LionSteel L.E. One Chemical Black MagnaCut Red Aluminum Folding Knife LSLE1ARB

The LionSteel L.E. One Chemical Black MagnaCut Red Aluminum is a high-performance folding knife that fuses advanced materials, innovative deployment systems, and Italian craftsmanship into a single formidable package. Designed for speed, control, and reliability, this knife is equally at home in demanding field use or as a standout addition to any collection.

Its 3.23" Hawkbill blade is forged from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel—one of the most advanced and sought-after steels on the market today. Developed to maximize toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut eliminates chromium carbide formation during heat treatment, resulting in exceptional resistance to chipping and breaking. The Chemical Black finish not only adds a sleek, tactical appearance but also helps reduce glare and adds a layer of protection against the elements. The Hawkbill profile excels in pulling cuts, controlled slicing, and tasks requiring a strong, hooked tip.

Deployment is fast and versatile thanks to LionSteel’s innovative REF (REmoveable Flipper) system and Ernest Emerson’s signature Emerson Wave feature. The REF system lets you remove or reattach the flipper tab to suit your preference, while the Emerson Wave catches the pocket’s edge as you draw the knife, opening the blade instantly so it’s ready for action the moment it’s in your hand.

The handle is a single piece of precision-milled red aluminum, giving the knife both strength and a striking visual profile. A finger ring at the end provides added retention and control, especially during rapid deployment or in challenging conditions. The stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure tip-up carry, keeping the knife accessible and ready.

At 5.04" closed and weighing 4.73 ounces, the L.E. One is robust enough for hard use while remaining comfortable to carry. Every detail reflects LionSteel’s dedication to quality, from the precision machining to the seamless integration of modern features. Handmade in Maniago, Italy—a city with centuries of knife-making tradition—this knife represents the perfect blend of heritage and innovation. Order it today from SMKW!
