The LionSteel SR11A Black Monolith is a powerful expression of modern Italian knife design, built for those who appreciate strength, precision, and a clean, understated aesthetic. This folding knife delivers a confident balance of performance and refinement, combining robust materials with thoughtful engineering to create a tool that feels dependable the moment it’s in hand. Every detail reflects LionSteel’s dedication to craftsmanship and functional beauty.
With an overall length of 8.31 inches, the SR11A Black Monolith offers a substantial yet well-balanced profile that inspires confidence during use. The 3.70-inch blade is crafted from Sleipner steel, a high-performance tool steel valued for its toughness, edge stability, and ease of maintenance. Finished with a smooth satin polish, the blade provides reliable cutting performance while highlighting the precision of LionSteel’s machining. A blade thickness of 4.5 mm adds serious strength and rigidity, making this knife capable of handling demanding cutting tasks without feeling unwieldy.
Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to the blade flipper, allowing smooth, one-handed opening whenever needed. Once open, the frame lock engages securely, delivering a solid lockup you can trust. LionSteel’s attention to tolerances and lock geometry is evident in the knife’s consistent action and reassuring feel, ensuring long-term reliability with regular use.
The Monolith designation speaks to the knife’s innovative construction. The aluminum frame is machined with precision to create a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, keeping the total weight to just 5.15 ounces. This makes the SR11A noticeably comfortable to carry while still offering a substantial, confidence-inspiring grip. The black handle finish enhances the knife’s sleek, modern appearance and pairs perfectly with the satin blade for a clean, purposeful look. Subtle contouring and ergonomic shaping ensure the handle sits naturally in the hand, providing comfort and control during extended use.
The SR11A Black Monolith is designed to be versatile and dependable, fitting seamlessly into a wide range of daily cutting roles. Its balance of strength, weight, and refined styling makes it equally appealing to serious users and collectors who value thoughtful design.
