The LionSteel Myto Old Black delivers a bold, modern take on Italian knife design, blending premium materials with a purposeful, no-nonsense aesthetic. This folding knife is built for those who value clean lines, dependable performance, and a refined edge that stands out without calling attention to itself. Every detail reflects LionSteel’s reputation for precision manufacturing and thoughtful design.
Measuring 201 mm overall with an 83 mm blade length, the Myto Old Black offers a balanced profile that feels confident in hand while remaining easy to carry. The blade is crafted from M390 sintered steel, a high-performance material known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Finished in a black PVD coating with a stone washed treatment, the blade gains a rugged, low-profile appearance that helps mask wear while adding visual depth. At 4 mm thick, it provides reassuring strength and stability, making it ready for consistent, real-world cutting tasks.
Smooth deployment comes via the blade flipper, delivering fast, controlled opening with a refined action that feels deliberate and solid. Once open, the frame lock engages securely, providing dependable lockup you can trust. The gray titanium frame contributes to the knife’s strength while maintaining a streamlined profile, and it pairs seamlessly with the black titanium handle scales made from Titanium 6Al4V. This premium alloy is prized for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to wear, giving the Myto Old Black a robust feel without excessive heft. The total weight of 118 grams strikes a comfortable balance between durability and carry comfort.
The black handle finish enhances the knife’s understated character, offering a sleek, tactical-inspired look that remains versatile enough for everyday use. Its clean contours and ergonomic shaping ensure a comfortable grip, whether the knife is used for quick cuts or longer tasks. When closed, the Myto measures 4.64 inches, making it compact enough to carry discreetly while still feeling substantial and well-balanced.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the Myto Old Black, from the precise fit and finish to the seamless transitions between blade, frame, and handle. LionSteel’s approach focuses on purposeful design rather than excess, resulting in a knife that feels cohesive, refined, and built to last. It’s a folder that performs reliably while maintaining a sophisticated, modern presence.
The presentation matches the knife’s premium nature. The Myto Old Black arrives in an elegant, entirely recyclable cardboard box, reflecting LionSteel’s commitment to sustainability without compromising on style. It’s packaging that feels appropriate for a high-quality knife and makes it an excellent choice for collectors and discerning users alike.
Whether it’s carried daily, added to a collection of finely made folders, or chosen for its striking blacked-out design and premium materials, the LionSteel Myto Old Black stands out as a confident, capable knife. Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, this exceptional LionSteel folder can also be found through the best online knife store, offering trusted quality and service to match the craftsmanship of the knife itself.
