SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel L.E. One is a high-performance folding Karambit that merges precision Italian engineering with Emerson's tactical expertise. Designed for durability, rapid deployment, and adaptability, this knife is ideal for users seeking a dependable, close-quarters tool with premium materials and refined functionality.
The 3.23-inch hawkbill blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel, offering a superior blend of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade maintains a low-reflection surface suitable for both tactical and utility applications. Its aggressive curve is purpose-built for controlled slicing and hooking motions, common in defense scenarios or demanding field use.
This manual folder integrates LionSteel’s innovative REF (Removable Flipper) system, allowing users to customize their deployment method. With a simple Torx adjustment, the flipper tab can be removed and replaced with a matching cap screw, giving the blade spine a clean, streamlined appearance when preferred. For instant deployment, the Emerson Wave feature enables the knife to open automatically as it's drawn from the pocket, putting it into action faster than most assisted-opening mechanisms.
The handle is a solid block of green Ergal aluminum, precision-milled for exceptional strength and consistency. LionSteel’s signature monolithic handle design ensures zero flex and a cohesive feel in the hand. A Karambit-style finger ring enhances retention during use and provides additional leverage. The integral stainless steel frame lock offers secure blade lockup, while the ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip ensures reliable carry for both left- and right-handed users.
Measuring 5.04 inches closed and weighing 4.73 ounces, the L.E. One maintains a compact, pocket-friendly footprint without compromising grip or utility. Every detail reflects LionSteel's craftsmanship, with handmade production in Maniago, Italy, renowned for its legacy in knife making.
The LionSteel L.E. One is built for hard use, rapid deployment, and ergonomic control, making it a top-tier folding Karambit for those who demand performance without compromise.
