a modern fighting folder for those who expect performance and reliability from every detail of their gear.
