High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel L.E. One Stonewash MagnaCut Red Aluminum is a bold, high-performance folding knife built for those who demand uncompromising strength, speed, and control. Handmade in Maniago, Italy, this knife is the product of meticulous craftsmanship paired with forward-thinking engineering, offering a balance of precision, durability, and innovative function.
Its 3.23" CPM-MagnaCut stainless tool steel hawkbill blade is the centerpiece of its performance. MagnaCut is one of the most advanced steels ever developed, engineered to deliver exceptional edge retention, unmatched corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. By eliminating chromium carbide formation during the heat-treat process, MagnaCut gains enhanced structural integrity, making it highly resistant to chipping and breaking even under extreme use. The hawkbill profile excels at controlled slicing and pull cuts, making it ideal for cutting rope, stripping cable, and handling a wide range of utility tasks. The rugged stonewash finish minimizes glare and helps mask scratches from regular use.
The L.E. One’s deployment system is a standout feature. LionSteel’s innovative REF: REmoveable Flipper system lets you customize the knife’s opening method to your preference—keep the flipper tab for rapid opening or remove it for a streamlined profile. Ernest Emerson’s patented Emerson Wave notch adds another layer of speed, automatically deploying the blade as you draw the knife from your pocket so it’s ready before you even get your grip. This dual deployment capability offers versatility for any carry style or operational need.
The handle is precision-milled from a single piece of anodized red aluminum, delivering exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The integrated finger ring provides superior retention and control, particularly in high-movement or high-pressure situations. A stainless steel pocket clip secures the knife in tip-up position, keeping it ready for immediate access. At 5.04" closed and 4.73oz, the L.E. One has a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without becoming cumbersome in everyday carry.
From its groundbreaking steel to its adaptable deployment options and single-piece aluminum construction, the LionSteel L.E. One is more than just a knife—it’s a versatile, purpose-built tool ready to excel in the field, on the job, or in everyday life.
